West Coast will overrun them like Port did to the great Brisbane team in 04'.... then comes the decline

I nearly shot him a tweet saying "hey Hodgey, heard you might not be playing, oh well, guess you can sit in the stands and have a few beers, or in the car park. Whatever takes your fancy". Thought, I probably shouldn't.

29 degrees is about perfect for West Coast. If Gunston is selected I will just about have to reconsider my Hawthorn tip.
Eagles to start to get on top in 3rd and win by 25.
Hawks to smash them, unfortunately.

Eagles to be unsettled by Daniel Chick revelations (Great timing Chick, you f*wit)
Hawks to rip them to shreds. I'm off to the shops all day. what a shame...

Surely they won't take any notice of him and just focus purely on the upcoming game?

You would hope so. It's been about 10 years now so most of those players would've retired by now. The timing of the release of his news couldn't have been more exquisitely planned, though, could it? Why now?

Eagles are fresher, physically mature, and have the players to pressure Hawks into error. Can't see them getting overawed- they'll settle pretty quickly and run run run.
Perth-like weather helps a little also.
Eagles by 20. Priddis norm.

Yeah had absolutely nothing to do with the current Eagles side and Simpson is a pretty switched on leader, he won't let it effect them at all.
Chick is obviously in need of a buck and sold his story to the footy version of Womans Day (the HUN)

I still think Hawthorn will win (you can't imagine how much I hope I'm wrong), my reasoning:
- Extra day recovery
- MCG (Home) final
- GF experience
- Matt Stevic
- WCE Travelling
- > percentage crowd
- Sam Mitchell (if he gets > 25 possessions)

I am really loving Simpson's relaxed attitude. He doesn't pretend anything. Tonight on the footy show, he said the MCG was an advantage to the Hawks. But you can see that he doesn't give f*ck about that. He's going to back his team in. Chris Scott always talks about how 'we don't worry too much about the opposition, we just try and implement our game plan', and the Eagle's are actually showing us how it's done.

The Hawks' advantage of playing a dozen games on the MCG each year should not be underestimated. I think you've summed up the rest of their advantages very well... Unfortunately.
think if W Eagle loose its because of stage fright
should watch last years GF and be prepared for rough stuff early on
they have the talent, just not the experience
of course we can not transform ourselves into a West Coast
what we have to do is devise a game plan that we are good at
what is Geelong's style?

Who knows? To me it hasn't really progressed since 2011 which was a counter attacking style based on turning the ball over at half back. I think we've half tried to implement a very unsuccessful forward press since then but apart from that it's pretty haphazard.
Who can apply manic pressure? Who can stand up to it?
I suspect hawthorn will win, but west coast are definitely in with a shout. They have the talent if they can execute on the day.
Hopefully they will learn the lessons of the 2014 gf.

I've left the country and won't watch the GF for the first time in about thirty years because I bloody can't stand the thought of Hawthorn winning.
Umpire Stevic to award a match winning free kick against West Coast for head butting Lake's elbow.
