Can we have a thread about other results...
....that impact us moving forward?
First off, hopefully the Hawks break the Kennet curse tonight.
They SHOULD win, but that is what hasn't sat comfortably with them in the past.
I reckon Hodge being the captain will be the difference, and he will lead by example....and not go missing when it counts.

Unfortunately the umpires have other ideas. Can't they persecute the hawks on the day when we play them.

The one night I want the Hawks to win they s*** them selves. I just hope we can lift like that for the Pies. I can't remember a year without a worthy Gfinal winner at this stage.stevie wrote:Cats are smashing the Dawks. Good to see Mitchell and ravioli go missing when it gets hot

It's a Hawks conspiracy to keep us out due to their immense fear. They are faking or should be out in the first week of the finals.

The real issue if the Cats win is if the Hawks drop out of
The top 2. Can't have Sydney and Adelaide prime premiership position.

Re: Can we have a thread about other results...
The Cats look hot right now, but if the Hawks turn this around, it could break the Cats spirit, à la the painful memory of Hawks comeback against us in Rd 12, 1999.
I think that moment was THE breaking point for us and marked the transition point between our brief success in 1996-1998 and the bottomless failure of 1999-2002, was it not? The same could be up for the Cats if they drop this. It would certainly suit us (for our finals chances this year) better if they did, however much more I'd prefer the Cats to win than the Hawks personally.

Re: Can we have a thread about other results...
I doubt VERY much the Cats would fall from grace if they lose as we did after that Hawks loss in 1999.
They are far too good a side for that.
Having said that.... Go Hawkers !!!

Re: Can we have a thread about other results...
Are they so good? Got a few retirees coming too in the next few years, and many of those players may have lost their hunger.
Were we so bad? Or just badly coached?
I guess you're right, just asking. We'll see.

I'm not a bastard but I hope they both lose and get plenty of injuries especially Chapstick and Squirrel Ravioli. Well maybe I am.

Geelong were always going to make the eight. Bad for us as it gives the Cats über confidence.Austinnn wrote:But that result is awful for us. Oh well. Just have to keep winning.
Hawkins still has a crap hair cut. Nothing changes that.
I friggin hate the Hawks now for losing that game. Silly fools.

We were never going to displace the Cats. It was only ever going to be the Dons. Great game of footy. The last play showed the value of precise kicking.gringo wrote:very bad result for the old sainters though. Come on the Crows and anyone else that meets the Dons

Cyril tackles, you knew he was going ping someone. Under a minute, wtf!!!! You win a free smack on the fifty meter line...why play on????
No poise from Hawks. Those walls of their clubrooms might need some work after tonight

Re: Can we have a thread about other results...
Well We now need to beat Collingwood and Hawthorn and Carlton to get 8th unless Essendon falls completely but I doubt that given they will get players back soon (against North, good)
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

It never should have come to this but a loss tomorrow means season officially over. Stuff relying on others to lose. We now have no chance of making the right unless we win EVERY game for the rest of the year.
