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.

Not if we keep running, they wont catch us!

That will bring back memories...

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

Will be going to the game with a Hawks supporter friend,will most likely be sitting amongst the Hawks supporters,most likely be watching the Hawks beating us,but will be doing my part as a Demons supporter cheering,willing and hoping.

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.

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

Dawes needs to take a game or two for the team this weekend and use his physicality to upset the Hawks. If he cleans up Roughead I reckon that will be enough.

The poor dear has a "tight" calf.

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.

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...

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

I hope Hogan doesn't hurt/humiliate Frawley more than necessary.

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.

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.

I can't remember the last time Mitchell was actually injured.

He is a machine.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
