In tomorrow’s match.
Over the years the Hawks and Dees have forged a strong rivalry, highlighted obviously by the Merger vote, the finals tussles in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s but even earlier still highlights such as Hassa Mann’s goal from the Glenferrie pocket that sank Hawthorn from 1st to 5th and kept the Demons quest for a 12th premiership alive in 1964 – which as the history books clearly state, the Demons 12th (and to date) last premiership year.
The evenness between the 2 sides is IMO epitomized by the head to head win-loss ratio between the 2 sides – 74-72 in favor of Melbourne, but with both sides have long stretches of winninng streaks that have empitomized the clubs relative periods of success over the years.
Here is to an entertaining free flowing game of football worthy of marquee status between 2 rivals with a healthy respect for each other
