Game Day 2018 1st Semi final: Hawthorn v Melbourne, 14 September 2018, 7.50pm @ MCG

[Restricted Free Agent]

It's do or die for Hawthorn, a win sends us to Perth to face the eagles and play at Optus stadium and a loss sends us packing for our holidays. It's also great stakes from Melbourne who after making their first finals series in 12 years and demolishing the cats are now in a prime position to make a big attack on the flag. This game has the makings of a classic.​

Changes:
Hawthorn
In: Schoenmakers, Mirra and Dureya
Out: Stratton (Hamstring), O'Meara (knee) Ceglar (poor form)
Melbourne
Unchanged

Out - Negatively

In - Positivity

This is the type of game that the Hawthorn story is built around THE HARD WAY.

Dig in boys and girls and kick'em home.

We didn't take our chances last week, take 'em tonight and we're in a prelim

There was a game in 1990 when Hawthorn was playing the top of the ladder demons and both Brereton and Dunstall were off the field injured by Quarter time, Dunstall with a fractured skull. Still behind at the start of the last quarter this mighty club,against all odds comfortably beat Melbourne. It is in our DNA to perform well when adversity hits. Have faith.

Just time to dig out some home truths about this team that is currently riding a wave.

They were the team that defied there coach and fitness staff and went running to the AFL players association to have a preseason bootcamp called off due to being too tough the previous year. What happened the previous year? some dick got a little tired and whilst carrying a brick, forgot to zip in his backpack and then when they were told hold their pack above their head, said player dropped his brick on his head and claimed that bootcamp was too hard and it was all somebody else' fault.

Melbourne don't want to do it hard, they don't want to take responsibility, they don't help each other, after all isn't that what team building camps are for?

Danger game.

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Pumped for tonight's game. Every man and his dog has written us off and I love it. Sure they may be right but it is in these very situations that the club has proven the masses wrong time and time again. Can't wait, bring on the demons!

 

[threesixpio]

Backs against the wall. Just how we like it.

C’mon Hawks!

Worps to kick the sealer. O’Rourke Awakens!! buys jumper with 38 on the back the next day.

All is well

Posters admonish O’Rourke Awakens!! for referring to himself in the third person

He shrugs

 

[MrPremiership]

Play like its 1996!

 

[TylerDurden]

As Clarko said, 2 horse race.

Key is a fast start. Blister on the brain.

Let’s go.

No, posters admonish O'Rourke Awakens for getting 38 on his back, causing a season-long injury to Worpel.

This is why you should change your name to Jaegerba System. He's already HAD his ORA induced injury.

 

[Hawk_francais]

Melways maps 44+45 vs 58+59

This time it's personal

 

[threesixpio]

Have to pressure these pretenders. They don’t like it

He he. I like Jaegarba system. But I’m also very fond of Princess Teia

Worpel then gets upgraded to a higher number next year and your filthy you spent $120 on a new jumper with 38 on it

Princess Teia has yet to be injured.

It would be outrageous to change it from the number he won the Norm Smith in. Won’t happen

 

[threesixpio]

Princess Teia has yet to be injured.

Im not convinced that my injury powers are retrospective Grumbles

Jaegar will be back next week to smash up Mitchell’s mob

 

[TylerDurden]

Whispers Hardwick a late out. Please be false.

 

[MrPremiership]

Whispers Hardwick a late out. Please be false.

And Cousins in.

Would make sense as to why they put Doc in

 

[Mr Chuckles]

Our best players tend to make amends the week after they have a bad game, and Breust, Gunston, Burgoyne, Smith and Sicily were all pretty ordinary against the Tiges. Big games from all of those guys would go a hell of a long way to securing victory tonight.

Go Hawks!

Cause effect - effect cause - who's counting.
