Game Day Brisbane v Hawthorn, 7.25pm

[LRobbo]

And how is your kicking now?

Connors also improved his tank due to chasing down all my errant kicks

 

[Gralin]

I'm predicting no change

Only thing I'll get right all weekend so I'm going to bask in it

 

[KOLOKOTRONIS]

Our senior players need to lead by example tonight. Cannot afford any quiet performances from anyone. Attack on the ball and hard tackles requires from the outset. Similar to last week.

Desperation and discipline will win this for us.

Huge task for us

Big game in context of the season , with Smith/ Scully and Hendo we have a lot more run than what we had last year when they ran the legs off of us.

Think we can be very competitive tonight , they are off a short break back from the the longest trip in the game after a tough loss, the Hodge / Fagan factor is negligible 12 months on, our boys are hungry to win two in a row.. Any takers? ...lol..

Go Hawks !!

I'm not sure the Hodge/Fagan factor is negligible now but I hope you're right and I'm wrong!

 

[StillAtLarge]

Shiels has been in amazing form since his return from that hamstring injury. He has a very strong record against the lions too so I'm expecting another big game from him.
Hoping to see the chad cut loose also, he was impressive last week

Ok I've got over my Grant Birchall anger. And I'm angry as I'm sick of excuses by everybody about a bloke that should walk into our team of the century. But I vented Thursday night a lot about it, so I'll leave it there and walk away... unless someone tries to deliberately poke the bear. But I'll assume they won't and I won't react.

Anyway, tonight I reckon we're half a chance... to be honest with the new game plan shoud be 3/4 a chance, Definitely on the NM/Freo games perhaps not so much the GWS game. We've been horrid lately since Hodge left against BL... ions... but I reckon Clarko's gone back to the future enough to say even Hodge may not remember so it will be interesting tonight.We are definitely playing a different game to the Tigers modern game that everyone is copying and I don't mind it to be honest it's about holding the footy reminds me of the threepeat somewhat.... you just need the guys who can do it.... and we are slowly recruiting them. (NB: there will always be a few role players that are not expected to do it)

 

[Franko Armani]

Wingard break out game?

Going to be really wet

 

[MistyAvalon]

lots of Hawks goals.....

 

[grumbleguts]

Haha Jono Brown just confused Paul Roos with Ross Lyon,

 

[4THAWN]

Connor has made a point to improve his foot disposal. Clarko told him he needed to badly. Has spent hours on it over the summer. Ive spent plenty of time kicking it with him

good to hear, what about Conor Nash?

 

[Mitchell54]

Let’s hope we play boring footy today!

Your Birchall posts were so unbalanced that I thought they were a troll. You were serious?

[Off The Couch]

A win would be icing - starting to come together as a team. Want Gunners to stay forward and For Mitch to smash those packs when he gets the chance. Looking forward to the continued aggression from pitto and hopefully those little hands can clunk some marks

Brisbane are playing good football so they are going to have to be on right from the start - a bonus could be a tough game last week, long flight and short week

 

[LRobbo]

good to hear, what about Conor Nash?

Just needs to go back to BH and work on a few things. Gotta find a way to influence the game more

 

[BigMick1]

I'm not sure the Hodge/Fagan factor is negligible now but I hope you're right and I'm wrong!

Let's hope Bumpswithagrin !!

 

[Pessimistic]

Quietly wishing the lions are drinking as much bathwater as their media admirers. Continually talking about lion sin finals.

Not if the lose tonight ol mates

 

[Off The Couch]

Roos and Brown

[Leather Poisoning]

I'm already sick of Paul Roos.

 

[Off The Couch]

Feeling blah
I’m just not up for a flogging
Give me a win please hawks

 

[Mitchell54]

Impey starting forward

 

[SA HAWK]

Chaddles

 

[Leather Poisoning]

WINNNNNGGGAASSSZZZZZZ!

Oh yeah
Godo start boys.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Impey to chad, go port

 

[grumbleguts]

Pittonets taps have been gold so far.
