3 recent flags but the Cats are nearly as broke as Brisbane. Why?

It's those pesky interstate sides that worry me.

I still think we can both finish 1st and 2nd whilst not having any of those sides drop any games but we'll need 10 goal plus wins in the next fortnight and the Hawks not dropping a game.

That's the only way we'll meet in the GF.

I'm not confident in either of us winning interstate against Sydney, GWS or Adelaide.

Strap yourself in though, 3 telling weeks await.
Bullshit. GWS are a bunch of kids most of whom have never played a final. Guaranteed they'll shit the bed in at least one final this year.

As for the Crows their defense is brittle & midfield doesn't bat deep enough. (Sound familiar?)

I wouldn't start talking about midfields and batting deep, Hawthorn have the least worrisome of all finals sides.

You're playing that grub Langford ffs.

The same Bartel who is a 300 game, 3x premiership, brownlow, norm smith winner who has had a more decorated career than anyone in the poo + wees? :D:thumbsu:
Nope, he has a total of four individual awards, and half of them are flukey or one-game medals.

Two All-Australians and 0 best and fairests says it best, when talking about his actual credentials in the game. Cyril Rioli will probably go past that this year with a spot on the AA half-forward flank.

Most of Bartel's 'awards' are team achievements or milestones symptomatic of being in a good side.

Why BS yourself ...
I'm with you but the interstate clubs (with all due respect) don't have our culture.
Not BSing. The bottom 6 wins flags as much as the top 6. Hawks bottom 6 is quite average.

Yes you have a great culture but you don't have the cattle this year. Plus the champs such as Hodge looks shot. Was beaten convincing by the youngsters a number of times on the weekend.

It might have just been an off day but there were some telling signs. Rucks being one of those.

I do hope you guys do limp into the finals and we have a crack at you. We have you covered comfortably.

C'mon man we really have no chance but you also can't write us off.

The midget will have a gameplan and we'll lift.

This loss hurts but we were lazy more than anything else ...

You're a game clear on top. You can't be totally written off.

I think tired is a better term than lazy. Old blokes and debutants. Not sure they have 6 games in them.

Plus who will come in for Stratton and Frawley. The Box Hill cupboard looks pretty bare.

Stratton really hurts. If he's gone for the season it could mean the end. I'm hoping he'll come back.

The thing that's hurting us most is Hodge.

Something is wrong with him. He's carrying something, he can't run or bend over. We need him fit although finals are still a bit away and he has done this before and destroyed it when it matters.

Yeah but the MRP certainly didn't care about Fyfe's shoulder if he chose to tackle either. :$.
His bump was low and had no intent to hit the head even though morons here are saying he grazed his chin. He didn't touch his head. If that was my most hated player (Goddard) I still would say the same thing.

Because if he tackled it would have been a free kick.

FFS don't people care about the game at all.

His fine is a joke.
Us Cats fans just want to see the Hawks get shafted the way we have by the MRP, in an ideal world Hawkins wouldn't have got a week for his chin tap, or Stevie J wouldn't have got rubbed out for a tummy tap.

If you think either Mitchell or Cyril should have been suspended then you are one of the flogs ruining the game.
i dont think so but you cant have rules for certain clubs and then different ones for others

a week for cyril would have been fair as it would have been 2 weeks for most players, Sicily should have got 2-3
