Just need the pies now to roll the hawks and think that's pretty much a 50/50 game, market is way wrong in my opinion there's very little between the two sides for mine. Curb Mitchell's influence and Birchall and they'll go a long way towards winning the game, Mitchell's been on fire.

Melb 2.2 (14 point) to Opposition 24.14 (158 points)

0.1 point vs Port
1.0 goal vs Ess
1.1 vs Eagles

For Melbourne, I think it might be something to do possibly with fitness or conditioning of the playeres but after a 20 in rest what the hell are they doing at half time? Does the coach or coaches put them to sleep .. man give them all 5 cans of redbull come out and put 15 in defence. To only kick 14 points in 90 minutes of footy is just plain disgraceful and says to me they just don't give a toss or they just don't want to put in for the coaches.

have i mentioned richmond are top 8 certs yet

I've had a small saver on the draw in the pies v hawks at 67 bucks as on 365 if there was a draw that final leg of my all up would be voided, apparently deadheat rules don't apply. For the afternoon I'm temporarily turning into a salivating, rabid, uncouth magpie fan and am thinking of going out and getting a few tatts pre game and stealing a car just so I can fit in with the right demographic.

Have to be all over Magpies at those odds....

fark you Heath Shaw you braindead farking moron you just gift the Hawks a goal because you're a selfish bunker hunt.

If I had to guess Joel, I would go with he gifted the Hawks a goal...

Slung Lewis to the ground off the ball because Shaw's a complete farkwit, results in a Burgoyne goal, pies outplayed them and didn't put it on the board only 11 points up at quarter time when they should have been at least 4 goals up.

Think they will need to get a decent lead and hope the rain keeps up because they're better in the wet than the hawks.

good fightback but Pies injury unbalanced them and could ultimately prove the difference on the day.

Pendles and Reid both back on does not appear any real issue

Hodge simply awesome goal

BRUEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSET

Reid is out there but nowhere near right as soon as he went off and then came back on wthat as when franklin got into the game, Thomas, Pendlebury both a bit sore and proppy but despite this hawks have been just as impressive as they were last week when I saw them first hand against the Eagles and they clearly took no knock from the hot day last week.

Dominating a game and not putting the result of that domination on the scoreboard is footy's cardinal sin and yet again it haunts the team that dominated early.

13 goal turnaround against a top 4 side, what a mighty outfit this Hawthorn team is when they are rolling

Hawks should make the 8 this year imo

In a word, impressive!!!

Nearly unloaded on the hawks at the 1.57 on 365 at halftime in order to win something but I clung to the false hope that the Pies might steady and repel this onslaught, damn the all up was a nice result for a small outlay. I shouldn't let external influences get in my head, I walked away from last weeks eagles game thinking the Hawks were super impressive and wouldn't get beaten anytime soon but I let the loss of Sewell and the possible effects of the heat get inside my head plus the fact that they were a fair bit shorter than what I had expected them to be but your eye doesn't lie and they very impressive last week and even more so this week as that was nothing short of devastating today.
