Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[amazingjoshy]

Imagine yourself at the end of round 5 being told by future you that

A) the hawks would win a final and would start favourites against Port in a semi final in Adelaide
B) Rory Lobb would be one of the bulldogs best in a losing final as a key defender

You’d think future you would be crazy.

And yet people still try to predict how teams will be travelling in 5 years time in this game

A good game plan, bit of confidence and momentum and literally anything can happen

 

[Seadog]

Every year people get excited about the winner of the game between the shit kickers. Bulldogs the exception but usually they get belted the next week.

True but they get to play a mentally weak football team next week. They are as good a chance as anyone next week the Hawks.

Going to be anarchy if Hawthorn belt Port next week, I want it

 

[Lunchtime]

Eh, good on the Hawks.

Goes to show what a young side with the right attitude can do. Also shows how quick things can turn (maybe good signs for us?)

Also feel they are the 2018 Melbourne, young with all the momentum (and media gushing), but will get found out in the next week or two. Not quite there year this year but building nicely

Yeah, I’ve been thinking of the similarities between the 2018 Melbourne and the Hawks this year

It’s why I wouldn’t mind having their F1 because Melbourne shat the bed in 2019

 

[Avalor]

Bont really had the clamps put on him. Hawks could get through to the GF- wouldn't be surprized.

I'm still cheering for a non-Vic team to get up.

Except Port. Straight sets pls.

Port might cease to exist after next week. It will be ugly, the Hawks will annihilate them.

Genuinely considering putting a few bucks on them to win by 100+.

GWS > Lions (with Cameron suspended) > Lions > Port (For the lulz from the fans with Kern winning it) > Heat Death of the Universe

Wondering if Freo kept Meek and had him up and going whenever Darcy was injured (basically the season), how deep would they have gone in finals this year?

Or even if they traded Darcy to the Cats as speculated and kept Meek instead.

 

[UseR2006]

Kens coming your way. Brace yourselves

Bit hard when he'll be re-signed to another 5 year deal when he gets your mob to a Prelim only to lose.

And 2019 Melbourne did….exactly what the Hawks will do next year.

Well not quite that bad.

But I’ll wear it if they’re anything better than fringe finalists next year. Regression to the mean coming in a big way, please please please get that future first rounder in the door. Pick 7-12, thanks.

then they wouldn't have starboy JOM

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Yep. Carr has the gig. Not that this leaves us with much confidence but it is what it is

I honestly don't think its Kens fault you guys have had a soft under belly for close to 20 years now .

Its in your DNA .

Never tear up our tarps

The Dogs just fell off a cliff after qtr time, along with their skills and footy smarts.
A 6th placed side? Sheesh. It's a final ffs, turned to mush...

No thanks. Can't see Port winning but Ken should be a non starter.

Did you even watch them last night?

Their key forwards are Dixon and Ratugolea, and they also have Narkle, McEntee, Jones, Francis Evans, Mead, BZT and Burgoyne running around. Butters looks injured and Rozee saves his worst for finals. On top of that they have Hinkley coaching them....They're stuffed

 

[Cuzz09]

win win

Port win: **** Hawks off
Hawks win: Sucked in Willie
