Motivation

If we need any extra motivation for tonight, it should be that in our golden period which I believe started in Round 7 last year when we thrashed Richmond, the only team we are yet to beat is Hawthorn, it would be great to have a clean sweep.

Tonight is Blakey's 50th game, and I read that in his previous 49 games, he's played in wins over every other side except Hawthorn. Selwood would be in the same boat as well.

But I agree. Last year we seemed to make a point of thumping those teams who beat us earlier in the season.

Bulldogs - lost by 20 points in round 1...beat them by 75 points in the rematch.
Kangaroos - lost by 16 points in round 5...beat them by 5 goals in the rematch, and 102 points in the finals
Port Adelaide - lost by 5 points in round 21...beat them by 119 points in the grand final.
Hawthorn - lost by four points in round 4....what will happen tonight?
