If it's a dry track for most of the game the Hawks forwards - buddy, Breust, gunston etc. can exploit the possible injuries of McPharlin and Johnson and run them off their feet. However, If it's wet and windy during the match the Dockers will be able to lock up the game and nullify Hawthorn's biggest strength - their kicking efficiency. Do you think the conditions will play a big factor in determining a winner tomorrow?If it's a dry track for most of the game the Hawks forwards - buddy, Breust, gunston etc. can exploit the possible injuries of McPharlin and Johnson and run them off their feet.

I don't think rain will be an issue...if it does rain, then its going to be minimal and apparently its expected to clear before the game. Players do train and play in greasy conditions all the time so its nothing new. Wind may be more a problem, seems in parts of Vic it is blowing its ring out.

The weather is expected to clear up by the time the the game starts, Mate.

The weather conditions won't be extreme enough to influence the result.

There is absolutely no question about it. the weather is going to play a big part in the out come of this game. that's why i am undecided on a winner of the granny as yet. Cheers.

If it's wet the cats will rue the fact they weren't 2 goals better last week, but fremantle pressure on the hawks in wet conditions could definitely make me lean the other way.
