Prelims - Road to the Grandy
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Tue, 2018-09-18 09:26
Righto. After being measured in my assessment of West Coast’s premiership credentials all season and when you’re one win away from the big dance it’s time to just pin the ears back and dare to dream.
Melbourne are riding a tsunami of momentum at the moment and we’ve seen in the past two seasons that modern teams can ride it all the way but coming over here is a huge stumbling block for them. They stitched us up in round 22 without Kennedy and with Darling getting KO’d in the first 10 mins and this time round will be a whole new beast and I feel we will have too much firepower up forward but we’re going to need Lycett to negate the clean ball to the Dees mids and hit our targets through the corridor because Melbourne kill you on the rebound.
Had to have a chuckle at the flog Melbourne media doing what they do best and that’s act like a bunch of flogs. Neil Mitchell should be happy because if 2000 Dees supporters turn up to Optus Stadium that’d still be 1500 more than they normally get a home game.
Tigers v Pie… what more could you ask for as a footy fan! Both teams are in excellent form and I feel that Tigers have the edge with Collingwood not really setting the scoreboard alight this finals series but you only need to outscore your opposition. I’m tipping Richmond by 20 points and I hope they both smash the feck out of each other!

Land based boon hovered over Broome all fucking game, was a great night to watch on telly outside just had to listen to the constant rumbling of it. Airport got a not so curteous email from me to pass on to them and no doubt a few others as well. Don't mind the airport in the middle of town the planes you hardly hear but the choppers are bullshit.

Yeah rightyo Bill i didn't realise you were a northerner, i should've picked up your accent and noticed the straw you are chewing on....
Those big choppers make some noise, something i certainly dont miss especially out of Broome as most of the flights are around the 2 hour mark....

Let's hope there's no sea breeze and a 1 point result. Draw with extra time would be even better.

I see where Mason Cox's parents got return tickets from Dallas to Melbourne for cheaper than a return ticket from Melbourne to Perth. And the Eagles faithful will need to pay more than a premium to do the same next week. I don't mind saying that that's farken disgraceful.

Lol mouth from the south
Lol mouth from the south Frost you wanker.....
I'm here, there was just no way i could bare the group masterbating that would have ben going on on here....
Now a couple of things....
I initially suggested neither team that had the 2 x bye would make the big dance however after watching Melbourne 3 x this finals series i'll say it here and now they WILL NOT MAKE THE 8 next year!!
Perhaps Hogan will assisit in some fwd line structure but at the moment its a rabble!!
Big busting burley bashing midfielders winning contested ball alone wont win you games, the Hawks through the golden era were never the best team at the contested ball but they won it and won it back when it mattered...
Also.... Max Gawn goes down they are fucked....
Reasonably solid defence ( except Jordan Lewis you are still a crab, the only period Lewis played well for the Hawks was when Hodge was ruled out with a long term injury and he was captain and had extra responsibility )...
A very very good win by the Eagles, they played their best game when it was most needed, they'll be fresh next week however 2 x byes plus a training drill might not bode so well coming intoin a hard fought GF....
Sets up for a great game!!
Now anyway i'll let you fellas continue the Bukake.....
