READY FOR THE KILL - THE HAWTHORN GAME

Recommended Posts

If both Frawley and Lake make a return we will not score enough.

Giants played them at their weakest, we'll not be so fortunate.

I have a strange feeling coming into this game. Not one of optimism nor dread...just a strange feeling.

Well that's not very helpful is it

How do you think my day could be, driving 300ks with 2 bloody hawk fans (daughter & sonoutlaw) but on the upside meeting grand daughter and little bro, both demon members. I might use the old "go easy think off my heart condition bit"

Go Dees ya can do it.

Flogging comin our way!

I can't believe Dawe's comments that they're gettable - Did he get concussed last week?

I live to see the response from Demonlanders the first time a player gets asked about how we will do on the weekend and he says " pretty much, we will get smashed"

Melbourne to win by 17 points. Hogan to smash Frawley

Watts to kick 4 in. BOG performance

Brayshaw to rag doll Mitchell's head into the turf in the first 5 mins leaving them a man down

I don't expect a win but I don't expect a flogging either.

My expectations have been lifted by the lift in performance this season and I see a Hawthorn team weakened playing against a team of players waiting for a game where their confidence 'clicks' at the same time.

Our top 6 players are not at their best right now, but would stack up against Hawthorn's best 6 for the first time in about a decade.

Start with some confidence and I think we will be a chance.

But have 5 players with the predominant mindset they have shown in the last few weeks of inertia and concern and we will get badly beaten.

just glad that i will miss watching this because it clashes with my son's auskick session. Will give me a chance to not be in a foul mood for half a weekend for once.

dawes did make a good point. Whoever Frawley plays on you need and he thinks its hogan, he nees to run him off his feet as chip hasnt played for a few weeks.

Do I expect to win. No and hawthorn should beat a team like us, but anything can happen. I just want to see a good hard contest where we do go in hard at them and stay in the contest.

I expect tommy to get Roughead. But having no Lewis and Hodge helps a little bit.

We will get pummelled.

Probably right. Given last week, the Hawks will have a point to prove in maintaining 4 Q consistency. They are just too strong on all levels. We are miles away from having the same skills, run, hardness and goal scoring options. Can see the Dees sticking for a period if they maintain sufficient intensity but reckon it will be very hard to get ahead on the scoreboard at any time. Losing Hodge and Lewis certainly helps us and will make for fewer short steps from our mob. I long for the time when we turn up expecting to beat the Hawks. Just hope I am still alive. Like all long-time successful teams they have an arrogance and attitude that is hard to put up with. Both team and supporters.

I want to see a couple of good Hip & Shoulders aim around the rib area

Luke McCabe Style.

We cannot afford to let this arrogant slime rape us yet again

I hope Chup plays...

David Neitz = Jesse Hogan, 2015 style!

I think they're a two (or three) goal - per - quarter better side than us.....so, 40 - 50 point loss.

Likewise - I will be there with my niece who is a Hawthorn supporter. She always ends up buying me some hot jam donuts as she feels sorry for me! Just as a side note, the little boy running through the Melbourne banner this week is Hugo - a mad Melbourne supporter. I think he is about five. He is the

nephew of Glenn Lovett. I will be cheering him on - he is so excited.

Hawthorn should smash us.

This concerns me. You haven't been wrong for a while.

I was optimistic leading into the Freo game and even thought we could bounce back with a competitive effort against Sydney. On both occasions I was way off the mark.

Just once, I'd love for us to beat Hawthorn. I'll even take us being in striking distance at 3/4 time. I'm sick of them smashing us.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    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
