    I have a good feeling the boys are starting to get it. We might not win but i feel we are a fighting chance this week. We need the hawks to be of there game and we need to fire. Might be dreaming but the dees like the cats of 07 will just click one of this days. Lookout when we learn to win mark neeld is the man

    Have not been around to see the games Big Jim but by looking at the scores we might finally get it around the middle of 2013.

    Keep in mind we are still loosing by significant margins.

    I'd have to say i'm a little worried too OD. I get the feeling the boys (and coach) seemed in some way "satisfied" with their efforts last week, yet we still lost by over 7 goals against a fairly depleted and relatively inexperienced (compared to recent years) Cat side. They had the wood on us and better quality players at the top (experience wise) and were playing at home in front of a home crowd i realise.

    But if we don't step it up to another level (which might be just 2% extra effort/output or so....who knows) this week we might get a nasty surprise i reckon. Hopefully we do, but the mindset this week is a bit of a worry going in.

    I have a family dinner that starts at 7.30 and will drag me away from the pain. Will be cheering them on though really, and just hope they continue to take steps in the right direction.

    Some positives (and negatives) on the stats side. Would like to see stats such as (to name a few)... effective tackles, effective clearances, hit outs to advantage, play on %, etc but don't have access to them...anyone have that here??:

    Rankings

    Contested possessions: Demons 15th / Hawks 14th (Positive? lol)

    Uncontested possessions: Demons 18th / Hawks 7th (i think that might be a negative!)

    Disposal Efficiency: Demons 18th / Hawks 3rd (oops)

    Contested Marks: Demons 4th / Hawks 14th (Yahoo!)

    Clearances: Demons 11th / Hawks 18th (given our disposal efficiency i reckon we need to see "effective clearances" :wacko: , still a win is a win i guess)

    Tackles: Demons 10th / Hawks 4th (i'd rather see effective tackles)

    Goal Accuracy: Demons 7th / Hawks 9th (if we can only deliver accurately i50 and get it in there enough times! Woot woot)

    Entries inside 50: Demons 17th / Hawks 7th

    Rebound from defensive 50: Demons 2nd / Hawks 13th (the pressure being brought on our defense might pay off big time later i hope...doing a pretty good job given how often it's coming in atm).

    Yeah its a worry when Neeld says that he couldnt fault the effort yet we still loose by 40 points.

    Strangely, I've had the 1960's hit 'Friday on my Mind' by the Easybeats going around in my head ever since I first read the title of this thread several days ago ................ but it couldn't possibly be a portent of events at the G on Friday night, could it?

    Sure hope so DOF. the only way this club will survive is to embrace pressure.

    Northey was so f$&@'in close to doing it.

    I heard a Luke Hodge grab this morning. Hawthorn have loved pressure since John Kennedy. It is there backbone.

    So now just watch us play the Hawks back into the kind of form that will see them go on to improve those areas in which they are currently deficient.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
