This may be unreasonable, but I don't want a measured game. I would love the Swans to unleash the beast. The message needs to be to the Hawks - that was an abberation; it won't happen again.
    Agree. I hope the team are still hurting as much as I am. This is not just another game - this has to be revenge or at least an attempt for complete domination, as they did to us last time we played them.

      I have a good feeling about this game, Hawthorn are short on a few of there stars. While both are yet too truly fire I think this might be the game that gets us fired up

        I'm not sure it was sarcasm, but sarcasm or not, it was still a good post. Blaming poor spelling on an iPhone is just lazy. Getting angry about it is just silly.

        Given the results of the first 7 rounds, this game could be won by anyone! This season is excitingly even ... but a tipsters nightmare!

          I just read it as you jumping on an opportunity to kick Barry because you don't like him, and I thought that was pretty childish. If that was not the case, I do apologise. [emoji120]

            Regardless of the GF of last year, there are only two possibilities for the outcome of this game:
            - if the players turn up like they did against Port, we will probably win (providing our attack is more efficient with their kicking).
            - if the players turn up like they did against Freo, we will probably loose (poor decisions in defence by Shaw, Grundy and Rampe are becoming a liability)

            Overall, we need to remember that our attack is probably the worst of all top 8 sides in ability to score and our defence is getting worse and we'll have to improve either of them to outscore the Hawks. The weather factor is not taken into account for above scenarios.

                Android. An* I wasnt angry, I was dumbfounded in disbelief that in this day and age, spelling flames still happen. Is it 2004 still ?



                Brisbane beat Port. I dont think Port are the yardstick they used to be. Makes next week interesting.

                    I think the problem with Port might be that they stick to one game plan and when that doesn't work they don't have an alternative. Even the coach admitted that they have a plan to which the players must stick to it, but he never explained what would happen if that plan doesn't work. Do they have plan B? I still think that they played well against us, they just couldn't adapt to our pressure.

                      It's just another game really and you can't get a GF loss back but geez I hope we smash those smug scumbags.

                        Who is tough guy Rhyce going to take on this week? Jack Watts and Darcy Lang his last two. He really goes after the seasoned hard-nuts.

                              Surprisingly Goode' knee seems ok so far. Don't think he has missed any training? He needs to have a big game in this huge test at the MCG. I'm nervous about flying down for this one.
