And now there are 2.
The proven best sides of the season to square off this Saturday.
Both have some possible injury concerns.
Reckon we'll get another close one.

Blow out on the cards. Hawks limping to the line. Swans by 60+ unfortunately

Agreed.

Although I'm thinking more the 40 point mark.

Im hoping for a Hawthorn win, but if the Swans get the flag, Im lookng forward to a renewed focus from Eddie about the COLA.

Sydney to win - Buddy to win the quad (coleman, brownlow, flag, norm smith)

I'll think about this game later in the week....

Hoping for Hawthorn, but logic tells me it's Sydney. Buddy to kick 2.7 and Mitchell to win the Norm Smith.

It really comes down to which smug b****** we can tolerate for 6 months, either daysie or wub12.

I reckon Gibson and Lake will keep Franklin and Tippett to a reasonable score. On the other end, Roughy and Gunston will get similar treatment from Grundy and Richards. The difference (as always) is in the midfield and Sydneys supply will be that much more than Hawthorns that the weight of entries into their 50 will allow them to win it alone.

Swans by 37

Not really, it's a case of buying a premiership or earning one.

That's the exact reason I hope Hawthorn win rather than think Sydney will

Like Norwood yesterday earnt it. Your reply would have meant something coming from anyone but a Crows or Port person.

I was under the impression Hawthorn paid their players as well. Bugger me.

i do find it amusing how people ay we bought our flags... No bitching back in 2012 when we had the exact same budget...
No top 10 draft picks in the past decade, and only got two key players (big name) in that time. We've recycled other clubs slops and turned them into good footballers. Richards, Mcglynn and Kennedy.
Blooded some really good talent...

Alastair Lynch wrote a good article about it.

Oh, to be the subject of "bitching".....my heart bleeds for you.

Why we're bitching ( at the risk of starting 100+ pages of whingeing ) at the fact you won in 2012, poached Tippett and then poached Franklin.

Is that so hard to understand?

Hawks good enough to hold off Port Powers withering finish
Thats something Fraudmantle did not do

Not sure any side in Australia would have been capable of holding off the Power like Hawthorn did
If you dont believe me , just ask Booney

SS 11 points
Franklin playing for SS and not HW , might just be the difference
