Finals. Week 1. Hawks v. Bulldogs.

[Donny]

Tonight. MCG. 7.40.

Hawthorn v. Western Bulldogs.

[SLORT]

Doggies are surprisingly good in the wet so I don't think the rain will harm their chances even though they are going in top heavy. They lost by 7 points last time (14 7 to 14 14) on a dry, calm day. That was when Bevo was still ironing out his kinks.

Best for Dogs ~ Bont, English, B.Dale, Treloar, Naughton
Hawks ~ D. Moore, Impey, Sicily, Nash, Meek, Hardwick

Hawks have the gamestyle, Dogs have the stars. Should be a cracker.

Hawks by 4 points.

I mentioned this in the PA Cats forum. so will repeat here. Apparently. brat Ginnivan, this is all over the news, got pinged last night, drinking in a Pub, night before this huge Final. De ja vu what he did to us, night before the GF, then did jack shit in the GF for us. History repeats, i wonder how angry ant Mitchell will cop this now ?? I knew he would cock up eventually with the Dawks. hes a juvenile time bomb, thank God he left us.
