Ok, so I have said this before the start of most games however over the years it has, IMO, been one of our downfalls that we must rectify if we are going to win games, in particular this game.
We simply must get a few goals on the board early, we can't afford to let the Hawks skip to a 3-4 avantage in the first 15 minutes. Playing catch up football is all we seem to do and when the game is on the line we are too spent to get accross the line.
If we let the Hawks get out to a decent lead and they start to kick accurately we will get smashed. In all honesty we really should have been hammered against the Blues and the Saints, their bad kicking actually kept us in the game. The Hawks kicking was no better last weekend, but if they get it together.......
This is a real challenge for us, I think it will show us where we are at, Melbourne just had a reality check, I hope we don't get one out of this game.
I hate playing the Hawks..
