We C A N beat the Hawks !!!!!!!!!

[Enrico_Misso]

We are their bogey side.

Apart from that defensive debacle last year we have beaten them 6 out of the last 7.

SIX out of the last SEVEN

That is an 85% success rate.
And most of their players would have played in most of those 6 losses.

They will start favourites.
But if we can get a couple ahead we can mess with their minds.

GO SAINTS !

[Otiman]

We have beaten them comprehensively (in the 2nd half) and can beat them again.

They're coming off the week break and we've just played a pretty physical game against the pies.

But we do get a 7 day break, which is ideal for us.

We will have some confidence and momentum, they've had a week off, which can often stymie their momentum.

The week off is always nice to have, and great to aspire to, but sometimes can be more damaging than playing and winning games weeks in a row.

I like this thread.

The Saints will beat the Dawks. The backs have been awesome of late and with Max, Fisher, Blake and Gilbert we have the options to beat the Buddy and Roughie show.

Here they are ....
SIX out of SEVEN

Bingo Jonsey...well spotted. If we can shut down the small onballers again (Hodge, Bateman, Mitchell), we'll kick arse again. Buddy ain't nothin' if he doesn't get the ball!

[plugger66]

We can and may beat them but it will have nothing to do with our previous efforts otherwise we wouldnt even be playing them.

[Iceman234]

Am more confident of beating the Hawks than I was of beating the Pies.

We will win.

[Teflon]

My only concern is our last loss out of last 3 was at the G.....

Buddy appears to have much more room to move there....gonna be interesting.

Agree stopping Hodger is key.

Balls midfield hardness against Mitchell would be nice to help out Hayes......is he any chance?

[bethb7]

To right we can beat them again. We gave them a good wacking last time I have to doubts we can do it again.
