Looking forward to ending their season and pissing on the ashes.

 

[Mrzohs]

stopping there speed will be a key off half back.

But these two matchups will go a long way to winning the game
Tippa is there barometer and i can't wait to see dimma and him go to head ,
Also looking forward to stratts and stringer.
Go hawks

Looking forward to ending their season and pissing on the ashes.

I'm going to invite all my Scum supporting mates to come to the game just so I can watch their hearts break in person.

 

[Iceman!]

A chance to end the druggies season and get very close to locking in a top 8 spot!

Get keen for this one!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Morrison to come back in after a rest.

Where are our massive rivals?

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Assuming McEvoy isn't back wouldn't mind Morrison coming in for O'Rourke. Or anyone for O'Rourke really. Offers nothing

 

[Wesley2]

Need to lock these winnable games down. Geelong and Swans won't be easy so need to nail these ones.

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Seriously there should be 80-85k at this game. It has to happen. The stakes are massive.

I'd rank this the second hardest game of our final four (after Cats). Bombres are a fast team - and fast teams trouble us. Nevertheless, it's there for the taking.

 

[Roddy]

Not overly confident. They’re in better form than us, and they often play their grand final against us. We’ve beaten up on a couple of weak sides the last couple of weeks, but we’re still not overly convincing. Coming back from Perth and a day less rest.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

The Bombers are quick, so we need pace.

Morrison probably the one in the mix if he was rested... possibly for JOR, Worps or Whitey.

Two days less rest and we sleep in Perth tonight.

Fair advantage.

Fair advantage.

Unfair advantage

Fair advantage.

Yeah, two days, apologies.

 

[LRobbo]

The criminal enterprise will be fired up for this too. We rubbed their noses in it last time. Stop Saad & the extremely overrated Tipungwuti and we right in it. Speed hurts us but they can’t hurt us if they don’t have the pill.
No big forwards to worry us either.

Reckon we pinch it in a tight one

 

[madhawksfan]

Possibly horses for courses this week. Bombers play a small forward line so maybe Brand comes out (would be unlucky based on today).

However, the backline is functioning beautifully with Hardwick, Miles, Impey and Burton playing attacking roles so perhaps he stays and plays the intercept role.

For mine Whitecross our for Morrison with Harry tagging the Bombers best runner off half back. Only other change would be Big Boy in if available.

O’Rourke was solid as was Worps and having both those guys frees up Shiels and Jaeger to support Tommy.

Lots of players in form so great chance to end the Scum’s year and get one step closer to finals.
