Yep sure did. Although it was another missed target for him.

Reckon we’ve seen the premiers tonight

They have that point of difference with their snap/speed of play, they’re playing for each other and their defensive pressure is elite.

Going to take a bloody good team to beat them.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Hawks refuse to kick Long DTL, they would rather risk a turnover by taking on an attacking kick than play predictably, its great to watch.

Mitchell has also decided to develop his kids in the AFL environment instead of letting them burn in the VFL, its a risk but it fast tracks them.

Yep, but travel to Adelaide, then Sydney if they get through.

Agree that’s the “con” to my statement but there’s a lot 2016 Dogs to their high volume move it quick possession game.

Teams just can set up against them

They thrive on chaos footy which the antidote to the controlled game of Sydney.

Been playing Grand Finals for about 15 weeks.
The only fear for me is the prelim in NSW. Would prefer GWS to Sydney, their ground is a bit bigger. Not sure how we would go on the small SCG.
Would love to see another Hawks v Geelong Grand Final
