Hawthorn v Western Bulldogs - Qualifying Final at the MCG - Friday Night

[MIGHTY MAGPIES 01]

Hawthorn are in better form, but i think the Doggies have the gameplan that can beat the Hawks. I'm tipping the Bulldogs to win in an upset by 12 Points.

Doggies recent form hasn't been good enough

Why dont you just post in the Saints v Cats thread?

Dissapointing effort from the Dogs, Buddy was unstoppable equalling Dermott Breretons club record of 8 Goals in a final. Are the Hawks now a premiership contender?

[Bird of Prey]

Buddy was pretty good, but Hodge was phenomenal. Absolutely dominated across the half back line. Dogs were pretty poor, and look like they might go out in straight sets.

Spirit is quivering in his boots after that display.

I suppose I had better say Buddy did ok too.

I'm about as scared of the Hawks as I am of the Dockers. Bring whatever you have forwards, the Dogs were tanking.
