The Hawks will win this by 3 points following a free kick on the siren.

It has been ordained.

Surely not again 1eyedog. Good thing is so far we have a superior percentage compared to them. Last year it was the other way round. We need to maintain it again on Friday night. Haven't said Friday night and our club for a while.

Be interested in the GWS Hawthorn game .
The Saturday night games look average, and there isn't a lot to be enthused about.
Those outs Richmond have to be beating Port, but the reaction if the tiges lose ;)

[EasternWest]

St Kilda touching up the Dees. The camera keeps going to the Melbourne box and there are more sombre faces in there than at JFK'S funeral. I can't find it in me to feel bad for them.

[Remi Moses]

Melbourne clearly having a two wins in a row hangover

Can't play Etihad. I was very confident Saints would win

[1eyedog]

Hawks getting touched up by the reality TV show - good to see. They should be 0-4 anyway.

GWS have some serious talent. I would love Rory Lobb at WB.

Great to watch Hawks getting smacked.

[Remi Moses]

Crisis talks at Hawthorn
Not sure the officiating will get them over the line from here.
Frighteningly good GWS .

Mentioned on another thread that the Hawks are overrated as far as their 2016 team.is concerned - todays result highlights how ordinary their form has actually been.

Doesn't say much for us then

The Giants might look ominous but when it comes to the crunch, grit & heart will overcome their talent.

I hope.

Is top 8 set now? Hard to see any of the other 10 making it.

Still a bit hard to say a side won't get a run on. I think I'd wait a couple of more weeks before trying to lock it in

They don't have that? Even though they are a plastic club, they aren't made up of plastic players.

[Twodogs]

Mostly players with great natural ability who have never done it hard, never had to dig deep or do the hard yards and mostly think life is people turning up telling you how good you are and slapping you on the back. Let's see how they go when the whips are cracking.

So players like Stringer, T.Boyd & Bontempelli?

[1eyedog]

From what I have heard and seen about Bont and Boyd they have excellent work ethics.

They've spent the last few years getting smashed so not sure they're just used to having it come easy.

What, they have great natural ability and strong work ethics.. Never!

Just did a quick ladder predictor... top 7 is set, with Hawthorn at 7th finishing with 16 wins!!!

8th, 9th & 10th to come down to us, Melbourne & St Kilda, with the Dogs finishing 1 game ahead of the Saints & Dees. (Melbourne playing a home game against the Saints at Etihad on the weekend may cost them a finals spot).

[Remi Moses]

The way the season is going 16 wins will get you top 4 at least .
Teams have evened up, and even Brisbane probably should have knocked over Sydney.
Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Freo , Melbourne, Richmond, Stkilda, Gold Coast won't play finals for me

Out of curiosity why are Port better than any of the teams you have listed? I think the 8 is already decided barring some catastrophic injuries to a team.
