Lake is the only player Hawthorn have got from free agency. The difference between Hawthorn and Melbourne is their high draft picks have been stars.

Never cared less about a grand final Same teams every year is so boring and the COLA ruins everything the AFL has really gone to [censored]

I live in Sydney and the COLA is crap. The cost of a medium coffee here is $2.50, whereas it was $3.80 in Melbourne. Empirical evidence right there! Might taste like absolute garbage compared to Melbourne, but that's not the point...

Was going to post something similar but wanted to confirm Lake was their only free agent. Indeed it's true, you can't blame the success of the Hawks on free agency. They have a brilliant coach, brilliant culture, brilliant players, and that breeds strong development of their draftees and recruits.

Sadly though, free agency will keep them right at the top, because they'll replace any KPP with gold from the lowly clubs to stay at the top.

After watching 7 today I can only say the quicker FOX are allowed to telecast the GF the better.

I know the Adverts make the world go round but the number is astounding

Also when are we going to get over the need for an overseas star as entertainment.

Tom was ok but god knows how much he cost.

Spend the money on an aussie.

Plus they lost Franklin to free agency.

Makes you feel frustrated... Since the fail merger... Hawks 3 flags , 4 gf....vs mfc 1 gf in2000

As a club we went around in circles & butchered our early draft picks & created crap culture!

I agree Hogan but lets forget the past and think 2015 on

We will go crazy looking back.

You better hope rjay doesn't read that.

(I agree btw)

Very, very average today but not on his own. I reckon only 3 and 1/2 players came to play today. Malceski by far their best player on the day, Kennedy worked hard, Buddy did his job and Goodes was the half, at least he did something with the ball. The rest might as well not have bothered, in fact they didn't.

Such a boring game of footy, Sydney got well ahead of themselves and forgot all about the defensive aspects of their game.

What I will say is they are riding this success off the priority pick that landed them Roughead. It shows that good drafting can get you up the ladder to sustained success.

We absolutely butchered our priority picks. I wish we'd had the chance to see what a PP under Roos could land us, but it's not to be in modern AFL, where the successful teams run the competition.

It pisses me off how Hawthorn barely even care they won it, if this was any other club they'd be going mad. Far out I hate Hawthorn.

We had great seats on tier 4 in row A and we were quite excited when Tom Jones belted out Delilah directly in front of us and when ONJ came on I was just about there. Unfortunately the contest was non-event and the game a dull affair. We left at 3 qtr time along with many others.

Who won the Norm Smith ?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
