Interesting stat that only 3 West Coast players have played in a premiership (2 for different clubs; only Sam Butler's still around from 2006) whereas 20 out of 22 Hawthorn players lined up for them in last year's grand final. Not sure how much weight I'd place on it though to be honest.

The weather and a coach well drilled in how Hawthorn like to play will get West Coast the win.

They must be prepared though mentally and physically for the unsociable hawks in the first 10 minutes and not take a backwards step.

Go eagles!

Win!

I'm backing the Hawks to win but would I love to see the Eagles get the job done.

If it's close at three quarter time I think West Coast can run over them in the final quarter due to the warm weather and the fact that they had a week's break whereas Hawthorn required to play consecutive weeks to get to this stage.

Hopefully it's a more entertaining Grand Final because last year was boring and one-sided.

I'm going Weagles. They beat Hawthorn 3 weeks ago without Priddis in the side & maybe the heat will get to the old Hawthorn side.

A Bruce McAvaney moment.

Last time Hawthorn wore white shorts in a Grand Final was in 1978.

Hawks looking shaky again, plenty of turnovers.
Well done boys!
