To quote Ken Hinkley before the elimination final last year "It's a brutal day,a good day, a exciting day, but a day where we win."

Great article from Gerard Whateley.

Whatever you may think of our chances - whether you expect us to be annihilated or pull off a famous victory - one thing is certain. The players will give everything they've got tonight, and we should do the same.

Win or lose, let's give these ****s a fight they will never forget.

I posted in REH's thread but just wondering what time the march is happening?

We can do this, exploit their weekness in the ruck and run hard all night, time for Chad, Hammer and Boak to have match winning games.

"NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER"!

 

[Peck]

I want us to win, but revenge will come in September.

Today is strictly business.

 

[Adam Marrett23]

Oh I'm back after my drunken, stupidest posts of 2015, but moving onto this week. Here in Adelaide and very excited about tonight. Bring it on no Robbie Gray, no Wines couldn't care less about who isn't there. Tonight is about the 22 who are out there. Hawthorn are a great side but so are we, tonight we step up and have a special win.

 

[Wind Power]

Why why why? Why does Qantas deliberately increase my pre game nerves by being late every time I fly out for a game.

Now while I'm sitting here waiting I'm looking forward to our boys going out and giving 100%. Whilst I'm not entirely confident of coming away with the points this game. It gives opportunity for some of our lesser lights to experience something like a final atmosphere.
Seeing Lobbe and Ryder in the same team is the most exciting thing for me apart from a win.
Win or loose I think we will take positives out of the game but man I really hope for a win.

C'mon Port!

I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.

Fortunately I'm wearing my new lucky gameday jocks. (Not the unlucky teal ones that cost us v freo and swans).

 

[Jello_B]

Wingard and Boak need to step up today.

After you have taken them off.

Apparently the Hawks are fuming.. some very personal things were said post game last year. Expect it to be on from the get go.

 

[Dalfino]

Come on boys, get the job done on my birthday Wingard to replace Gray in the middle and have an absolute blinder and Pittard with 30+ possessions.

Port by 16.

How they all lined up to suck off Stevic before the game?

The "unsociable Hawks" thriving on the the seige mentality. Get *****d you dickheads. Go squeal on someone at the tribunal.

They're very sensitive for such a 'unsociable' team.

Facebook probably

Does this stem from Kern going off at a Hawks official (asst coach?) offering commiserations after he game last year? Was mentioned in the Whately article. Kern called later to apologise.

LOL at the Hawks playing this card though. As if winning wasn't motivation enough.

Happy birthday!

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

I'm very confident. We'll win by 30. We're a much better team than them.
