LMFAO
Classic

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Can only assume Jon is a demon fan.
A lot of the journo's have a laugh with their tips as they are gobsmacked at how seriously the average punter takes them.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Well, we are missing 4 of our top 10 players, But i dont see melbourne troubling us, our depth is much better then it has been previous years

 

[doodlefeatures]

I reckon Melbourne will struggle to score 65 points, let alone win by that much.

 

[HFC082]

He is right, but not by 65 points. Maybe 35.

 

[Roughie]

Melbourne will give us a fair run, I wouldnt be surprised if we lost.

 

[Stard Picket]

Are you for real?

Hawks are paying 1.33 to win and melbourne are paying 3.15 this is a good indication of which side will come out on top. Honestly if you cant get behind the boys on this one you have some issues. No chance Melbourne will win NONE

This game is definitely a danger game, don't be surprised if they push us or even get over the line. I honestly couldn't care if we struggled and won by 1 point, a win is a win especially with 4 out. But be ready for Melbourne to give it a huge shake. Upsets can happen.

 

[Carn Hawkas]

Must be a Melbourne fan.
If Melbourne do win it will only be by a few points.

 

[Lord_Espos]

Don't believe the hype.

The Hawks struggled against the Dees last year.

It was only after Neitz and I think Robertson injured themselves that the Hawks kicked on to win.

Don't just assume the Hawks have to turn up. This will be a hard season.

 

[Roughie]

Melbourne will give us a fair run, I wouldnt be surprised if we lost.

After seeing the final line up for Melbourne I really doubt we will loose now. But expect melbourne to fire in the first quarter book mark it.

 

[monhawks]

Our depth is way better than it used to be .I can't believe the negativity on this game .Hawthorn 6 goals plus. Melbourne are missing just as m,anmy and can't cover them as well. Our forwards will run a muck. Buddy will kick a bag .

 

[Gary Shadforth]

This game is definitely a danger game ....

All games are danger games.

 

[superstar]

All games are danger games.

Exactly.

But this one is against ordinary opposition. I want Hawthorn to be top 4 in 2008. To be top 4, we should comfortably put sides like Melbourne away, even without a few plaeyrs.

Don't just assume the Hawks have to turn up. This will be a hard season.

regardless of what happened last season against them, we are a different unit now. when we versed them, we had just come of a humiliating defeat against a side tipped for bottom 4.

This year it is the season opener, no pressure on the playing group or coach (at this stage anyway). understandably we would struggle last yr. this year is different, a different, more confident outfit then we had last yr.

dont be so down on them.

Jon Pierik is definitely a Carlton fan - I used to know him a while back...

For all you doubters it must be time for some humble pie GO HAWKS
