if we cant beat hawthorn

[swansrule100]

if we dont win next week we will be 5-6 at the break. I know we have shown we play better in the 2nd half of the year and we will probably make the 8. But if we go in at 5-6 i think any chance of a flag this year is gone.

The players will need to cut out the mistakes if we are going to win this game, it wont be easy. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

yep - its a day game

One issue we might face is that Sam Mitchell will undoubtedly have much more of an idea of how to shark Spida's taps than any of our mids.

On the other hand, maybe Spida knows exactly how he does it and can help nullify Mitchell.

Kirk will have to bring his A game for Sammy next week. Good point re Spida.

[Robbo]

It will be a tough game.

The Hawks are genuine contenders this year.

I'm already getting nervous about this match!

One umpire inspired loss and we are gone again......
I love the positivity on this board.

I think this thread is for you...

If we have McLaren again, pencil it as a loss.

umpires can be crap, but i can honestly say i have never seen a game they actually changed the result of. If your good enough you will win.

I started the thread because i believe if we lose to hawthorn we cannot win the premiership. I felt after we lost to the saints we had to win 3/4 minimum. If we lose to the hawks and have the week off we will be 5-6 facing an in form collingwood who are more than capable of beating us

Didn't you watch last night?


I respect your opinion on the rest of the comments, and I know that other thread is another of ROK's sarcastic classics.
I'm also fully prepared to criticise them when they deserve it - the loss to the Scum of the Earth (Norff Melburn Kangaspews) was gutless, pathetic and embarrassing. Still is.

I'm just sick of people getting on here and writing the team when they've proven over and over again that that is something you can NEVER do.

im not saying the umpiring wasnt bad, but it didnt cost us the match, an endless supply of clangers cost us.

I am backing the team this week as i will every week, im too one eyed if anything, but last night should of been a 30-40 point win, then the umps wouldnt matter.

We were 5 wins and 5 losses after round 10 in 2005 and that turned out to be a great year!!! I think last night's crowd reaction an d1 point loss to Essendon is our turnaround.

[NMWBloods]

Yet another wake-up call match...?

Smells more like vs Richmond circa 2004 to me....
