Hawks seem to have the Cats measure. Can the Cats stop the Hawks run?
definitely looking forward to this game the most. Hawks will go in favourites but ya just never know what will happen
Hawks by 8 points
All I know is that I'll be having another heart attack.

And a lack of voice for the rest of the weekend.
Still devo that this is a friday game couldnt quite swing my way over for the game, hoping for a saturday night prelim and a grand final ticket!
Looking forward to this game the most as well, these two teams are just a great rivalry, keen to watch another chapter of it!

Hawks will win because Clarko surely hasn't forgotten everything that Leon Cameron taught him while he was there.
I love reading your posts, because every one of them somehow squeezes a positive lol about GWS in them :)
Keep going, always enjoy reading them hehe
As for this game, I am thinking about actually going to the game
Just hoping for a classic
Hawks by 3!
So that's 6 points
Probably leaning towards the Hawks
Hawks by 22
I'm backing the Cats in
Suckling has been ruled out also
Tipping the Hawks just but can really see this going down to the wire. Cats still a big chance.
Hawks in another close one
Hawks because I don't want the Swans to beat them before the GF ;)
Changes between PF 2013 and QF 2014 -
Hawks Out - Franklin, Rioli, Guerra, Bailey, Whitecross
Hawks In - Langford, Spangher, Duryea, Ceglar, Simpkin
Geelong Out - Corey, Christensen, Hunt, Podsiadly, Vardy
Geelong In - McIntosh, Enright, Thurlow, Walker, Horlin-Smith
Hawks by 4 points - Not enough avenues for Geelong to kick a winning score this week.
Will be an absolute thriller.
All ripping games this week, this one no exception. I daresay it'll be the match of the round (as it normally is when these two play).
Not sure who to pick honestly. Might have to flip a coin. Think I'll pick the Hawks.
Thurlow and Simpkin subs
Hawks x 26
felt like forever for this game (was already excited by Tuesday this week) ...
now I am like ... :D
just need to go get some frothys and I will be ... 8)
I think on paper, Hawks by 2-3 goals but for some reason I just get the feeling like the Cats have been building ...
imo, will depend on which team can bring the defensive pressure and stop the other side's outside run ...
Hill, I Smith, etc vs Motlop, Stokes, Christensen, etc
Had a $75 free bet from Sportsbet. Whacked it on Hawthorn to win H2H
Hawthorn for mine to win by 2-3 goals, but they need to curtail Stevie J, Motlop and Selwood.
If those 3 play big games for the cats then they will win.
Also have hedged my bets for 1st goalscorer. $5 @ $7.50 on Rough and $5 @ $8.50 on Hawkins.
Sweating.

Yeah I got one as well
Still deciding how best to use it
Nervous start ya reckon?
Wow finals footy is nice to watch :P
Thanks Jelly first goal scorer :D
Jeez they don't pay Gibson enough. Pretty much only thing keeping them together
hill down the rooms already
Hawks butchering it at half forward.
I'm a lot more confident of beating the cats next week than the hawks, so for once won't be to upset by hawks winning :3
Josh Walker thinks he's Jeremy Howe.

All tied up at Half time, no real surprise with these two clubs. Great final as we all expected.
This match has definitely delivered so far. Very keen for the second half.

Yep!!
Geelong have missed out on some free kicks but jeez, the last couple of decisions (and non decisions) have hurt.

I think Geelong is the last club in the AFL that can complain about not getting free kicks.
Selwood just shrugs every time someone lays a tackel on him and gets a free kick. It's not a pretty part of the game.
Caddy do something
Its disappointing they don't pay free kicks against guys like Hill when they push people in the back to shove them off the ball.
In fact Hawthorn in general getting a free ride there

RACIST ALERT
Want hawks to win but hopefully cats can kick the last few to make it exciting :3
SJ auditioning for Face/Off 2.
(Cough) I think Hawthorn has the psychological edge over Geelong. :-X

Jeff was right! He was 5.5 years early with his call but eventually he was right :P
Well done Hawks.

yep, no run from the Cats and SJ underdone ...
Hawks younger brigade (Hill, Smith, Duryea, etc) definitely on top, Cats oldies (Jelwood, Bartel, Enright) no support ...

Kelly was the one I noticed in particular who just didn't seem up for it.
Bad luck Geelong, absolutely no chance of making prelims now :3
Can't say I blame Malthouse for going off at Steve-o for not asking question. He makes statements and waits for a response. Even as I write this, he asked a question (surprisingly) but then followed it up with opinion/statement. showers me.
Just got back from the game and wow did Hawthorn look good. Too good. :-X
SJ in serious doubt next week, and the rest of the year if they win

Surely not haha
Geelong would still be likely winners, but it'll be much closer than the Port/Tiger vs Freo/Sydney game
