Having seen some of Hawthorn's display on TV last night, next Friday night's game is not looking good.
[1] Hawthorn appear to have hit form and are playing very well.
[2] Hawthorn appear to hit (or knee) players and get away with it. We get suspended if we put any physical pressure on.
[3] We will not be able to get anything like our best 22 on the park. Even if we get a few guys back, we seem to lose somebody irreplaceable each week.
[4] The honeymoon appears over for Johnny Barker. We have returned to some fairly negative football and have a lot of players playing without a lot of passion. The run and willingness to take risks just hasn't been there.
[5] We haven't beaten Hawthorn for so long that many supporters have never seen it happen. I would LOVE to see us reverse this trend, as we have been getting closer and closer in recent times. However, we just don't have the cattle at this point of time.
