This is a very strange way to not give your opinion.
I'll refrain from calling you names on this occasion, unlike you I have a degree of restraint.

I also don't think his disposal under pressure is bad either - he's often one to get the ball out from extreme pressure. His disposal in space is generally good. I actually think his problem is more his disposal when he's almost under pressure. He dishes off to someone in no better (or worse) position when really he had an extra second he could of used or just taken it on himself. And I reckon that is confidence related as much as anything and wouldn't be surprised if the message from Bevo to Jong will be take them on and don't worry about errors or getting caught (the opposite of what some on hear suggest).

I agree we shouldn't be making excuses, and we aren't. But I'm surprised at the amount of excuses that the media and opposition fans are making before the game has even started.

Clarko is up for it, singing our praises for most of his press conference. And so he should given we've won 3 flags in....oh wait, that's not us.
Seriously don't like all this hype about us. We are not perfect nor the finished product. Even if we lose narrowly you would have to be happy as we are going to be better than them soon enough. Hopefully the players don't read the press

I'm ecstatic about all the positive press and hype, far better than the alternative. Truth is if we ever play a grand final there is going to be huge hype about us, so at least at worst at the moment we are getting used to it. At worst it gives us a chance to learn.

Yes, your right on that, but we have too many better mids so he will never get that role.

I think that shows he's got a lot of respect for bevo and your quality side, he an angry little prick so take it as a compliment, to me it also says we will be on point and expect a hard aggressive hawthorn on Sunday.

No doubt, you can tell he is up for it, as I'm sure Bevo will be. Will be an intriguing coaching battle for sure.
Reading ours and Hawks board, I am not sure their supporters have seen us play much more than highlights packages.
Their only hope is to make this game a biff fest and congest the life out of it.
Tigers beat Hawks by keeping the ball and pressuring them. Port beat Hawks by speed and pressure. They will see both on Sunday.
Can we handle the physical off the ball stuff, will be the biggest question.

Even a draw will answer questions, that we can match it with the best.Unless it is a draw...
Big game for both sides.
Hawks have a chance to beat the team receiving the most hype this season, the round after easily accounting for the team they belted in the ground final. This is a chance for them just to really remind everyone what they're capable of, and to get the confidence to really high levels. We're the talk of the town at the moment, and they probably see themselves as the ones that have to give us a 'reality check'. I'd expect them to really come out firing.
Similarly for us, beating the Hawks, even if they're missing a few important guys, would be huuuuuuge for our confidence. It'd probably give the team extra motivation to go out there and make this season a special one. Self-belief is important, and the winner of this game will walk away with a lot of it. Of course there's a difference between playing them at etihad in round 3 without Hodge/Roughie etc and playing a full strength Hawthorn at the MCG in a final...But you worry about that when the time comes. Beating Hawthorn is an accomplishment regardless of if they're missing guys.
One thing's for sure, it'll be tougher than either of our other matches. Interesting to see how the team responds to a really tough, aggressive and well drilled outfit.
