Test of how far we've come?

[Bartram_Class]

60 days on from the 104 point thrashing we received in Round 1, which Melbourne side will turn up on Sunday?

There is enough incentive with the Neitz retirement to go out there and give it a red hot go, even if we can match them for a half it will be enough to take some confidence into a more winnable game next week.

I'm looking forward to see how we fare, I think we'll surprise a few this weekend with how close we get.

I may be alone in thinking this but...

Line in the sand time lads. Get stuck into them big time. Don't let them shit on you, we should never under any circumstances let ourselves become someone else's bitch

Our starting 22 doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I don't think it will be as bad as Round One but the Hawks have the firepower to completely blow us away if we drop our heads.

No doubt it will be a very good test to see where we are at.

Massive test. Hawthorn are a classy act no doubt but if we can draw upon a bit of the old Neita spirit we shouldn't be pumped.

 

[Klyntonius]

To be honest, I reckon we had a pretty decent go last weekend and got done by 13 goals. Hawthorn are a better side than Adelaide and unfortunately, for all our efforts we turn the ball over too much and have mid-quarter snoozes that the opposition take advantage of and boot a quick 5 before we wake up. We'll be more competitive than last time but with Williams and Croad playing for them this week, I still think it'll be 12 goals (not our way).

Agree.

Put a bit of mongrel into them.

Will be worth watching just to watch Buddy.

You have to appreciate that talent even when it is tearing your side a new one.

Is the fact he was a big Melbourne fan any consolation?

For a side with a small fanbase, we do fairly well producing decent talents, that Judas bloke rings a bell.

Really? A Melbourne fan living in WA?

I'd laugh if all of our defenders made a circle around Franklin. Surely it'd be worth a shot.

Used to have the Ox's Number 5 on the back of his jumper.

See if we can get him a pass to sit up in the commentary box with Ox during the game.

Maybe Buddy can help him out.

Moloney used to have Jakovich's number on his jersey. Legendary.

Four quarter effort boys

If they start playing "Let's See How Far We've Come" before the match I'll walk out.

Agreed. I don't want us to be associated with matchbox 20

Super, any chance of a reoccurring faceoff spiel this week? start it in our forum and i'll invite one of the more intelligent hawthorn posters to give their review

Soft.

Suck it up and sit through it for Neita, Merc.

 

[pezz]

As long as the game is not over by quarter time ill be happy. Neita should of played one last game and just ran on and taken out buddy, mitchell, sewell and roughy in that order and then retire on the spot.

With headphones in and something better on. Done!

Maybe some R-E-S-P-E-C-T from Aretha Franklin?
