Starting to get a bit twitchy at work waiting to head to the game tonight, could be a banana peel type game where we burp up on ourselves but if the boys are fair dinkum as we suspect them to be they should win by 5+ goals

My son woke up this morning. First thing he says "I hate those pricks dad"

Good boy. "Let the hate run through you"

 

[Delecate Des]

Meh, injector filth.

HAWKS BY PLENTY!!!

 

[cogs2hawks]

The ferals are always decent at the start of the season and match up well against us, so definitely a danger game. As much as I'd love tearing them to shreds I just wanna see us get it done, and I'm confident that we will. We can worry about percentage next week

Shame we never play these junkies later on in the season when the PEDs wear off.

Hawks by 11

 

[DogDaySonny]

Hawks by 45 points [emoji4]

No chance of being complacent after last nights game. Not that I thought we would as I see us as a reliable and consistent team these days.

Also we haven’t lost at the MCG since April last year. The Swans game just before we started our good form run against the Dogs the following week.

 

[MinerBoy]

Of all the please win H&A games, this is the please winniest.

 

[SA HAWK]

Sick of losing to this mob

 

[CHUBBSS]

Nash to go to another level in his 100th!

Get a sense his building a big presence in the locker room

 

[VandoHawk]

Essendon always start the season strong before the wheels come off. Expecting them to hit us very hard early.

I think we're a good enough side that if the game is on our terms we blow them away. However, if our pressure is lacking, they can cause serious damage.

Hawks by 30 after an early arm wrestle.

Nervous about this game.

Thought our forward line could have been better, so it's a good sign to win with so many forwards in average form.

Is our backline oversized with Frosty in the side with our new inclusions of Battle and Barrass?

I trust in Sammy.

Go hawks!!

They're rolling with Caddy, Langford, Draper and Jones fwd. The match ups are there.

How’s the interchange bench :

[23] Josh Weddle ,[3] Jai Newcombe ,[28] Cam Mackenzie ,[20] Finn Maginness ,[8] Sam Frost

Essendon have been irrelevant for 20 years, so I don't harbour the same hatred like I do for Geelong.

As a result, considering Carlton will grab all the headlines anyway, I CAN emotionally deal with a loss tonight.

However... I'm actually bloody confident the boys will get the job done. This is a different Hawthorn. A smarter, tougher and more drilled Hawthorn than we've seen in a long time.

Essendon are bottom of the barrell for me. Hate the cats but have to admire how consistent they are, whereas there's nothing to admire about the scum. Filthy club.

The way they deliberately baited and went our captain in a pack like fashion last year is something I haven’t forgotten …….. we owe these pricks!

I don't think Carlton was being complacent, they were just being Carlton.

Has Scott given up on trying to institute the North niggle there?

Mmm you obviously weren’t a teenager in the ‘80’s

They’d be the club I dislike the most & I can’t see that ever changing

Danger game

1,455 days since Hawthorn last won a game against Essendon.

Just saying.
