I''m so sick of the absolute fawning about Rioli. Yeah yeah, he's a really good player but so sick of that fat [censored] Taylor gushing about him. Even in the last minute when Rioli didn't take a handball near goals, Taylor was blaming the handball.

For me Mitchell was BOG. An absolute freak. I hate to say it, but Frawley was sensational. Rivers was good last night too. As if MFC can afford to lose those players!!

It was a really good match. Glad Hawthorn lost.

i think the Hawks played well below their best, and wouldn't be all that concerned by the loss,

Luke hodge would have made a difference

Well below their best.....the game was a ripper, came back from six goals down against the Swans. Missed a few missed set shots that's all. Rioli was cm's away from winning it.

"Only Cyril can do that!!!"...after taking a pretty regulation mark one on one in the goal square, and played on and kicked the goal. See that happen in every bloody game.

Good player, but it was all a bit much.

and as I recall little or nothing was said at the time about his (certainly uncharacteristic) fumble in front of goal in the dying seconds.

swans were good but ultimately lucky

hawks had plenty of opportunities and blew them with bad (uncharacteristic) kicking for goal

still it shows that even hawthorn lose their composure if you apply enough pressure

maybe man-on-man football has a future as a game plan, especially against sides with more talent

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
