Weather is fine , a few showers early but cleared up and radar looks good so will be good conditions for game. 4 points no injuries but not overly confident , still think they might pip us.
Hope Rohan can get a kick of HB and Towers just shows something ( probably sub ) BOG McVeigh

a couple of sprinkles early this morning, its cloudy but not dark clouds and very little wind perfect for football and will be even better tonight and from all reports the Hawks will be playing in the same conditions.

not overly confident , still think they might pip us.

That's the vibe I'm feeling too.

Gonna be a cold one tonight, predictions of 85k+, looking forward to it, hopefully we pull it off. Go Bloods!

Fox Footy R23 2013 , Geez Biggs was impressive in that first half.

It is why I have been calling all season for Biggs to be in the team as his games near the end of 2013 proved he is easily good enough.

The two best forward lines in the league IMO

Whichever back 6 does a better job of holding their forwards down will set up the win for mine

Sydney by 3 goals

For me the real battle is in the midfield. Whichever midfield gives the best supply to their forward line will win the game.

My sister had the nerve to be born on the 26th July, gonna be out at dinner tonight

I rate the midfields as fairly even
Ours bats deeper, they have an edge in the ruck do I'm expecting to break even there

Damage will be done with how the F50 entries convert on the scoreboard

Spot on

If I hear any negativity...group slap! We will flog these blokes I tell you! Shoenclangers to be pantsed again. Franklin to run riot, and Kennedy to belt them again and Hawks fans to justify him leaving for some reason AGAIN.

This. Our accuracy has to be spot on tonight. None of this 5.15 behinds rubbish.

Have I heard right that a crowd of 85K is tipped? Wow hope the weather holds up, looking very overcast at the moment. At our best we win, simple but they will be ferocious IMO. Cmon bloods!!

Huh? is this an Essendon fan jumping ship because his own mob has beaten Hawthorn twice since 2005? and has not won a final in a decade? Love it

As a neutral if there is one game you would go to...it is this one!

You don't know my story, in short my sister who isn't well (although getting better) is a massive Swans fan.

I think Hannebery is a big loss for us. He has missed quite a few games now but this is the first game where I feel him not being there might be the difference between a win and a loss.

No worries mate, best of luck with your sisters recovery..

No worries, wasn't a shot at you, believe me. She is getting better, has got her major clearance a week and a bit ago. It is why I have taken her to Melbourne with her best friend to watch her Swans. She has never been to the MCG so she is really looking forward to it. She wants to do the walk around and see all the statues soon though (and grr my legs are killing me already)
