Hudghton always does a good job on him as well.

It is actually possible for Buddy to be well held though. Doesn't happen often admittedly, but it does from time to time. Bock smashed him in one of their meetings this year (was well beaten the other time), and I think Harley could do it too.

Was pwned by Hudghton last week. Spoiled it every time it went up to a one on one.

Franklin was injured though.

They need someone to do the job on Roughead as well. If they're too Buddy-central and basically double him then he could get away.

And Williams is coming off a 5 goal haul as well. So pumped for this match.

Plonked $500 on Geelong @ $1.45

My biggest outlay ever.

Good odds if you ask me.

Scarlett will take Buddy while he's close to goal, Mackie if he ventures up a bit.
Harley will take Campbell Brown if forward.
Taylor will take Roughead, did a great job on him last time.
Hunt will take Williams.

Wojak a bit stiff to miss out, he'd be fantastic for breaking the lines and getting the ball in quickly. Not at all confident; last week and even against St Kilda, we just played patches - sort of like what we were before Collingwood belted us.

EDIT: I think Chapman is definitely worth the risk. I think that our small forwards are where we could really hurt the Hawks; don't know if they can cover Chapman, Stokes, Kelly/Ablett (who tend to rotate through), whilst Varcoe will hopefully put them under the sort of pressure that saw them turn the ball over quite a bit in defence last time we met.

You going to the parade tomorrow Jack?

 

[pasag]

The parade was just incredible, so many people, must have been close to 500,000 there. Was at the start at Flinders and then headed down to Old Treasury for the presentation, weather was fantastic also, such a massive buzz around the place.

 

[Johnners]

Worst thing about tomorrow, Ch7 have the coverage. Watch them royally screw it up

That is epic!

I've been meaning to put $200 on the Cats but something keeps telling me not to.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Didn't go to the parade, had to work. Sister did though.

Going along tomorrow though; got a ticket to a Geelong FC brunch so might have a couple of drinks to calm the nerves there.

Really concerned about tomorrow. Reckon we've been playing a bit like we were leading up to the Collingwood game. Hawthorn 40+.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Hawthorn 40+.

If you really think that then get some $$$ on it. At least make yourself a kitty from your pain.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yeah no way Hawks by +40. Three ways this'll go - Hawks edge it, Cats edge it or Cats flog them.

Leaning towards Geelong mauling them.

 

[Craig]

So does everyone in Melbourne put in their Annual Leave slips for this week or they all ring in claiming they are "sick"?

Anyway go Hawthorn.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Better than last year's final so far. At least this is a contest.

 

[duffer]

Insanely good second quarter. Loving this match, loving this weather too.

 

[Craig]

30 points up, maybe Jack knew something we didn't

 

[Matteh]

Better than last year's final so far. At least this is a contest.

Not looking so the last 5-10 mins.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

The umpiring has been ****ing abysmal. Would be livid if I was a Hawker (which I am today).
