The last time they met

The last time Melbourne met Hawthorn was in Round 9 last year. This is how the team looked: 

MELBOURNE  

Backs Matthew Whelan Matthew Warnock Jared Rivers

Half backs James Frawley Stephan Martin Aaron Davey 

Centreline Jack Grimes Colin Sylvia Brock McLean 

Half forwards Cale Morton Brad Miller Russell Robertson

Forwards Brad Green Matthew Bate Cameron Bruce 

Followers Paul Johnson Brent Moloney James McDonald

Interchange Jamie Bennell Nathan Jones Addam Maric Ricky Petterd  

Emergencies Clint Bartram Kyle Cheney Mark Jamar

The teams met twice in 2008. The first time it was a Hawthorn win by 104 points. The second time, the Demons' effort was more respectable:

MELBOURNE - 23 May 2008 

Backs Matthew Warnock Colin Garland Daniel Bell

Half backs Clint Bartram Paul Johnson Cameron Bruce

Centreline Brad Green Brock McLean Matthew Bate

Half forwards Cale Morton Russell Robertson Brent Moloney

Forwards Aaron Davey Brad Miller Austin Wonaeamirri

Followers Jeff White James McDonald Nathan Jones 

Interchange Simon Buckley James Frawley Ben Holland Shane Valenti 

Emergencies Jace Bode Chris Johnson Adem Yze

Here's the selected team for the first round just two years ago:

MELBOURNE - 23 March 2008 

Backs Paul Wheatley Nathan Carroll Colin Garland

Half Backs Ricky Petterd Daniel Bell James McDonald

Centreline Brad Green Brock McLean Simon Buckley

Half forwards Cameron Bruce Brad Miller Adem Yze

Forwards Michael Newton David Neitz Russell Robertson

Followers Jeff White Aaron Davey Nathan Jones

Interchange Paul Johnson Brent Moloney Cale Morton Isaac Weetra 

Emergencies Jace Bode James Frawley Mark Jamar 

The teams also met in the opening NAB Cup game of 2009 at Launceston with a narrow result in favour of the Hawks. Melbourne last beat Hawthorn in 2006.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
