Predictions - and discussion - in lead up to 2015 season..

[valleys07]

I think the key is that Hawthorn appear capable of winning a flag without needing to be at their best .. They can have an off day and still beat the better opposition.

The same can't be said for their rivals.

Yep, agreed. The joker in the pack is most certainly West Coast. If they somehow manage to avoid each other until the big dance then anything is possible.

While they clash in the coming weeks, it's not until the knock out games do we really see the complete desperation of both sides.

Based on Hawthorns recent record in Preliminary finals (3 point loss, 5 point win, 5 point win and 3 point win), I reckon any side would fancy themselves in a preliminary final against Hawthorn.

Personally, I'd rather play the hawks then, than on GF day.

Don't think you will get the opportunity pal -

No worries - I took the I'd as meaning that.... it's all a bit of fun, lighten up..... Pal

Not sure if you are referencing my now obvious incorrect wording, but:

Yes- Hope Valley to the AFL is unlikely, personally.

If you are referring to my AFL team supported, then yes again- thanks for the update

Personally I thought it was obvious mate, not poor wording at all. Not sure anyone needs to highlight the fact Port won't play in a prelim this year nor would I expect anyone would think that was the direction you were taking.

Anywho, play on.....pals.

Is "Paling" now worse then "Champing" somebody?

West Coast will make the 8 easily.

Surely playing in a home prelim counts as easily?
