Review 2014 VFL Grand Final - Footscray Bulldogs v Box Hill Hawks, 21 September 2014, 2.15pm @ Etihad Stadi

[Dixie Flatline]

After a cracking preliminary final win over Williamstown, the Halls have earned the right to defend the premiership but must beat Footscray for the privilege of being the best team in 2014. Good luck Hawks!

 

[PenAndPaper]

Definitely a battle of the midfields this one. Whichever team gives first use to their forwards will win

Good luck, Halls!!

Trying to type a post on a Nexus can be annoying when I don't double-check every single word. The predictive text feature is useful but can sometimes lead to odd results.

 

[Pessimistic]

Dya think we could persuade footscray to wear cats jumpers ? Might fire up again for that

Repeat of the 1961 VFL final (kinda, sorta)

Seats seem to be $20 per adult sit anywhere. Does anyone know if being a Hawks member gets you any discounts/free entry?

Dogs have a 25 page thread about this game.

Strange really...

Talking about the last Premiership in 1954?

Gee that's getting old now....anyway, both teams have been playing well all season and it should be a good game....

May the best team win (hopefully the team wearing RW&B)

No discounts but you get to sit on Level 2 if you have never sat with the silver tails.

Memories. Still one of my favourite games.

As has been mentioned the thread is for the full VFL finals series. When you support a club which has 1 piece of silverware (NAB cup 2010) since 1954, and with the year we've had, it's not hard to realise why we would relish this.

Besides, we're going for a VFL/VFA 3 peat ('23-'24-'14). Brisbane Lions-esque.

OBrien? Wasn't he gone for the season with his hammy?

OBrien? Wasn't he gone for the season with his hammy?

That's what I thought too.

However saw his twin brother at Port Hawks v Willy last Sunday and he looked fine running up and down stairs - could not believe my eyes till I realised it was his twin

 

[parsons nose]

OBrien? Wasn't he gone for the season with his hammy?

Yes, we were led to believe that judging by the hawthorn webpage.

 

[its game on]

Gotta feel for Wanganeen and Kennedy.

 

[Goldhawk]

Gee what a strong Hawks side, should be able to beat the Dogs

 

[houdinihuddo]

When you look at the quality of the players on the extended bench there are going to be some very unlucky players. Further consider the likes of Cust, Gordon, Lawlor, O'Donnell and Wood have missed out and you know we have a strong side. However all that will mean nothing if we don't have 23 players who are prepared to pay the price and are disciplined in the GF.

What happened to Wang?

 

[dlindsay]

OBrien? Wasn't he gone for the season with his hammy?

He did a test alongside Cyril during the week so obviously got up, great news for the young fella.

 

[randall boner]

What happened to Wang?

Rolled ankle last week

 

[RustyHawk]

O'Brien trained today with the main group and looked fine.

That is a very strong team!

Very sorry as well for Wanga and Kennedy, both deserve to be out there.
