Game Day Port v Hawthorn @ Etihad, Round 21 2015

[mic59]

The Dogs and Bombers game showed we tend to leak a little on the scoreboard at Etihad. It's a worry but the Hawks are beatable, we fight it out see what happens.

I love your sense of understatement.

 

[Byrons Firen]

I guess a couple of the Hawthorn older blokes could be exposed for lack of pace at etihad.. or am I clutching?

They cover/hide their lack of leg speed by the way they flip it around.
Not hopeful tonight
The standard quip is no injuries,as its Etihad I hope for no concussions.
The Hoff got KO'd there 1st game 2013 and wasn't himself for weeks.

When the fixture came out at the start of the year, this was the match I was most excited about. Now I'm scared. Hold me.

I fear a repeat of round 21, 2011.

****in noah dealt with a smaller leak than our form at Etihad.

"a little". LOL

This is Travis Boaks chance with no Wines and Polec to put the midfield on his back and play his best game of the year.
Also I have full faith in 22 year old Jack Hombsch to be a leader in our backline without Carlile and Trengove.
Paddy Ryder also with no help in the ruck from Lobbe or Trengove (With slight help from Westhoff) needs to have a big game.
If the rumours about Jay Schulz are true, I hope this can be a vintage Schulz goal kicking performance, Just like old times.

We really have no reason to take it easy this game. If we lose, we don't go any lower. The players should go out there and please the supporters by putting up a fight. Just like last week. Hawks are the hunted, Let's put a dent in their confidence, bruise and batter a few of their players via tough footy heading into their finals campaign.

Just like in the video below, We are the visitors in white, against the brown and gold, difficulty set to 3. The bookies have given us little to no chance.
Let's put up a fight on Friday night.

Boy, Friday comes around quick.

I too am feeling a little good about this game. But then again, I feel good about every game. I'm one of those.

'Cup half full guy' -

 

[PowerBaz]

"a little". LOL

And not a great ground for turn-overs..... ahhh.... we are good at those too which tends to = leaky scoreboard. We need to be clean around the centre, coming out of half back and deliver on the chest of forwards going into our 50, otherwise it will be a mess!

 

[El Zorro]

I'm nosy as f*** I love to know what happens when people get banned or carded.

I got banned twice, once for saying that Ricciuto was a flog in the Crows board (in response to his dig at Kane Cornes for his retirement) and the second for posting a photo of "aeroplane" Chaplin in the Richmond board after one of their shocking loses, I don't remember which one.

 

[PowerBaz]

Gots some mates coming over to watch the game....

Cigars and brandy while watching the footy

So you'll be burning the TV and drowning it in spirits!

Chucked down $150 on us at $9 via sportsbet.

I'm an equal parts mixture of confidence, arrogance and recklessness.

Remember the chemical burn scene in Fight Club? That's what this game is for us.

"This is the greatest moment in your life and you're off somewhere missing it!"

"**** damnation, man! **** redemption! If we are the AFL's unwanted children, so be it!"

These are the types of games that leave you with a scar. Not in a "woe is me I'll never be good enough" way, but in a "pain is my motivation to struggle through adversity when the going gets tough" way.

"Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing."

They are personally chaperoned in a divvy van and driven directly to a Moderator Station (similar to a police station), where they are then processed, lubricated with a strawberry flavoured lube (which is curiously inedible) and placed into abnormally large pneumatic tubes which are connected to 145 different locations around Australia - each of which has some sort of deadly danger within it, be it starving crocodiles or Lego on the floor in a dark room. The banned individuals must, in the face of mortality, defeat the given deadly danger before they are allowed to post again.

You get a message like this one and then can't post for the period of time you are banned for. But you can still read stuff and resent the fact that life goes on without your witty and insightful posts...

This has turning off before halftime written all over it.

I'm so glad we are playing the hawks and freo in what would have been the lead up to the finals in which we woud have played the hawks and freo.

Meanwhile, sydney get brisbane and st. kilda etc. etc.

Our draw has been bookended by utter ****ing nonsense.

At least we provide an off-season challenge for Gil. How is he going to screw us over with the 2016 draw when we get more double ups against teams 7 - 12 rather than 1 - 6?
