So with the Hawks handing out the first legitimate thrashing of the year to Richmond last night I have to ask the big questions.

Are the Hawks really that good?

Are Richmond really that bad?

Is it a little of both?

    I thought the Hawks were OK and Richmond was woeful. Hawthorn made a lot of turnover errors but Richmond would just give it straight back to them. Granted it is only Feb but I can't see (say) Geelong or StKilda giving them second chances if they do that in the home and away.

    On the bright side my $100 bet on us finishing higher than Richmond is looking better and better.

    Hawthorn will be up there after we give them an early wake up call in Round 1, as they experience a 9 point loss :)

    As expected, the Tiges are poor, BUT, have more young talent than I realised. Obviously Cotchin & Vickery are there with Martin showing something, but I also like Collins & add some other regulars& they have the frame work to build on.

    Let me take you back to the end of the season last year, when i made a bet with a mate of mine, that i would run 1km, in the buff, on nepean hwy that we would finish higher than Richmond. Looking good

    i live near nepean Hwy so i look forward to that piece of lunacy-but i think you are safe, Richmond have been rebuilding since 1983.

    The foundations keep falling over!!

    I think they'll fall over at either end of the ground for a while yet. They have a raft of smallish zippy midfielders, but few real quality talls to prop them up.

    Hawthorn was quite poor in some of their skills. Against a better side, they wouldn't have looked so flash.

    Richmond were just shocking.

    Thursfield, McGuane, Jackson, Foley, Cousins, Moore and some newbies. Not a hell of a lot, really.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
