If by "smash" you mean "Go the Daniel Merrett route", then I agree. The AFL has all but condoned it with their ridiculous decision not to suspend that F L O G.

    I think it'll be the upset of the round if we get to within 5 goals.

    Let's just hope we can see some of the form and composure that resulted in our wins this year. Last week was a total shocker and we're much better than that.

    I reckon Roosy will have the boys peaking and we'll shock the Hawks enough to be leading by half time but will run out of puff after that and the errors will creep in.

    Hawks are way too classy. Thinking that we're any chance to win tomorrow is completely ludicrous - as much as I'd love it.

    Coming within 10 points against a team like Hawthorn/Port makes losing to teams like Brisbane/Bulldogs far more difficult to swallow

    Zero chance.

    That said, I've got $50 at $11 for the Melbourne win.

    So rather than not winning $550, you can not win $700 instead.

    Something like that.

    They were $8.50, not collecting $425 is hardly worth mentioning.

    Not much fun either putting $100 on the Hawks to get $103 back.

    I'd rather swallow than take it in the rear like we have been doing these past eight years.

    Not much of an option though is it

    I dare say Hawthorn will have their usual 6 or 7 consecutive goal burst that they do against bottom teams.

    I just hope it's not in the 1st quarter.

    At least last weeks game should have confirmed once and for all who are keeps and who are gone.

    This weeks side looks more like one you would expect with an eye to the future.

    Hawthorn's lowest score this year is 86 points against Port Adelaide in round 10. We've reached 86 points once this year, against Richmond in round 9.

    The chances of us keeping the margin under ten goals are so small that such a number hasn't been invented yet.

    Good luck to anybody thinking of attending.

    We will get pumped. Possibly 100 plus points.

    Sportsbet suggest Hawthorn 60+ should pay $2.10, it's about as likely as not.

    Sure, let's explode the tone of the finals run. That'd be terrific entertainment.

    In the interests of keeping this AFL season fun and outright wacky, we really ought to win this game.

  • Quote

    For those who MUST have a betting interest may I suggest the Line odds of 9 or 10 goals start for a 90% return will at least give you a run for your money .

    I don't expect us to win, hell I don't expect a whole lot of good to happen tomorrow, but I want the Hawks to be forced to grind out a win against us. I want the hawks players to come off the ground and know that they've had to work for the victory for 4 quarters.

    My checklist of desires for tomorrow:

    - attack the footy hard with relentless pressure

    - execute basic skills, kick goals when they are on a platter

    - be in the game a 3qtr time

    - Dawes to kick 2+ goals and have an impact

    Honestly, I'm Fukin around...don't think we will win. But I really hope we can challenge the Hawks and earn some respect from the AFL community. This is the best oppurnity to show our improvement so ye I'm excited even though I'm pretty sure we're going to lose.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
