2013 AFL Grand Final: Rain won't mean a bath for Hawthorn Brad Sewell runs on to the field for Hawthorn's Grand Final training session yesterday. RAIN is predicted for tomorrow's Grand Final, but Hawthorn has scoffed at suggestions that wet conditions will play into Fremantle's hands. Heavy losses to Richmond last year and again in Round 19 this season were played in the wet at the MCG, while the Hawks also lost to Geelong in greasy conditions in July. But assistant coach Brendan Bolton said yesterday that it would be unfair to read too much into those results. "We've been able to perform when it's dry, wet and windy," Bolton said. Our form has been good throughout the season, so it won't change the way we want to play. We do have the ability to change the way that we do play in games, which is a real strength of ours, so we'll just combat whatever conditions are thrown at us. Bolton said Hawthorn players possessed a steely resolve to ensure the heartbreak of last year's Grand Final defeat is not repeated tomorrow. All season the Hawks have been loath to declare publicly that last year's defeat to Sydney has been a motivator. But now with an opportunity to atone now before them, Bolton said the players were desperate not to let another opportunity slip against the Dockers. "The one thing I have noticed is that there is just a bit of a steely resolve and a look in the eye because after last year you know what a defeat feels like," he said. I think we're a lot better prepared this year because we won early games and, if there were any sore guys, we didn't need to risk them. And the other thing why we're probably a little bit more prepared is our versatility - players have been able to play multiple roles - so there's real confidence going in to this game that we don't have I go with just the one strategy. Bolton said coach Alastair Clarkson did not need to refer to the 2012 defeat in his prematch address tomorrow. For the players, they've lived and breathed that last year, and over the course of the year they've been really determined to make amends. Bureau of Meteorology duty forecaster Peter Newham said scattered showers were predicted for tomorrow afternoon, but the outlook was not as bad as initially expected. A top of 16C has been predicted.
