Preliminary Final #1: Hawthorn v Adelaide - Pre-Match

[vonn]

Gee, I hope Hawthorn give us this same lack of respect next week because we'll spank them if they do.

Why do you think it's a lack of respect? Hawthorn's form has been unstoppable recently. It's not about the lack of quality of the opponent but the quality of Hawthorn.

I'm hoping like hell for an upset.

 

[Igloo]

Hawks by 54 after they take the foot off the gas to save themselves for the GF.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Gee, I hope Hawthorn give us this same lack of respect next week because we'll spank them if they do.

And that is probably the only real chance the Crows have. I reckon your guys are a year early.

If Hawthorn are fully wound up they will win comfortably.

 

[Gizza]

Hawks will have a training drill before the big one.

 

[Crows4Eva]

No chance
Do well to get within ten goals

They probably thought they'd beat Richmond too, but what happened there?

 

[nerRADIAN]

If Talia, Shaw, Petrenko etc. were all in, Adelaide would be in with a shot. But they aren't, and saying ''what if'' isn't changing that. Unfortunately, it will get ugly. Hawthorn by 46. Buddy to kick 7

I think that will help, Petrenko has been terrible the last few weeks and Riley or Martin should take his place and do much better. Shaw I don't rate one on one, Otten is better suited to the Hawks forwards. Talia is the only real loss, but that will be evened out by them playing Schoenmakers.

 

[The2ndComing]

We are going to be so fresh going into the big one. Absolute stroll in. I will be annoyed if we dont win by more than 40.

Whilst Sydney and Pies/WC will belt each other to pieces.

 

[Crows4Eva]

And that is probably the only real chance the Crows have. I reckon your guys are a year early.

If Hawthorn are fully wound up they will win comfortably.

I actually agree with the second part, I've been saying since mid-year that it's a year too soon.

Just sayin' that anyone in the top 8 can beat anyone else on a good day.

 

[Hodge is God]

Tipping the Hawks. Be a good battle though, Adelaide suffered a few injuries though.

 

[Commando]

They probably thought they'd beat Richmond too, but what happened there?

They weren't playing Richmond for a spot in the GF
Realistically you are missing key personnel against the form team after a week off in Melbourne

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

I think that will help, Petrenko has been terrible the last few weeks and Riley or Martin should take his place and do much better. Shaw I don't rate one on one, Otten is better suited to the Hawks forwards. Talia is the only real loss, but that will be evened out by them playing Schoenmakers.

It was a fair comment until the last line.

Lewis and Young to come back in.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Just sayin' that anyone in the top 8 can beat anyone else on a good day.

And I am not denigrating Adelaide, they have had a super season and have a brilliant young coach and some great talent.

Hawthorn are in a different class at the moment and should win.

 

[vast]

Hawks by 124

We've got our work cut out for us next Saturday.

 

[Commando]

Haha.. Yeah turn up and not get lost on the way to the ground

 

[sydney_hawka]

Unfinished business mate. Not a hope in hell of the Hawks turning up complacent.

 

[Gunstall19]

Hawks will only win by 40-50 points. They will back off in the last in preparation for the GF the following week.

 

[bugalugs213]

Look forward to it next week.
Cant see the Hawks taking anyone lightly it'll be good to see how they go about it

 

[MaccasNeighbour]

hawthorn will win by a minimum of 10 goals. game over by quarter time.

Exactly what Eddie Maguire said about the Roos before the 98 GF.

 

[Necromancer Beth]

I think Hawthorn will win.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I've booked my GF tickets. Corporate package.

 

[Jaeger]

Adelaide's flag to lose.

 

[sydney_hawka]

and, LOST one game since.

Michael Voss says hi

 

[Lasso]

It will be 1998 again, hawks to kick 2.35 to adelaides 9.1.

But seriously hawks by 40-50. Apparently we're talking about a match between the 'top 2'
