Regeln » Joey Votto hit his 25th homer, Tucker Barnhart

Walking into Whitten Oval on Thursday morning, the triumphant strains of Chumbawumbas Tubthumping rang out on the public address system. The tune may have been a harbinger of doom for the Western Bulldogs since it was released in 1997 - defeat in that years preliminary final as painful a finals memory anyone at the club has ever experienced.However the I get knocked down, but I get up again refrain could also be taken as a omen for better things, considering the story of its success. A little-known anarchist collective, Chumbawumba hit on just the right formula for terrace singalongs and top 40 countdowns after years of trying, and in doing so knocked off the late 1990s hegemony of Aqua at the top of the Australian charts.Thats precisely the kind of tale the Bulldogs and their coach Luke Beverage hope to be a part of on Friday night, the club with one premiership in their history looking to unseat Hawthorn from a tilt at their fourth in a row. Spirits are high in the western suburbs of Melbourne after the Dogs surprisingly commanding defeat of West Coast in Perth, as evidenced by a large turnout for the final training session of the week.Its been an exciting week after having a really positive result last week, Beveridge said. Not a lots changed except it is encouraging that weve been able to win a final which we havent done for a little while, so well probably go in with a bit more of a head of steam into this game than we did last week.I remember as a kid going out to Victoria Park and watching the Pies training when Tommy Hafey was coach in the 70s and seeing the swamps of Collingwood supporters there but it was an afternoon after work. So this morning when people should be at work and should be at school, its great to see so many people here.Beveridge, himself a former Hawks assistant to Alastair Clarkson, wants to ensure the trend continues. For all his fealty to the Hawthorn side that helped launch his own senior coaching career, Beveridge has another piece of family history to protect - his grandfather was part of the Collingwood side of the 1920s that remains the only team to win four VFL/AFL flags in succession.Theyre one of the all-time teams arent they? Beveridge said. Three in a row and up there now with the Brisbane Lions, theyre chomping at the bit to match The Machine, my grandfather played in those four flags [for Collingwood] actually so I hope they dont get it. Hopefully we stop them on Friday night. Theyre an all-time team and club and were definitely wary of them. We respect them in the highest regard, but we wont overdo that.Well still focus on ourselves and what our very best can bring, and hope to manufacture a similar type performance to what we did last week. If thats what happens I wont get any extra satisfaction. I still have really fond and brilliant memories of my time working at the Hawks with everyone there, the players have achieved some great things. If anything if we do it takes an element off it that it is them because I still have some close relationships with a lot of people there.As someone who has observed Clarksons Hawthorn from within and without the club, Beveridge noted that the team his side face on Friday night will not be the same as that which won the first of its recent premierships in 2008 before embarking on the hat-trick from 2013 onwards. Subtle evolution in style and skill has coexisted with the necessities of change; a team lacking Jared Rougheads overhead ability has instead doubled down on precise disposal by foot as the key to victory.You only need to look at some of the key personnel whove gone out and come in and some of their system-based stuff has evolved a little bit as well, Beveridge said. Theres still a great appetite on their offensive game I think to control the ball and cut opposition tams apart, that hasnt changed, that links in with the way Clarko thinks about the game and his appetite for risk, but theres definitely some things there that have changed.Its not like theyre a totally different colour than what they were when I was there a couple of years ago, but theyve evolved. Clarkes been a master of that over a long period of time, just to evolve with his teams and its a credit to them theyve got the double chance again this year - we know what they did in their second final last year and went all the way. Were up against it.The Bulldogs cut the Eagles to pieces with their own brand of highly skilled and speedy play at Subiaco, and in order to impose that successfully at the MCG there will also ned to be composure and strength when confronted with the Hawks unsociable play. The physicality of the Gelong-Hawthorn match was not lost on Beveridge, and nor was the even Cats contribution that ultimately won out thanks to Isaac Smiths miss after the siren.Its been part of the Hawks trademark for a long period of time - theyre a hard-nosed football team, he said. Weve come up against that a little bit this year, being a younger side week to week some of the more experienced sides think they can exploit that from time to time.Our guys encouragingly have been able to stand up against that, but this another big final and if we confront that, well thats our test. We need to stand up and be counted and play our best footy. You cant get carried away and be undisciplined.As the training session wound down, the oval jukebox clocked over to Europes The Final Countdown. This track was true not only to the end of training, but also to the goal the Bulldogs have set for themselves this week. Knocking off Hawthorn would make them a team to be remembered. It would also open up their own avenue towards a second premiership - and few in the league would begrudge them that. Willy Hernangomez Hornets Jersey .
