Read it-still doubting! They have a pretty fair list, pretty fair skills, pretty clever coach, pretty fair fitness levels.A few thoughts. Waite has been the biggest disappointment of the last 10 years. Between injury and suspension. He's been a failure. Anyone thinking some vertical stripes will turn around 11 years of being a complete waste of talent is deluded. He's a ******* muppet.
Hawthorn fully fit can't beat geelong fully fit ~ let me te you doubting Thomas's why..
Forward power. See all over the ground we match well. They have a great midfield- but so do we. Selwood, Johnson, Bartel, stokes and motlop are genuine a graders. Add Kelly, cockatoo, Duncan, caddy, Guthrie and blicavs abd it's seriously top 4 and bats deeper than most.
Rucks ~ in the past 2 years we've hurt here. This year a for fit Dawson, Stanley and clark will at least make sure we break even.
Back 6. Ours is better. Lakes good but old and only ever a heartbeat away from a brain fade fucj up. Frawkey = massively overrated. Thank **** we didn't sell the farm for him ~ he's a dud ! Lonergan Taylor rivers and co have those coksmokers covered by the length of the flemington straight.
Hawkins, clark, and co will be better wurh every game together. And will be better than anything they have.
Think we can match them but have to keep up physical and mental intensity for the whole match. We play our usual half a game-goners. Thought they absolutely pummeled Swans in the GF -brutal physical force on every Swans player. Not expecting that intensity next week, but be good to show them we are not scared of that for future reference (unlike Sydney who went to water in the face of it-game over)
