Hawks throwing it about

Recommended Posts

I wonder when an eye for an eye will be dealt out to hawthorn? Can't remember when they've been physically attacked in this era. Not saying it's right, just saying it might be necessary...

Can see the afl tribunal finding a way to give them one week each. God i hate the dorks. Almost as much as essenscum

As I said elsewhere Harford is on the MRP expect maximum leniency.

Agree.

Just wish we were good enough to do it.

Interesting that Hodge threw his at the 13 min mark when they were level with North, North then lost focus and Hawks motored on.

Hawks play GWS and Demons next two weeks.

They'll get 3 with plea down to 2. Get them cherry ripe for Swans after us.

Actually an interesting aspect to Hodges over reaction to Swallow, it happened in a footy match, on a grass field and against a very fit victim. The consequences are thus reduced. It should be adjudicated on the consequences that could have happened. Elsewhere it could be termed a cowards punch.

North's response was pathetic. Needed to forget football for 5 minutes and knock Lewis and Hodge out. Then get on with trying to win the game. Have to fight fire with fire. Hodge will be lucky to get 2 and Lewis 1.

The Ice Hockey sin bin rule needs to come in here which will be especially critical and relevant in a GF match where there's no tomorrow.

The following sin bins should be considered >>

- if a player is knocked down off the ball or well after a play/mark is completed like the incidents above>> 20 minutes minumum or rest of the quarter (whichever is longer.. ie., if there's oly 10 minutes left player is binned for remaining 10 minutes plus first 10 minutes of following quarter) ; OR

- If under the above scenario the effected player misses the entire match (ie., doesn't return after the concussion test) being subbed, then player responsible for that player missing remains binned for the entire match also, whether or not a sub is available.This could result in a team having only 17 players or less available and on the field depending on the fitness/health/availability of remaining interchange/sub players. Regardless the instigator misses the remainder of the match.

Hodge is a dog. Always has been.

Wish he was ours.........

If Lewis gets one week I am giving it up. He has no defence, high contact intentional and high impact surely that is two with a guilty plea. But then it is the Dorks.

Merrett didn't even get cited for something I thought was much worse against Pedersen last year.

Chook they somehow deemed Merrett to be going for the ball. I can't see Lewis putting up the same defence and having credibility. He came in sideways and late but I am sure they will try it on. Goldstein has an eye not a squashed nose, the only difference is where contact happened.

Hodge and Lewis.

Two weeks each in my opinion.

But Hawks are scary. They are warriors.

You say warriors, I say bullies. But yes they are scary.

Nothing to do with the Dorks Hood. This is one of the AFL's pin up boys in one of their top 3 Vic clubs. Protected species. They want as many of their big guns up and running in as many prime time broadcast matches as possible throughout the year ie., bigger ratings = additional advertising revenue = more willingness for broadcaster/s to bid higher on next contract

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
