AFL Semi Finals
Submitted by chris raff on Fri, 2015-09-18 17:07
Hawks going in as short favourites playing at home on the rebound , I’m thinking they’ll muster enough enthusiasm to get over the line but not overly confident given what they served up last week .
Adelaide travelling again but they are looking hungry and I think the bookies are being generous at $3.65 . I’m thinking it’s going to be a good game , bonus if they smash each other up a bit as well .

One thing going in the Hawks
One thing going in the Hawks favour is that out of the last 14 occasions they have backed up after a loss, they have won and quite comfortably as well 13 times. You'd think they would be stung by last week, it was rather un Hawthorn like, not taking anything away from the Eagles. Could be something special or the end of an era. Carna Hawks.

Threepeat against the odds
Threepeat against the odds going the hard way will be huge for the Hawks Justin .. but it ain't gonna happen lol .
Great looks like we have to put up with Bruce and Lingy could get messy , I don't mind Mathews though ..

While they are still in I shall entertain my delusion thank you very much
Either way, they did what the Handbaggers couldn't do and snare back to back. Whatever happens its been a sweet ride.

Not convinced that will be an issue

The west Australian teams
The west Australian teams are use to tralling across the country every second week. No other teams do it. Hawthorns record against freo at domain isnt outstanding. Dont know why everyone thinks freo fans should be concerned. If sydney or north belt the other, will you be concerned? Or be like me, having confidence in your team's ability to play their game despite what opposition they face?

Possibly it will? Can you control that? No. Can i controll that? No. What i can control is I'll go to the game a cheer as loud as i can, and perhaps offer hodgy a beer or two. What the players can control is the result. Ill leave that to them. Im confident they can do it.

Hawks no idea about travelling across the the country twice in a fortnight. Hawks old bodies will be sore. Hawks dont dominate at domain.... freo will play freos style. Expect an entirely diffetent game.

LOL
What was seen last week was the beginning of the Clarko plan. Play shit give Weegurls confidence and the 2 week break they need plus a home prelim. This will enable the opponent, being WC to be in with a chance and give what OZ wants, a close grandy this year with 2 heavy scoring game styles and seemingly make Hawthorn earn their 3 peat

Hawks are under a illusion , Campo will be back to playing 2nd fiddle next year , all well and good to take the game on offensively for 4 qtrs if you get the jump on your opposition initially but if your on your back foot . You need to equally be able to apply pressure and force errors , the hawks had about a million uncontested marks .

Mmm, Freo haven't exactly
Mmm, Freo haven't exactly been tested themselves lately. Could having a core group of players playing just a single game in a few weeks be an issue? If the Hawks get as much opportunities at goals as the Swans then Freo could be in trouble but they can expect some pretty manic pressure and nowhere near as much space. Low scoring scrag fest perhaps?

No. Pi55ed off with nuff nuffs. The best one was from a shop assistant at a tackle shop today (possibily a site sponsor). His opening line when i walked inwearing a freo shirt was.... "hey you guys getting ready to be flogged by hawthorn...."
I was never intending on spending money today, luckily for him i was just browsing. Otherwise i would have made it known he had just lost a sale.
Nuff nuff.

tonights game was a good win for the roos ,but lets not get carried away they finished 8th for a reason
roos will have 2 back to back travels and a rested eagles at domain on satdy makes me very confident
