All this nastiness from Hawk supporters.
Classic examples of fear being masked by confident arrogance.
The Hawks should win by 4 goals on their home turf as they are the reigning premiers & are sitting top 3 despite battling injuries to many players throughout the year & despite having to fight against the system that has done little to make their path easier than that of the Swans.
This has developed a tough exterior which will hold the Hawks in good stead to go on & win the 2014 p'ship.
WHAAAAAT A TEEEEAM!
Just a few Hawk posters that need to get over themselves!
Non stop whinging. WTF has happened to Hawthorn supporters?

It should be a cracker, bit far out to say it is a GF preview. 4 weeks ago Port were going to run rampant into the premiership. This 4 weeks is Sydneys turn to be favorite. Something will happen to make someone else favorite leading into the finals. It will be a good game and could go either way but I think we will get it by about 15 points.

I hope so...
It just might be the reverse of the last game at our home ground.
I'm just looking forward to going & watching the Swans play in front of perhaps our biggest home & away crowd at the MCG for years.

I hope it's a cracker! Really looking forward to the theatre, with us needing to shut down Buddy. If we can restrict him to 2 goals or less, I think that's a good effort.

Anyhow, have a Winfield 25.

Let's try to be a little objective.
Spangher's footballing ability is pretty self evident and his 'cult status' has bugger all to do with it.
He has had 7 years with 3 teams and failed to crack a permanent spot. Whatever the reason or reasons for that the point still stands. i.e A player that plays on average about 6 games a year is hardly going to have any meaningful impact on the result of a match in which Buddy, Mitchell, Hodge, Kennedy, Parker, Burgoyne are involved. Further to the point he is going to be playing on a pretty good opponent (whoever that may be) who is in reasonable form ( as most Swans players are).
If he averages 6 games per year, it is not beyond the realms of reality that he has only played one good game each year.
In the last 3 years he has played almost 30 reserves games amongst his AFL call-ups for both Hawks & Swans.
Further evidencing his limited footballing ability ( as opposed to being injury cursed).
No surprise that he has played 8 games this year when the Hawks have been hammered by injuries.
Hope he has a cracker of a game on Saturday, Hawks are going to need it!

Pretty sure the biggest Vic attendance was around 66k in 96. Could definitely push that id say.

Pretty sure we got 66 last year vs Collingwood at MCG.
Your forgetting the fact we had 3 of our starting mids not playing, which is why you gained the ascendancy in there to begin with so you could have your 30 shots on goal.
Yeah forgot that. It was 65 something you're right.

I don't blame you, 30k left in the last quarter
howd that work out for ya?
It is difficult to pick against the Swans, the game means more than a lot of scribes think it does, Freo have left the door ajar for Hawthorn to take 2nd spot and avoid an interstate first final. There is great danger this year of playing both preliminary finals out of Victoria and the Hawks will be well aware of this, the Swans will want to assert their authority down here in Melbourne and gain a psychological advantage and also keep top spot. It's a big game and if the Swans win by 10 goals it will be a huge blow to Hawthorn. I suspect they will just get over the line by about 2 goals....

If we get past the Swans this weekend then 1st is ours to lose! It could very well end up Hawthorn and Geelong top 2 which is deserving.

Whatever mate.
How about you do something novel, like read the whole thread and take these posts in context?
A GF defeat is something pretty new to them I guess and they can't handle it even though they won it last year. Oh and I guess buddy leaving hasn't helped either. They will never stop whinging or being arrogant, that's them and that's why beating them is the sweetest thing.

Too right. When has a interstate side ever deserved the premiership? Lions side all had retention allowance. Asterisk. Swans had COLA. Asterisk. West Coast had drugs & unfair zone access. Asterisk. Adelaide got a dodgy finals system to carry them through. Asterisk.
If it wasn't the for the AFL rigging the game we'd have no undeserved premiers and the premiers would all come from Victoria. Like it deservedly should be.
We all love our clubs. We are all posting on here about our upcoming game.
There are just too many aggressive posts going over the same old ground.
