Sewell linging up for the first goal of the 2nd quarter

and he goals Hawthorn 7. 2. 44 MFC 2. 3 15

Hodge falls over gets gifted another (he would've kicked it anyway but still).

This is why I hate Hawthorn - they cheat when they don't have to cos they're good enough already. It's only pre-season so I don't really care but if this was the real thing I would be going ape droppings.

Meanwhile Davey misses an absolute sitter.

 
 

We should put Trengove on Hodge and just tell him to follow him around the park. Get something out of this game and tell Trengove "this is how we want you to play".
 

Cant stop hale, hawks with buddyand roughy will be hard to stop

We always get Bullied by this dam team....has gone on for 40 years..

Well at least we know we still have lots of work ahead of us.

A bit of a reality check after a win against a bunch of boys last week. We are a million miles away from being anything

Yeah, that's good to know. I had us pinned for the flag until this.

Wooden spoon certainties for sure.


Howe about that , tackle , free , clarke marks and kicks

Free to jamar, hawk player played on , 50m where art thou?

Wooden spoon certainties for sure.

Never said that, but the 8 is a very long shot


The Hawks kicking skills are just awesome. I don't understand how we can't find players that are as hard as the Hawks' players are, yet can still kick the ball accurately over long distances.

We only play this lot once in the H/W season. Just a good learning curve, they will be fine once the real stuff starts.

Any judgement you make on the pre-season cup is premature. Whether it's outrageous or something semi-reasonable, if your basis is any pre-season match, it's wrong.

A Mod on a power trip..... now there's something new.

Aren't we allowed any opinions anymore?

 

This team of absolute [censored], have had the wood over us for years. Not just because they are supremely talented, but also because they treat us with such contempt and we let them. They know they can throw us around and take the [censored] and they do.

All I want in the second half is to see us stand up and dish out some tough treatment. Not stupid punches to the head like Sylvia's heroic moment, but really hurt them in tackles, and make them realise that we aren't their [censored].

For now they are miles better than us, and maybe that will never change, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't expect to leave the ground sore and bruised. If we turn this into a hard slog, as opposed to an easy victory, I'll be happy.

And all the sweeter when we beat them. Remember Geelong had it all over the Hawks until the game that really matters.

  • 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.
