There is Hawthorn

Then there are 17 other clubs

The compromised drafts have suited them beautifully. Use trades or free agency for key position players and rucks, then draft mids and flankers. The other 17 teams are just feeder clubs for Hawthorn - maybe they should all stop trading with them if they want to limit the dominance.

    This is not a good day for footy. Sad really. The domination by the same teams makes the competition quite boring.

    Well done Frawls, for all the pain you put up with at Melbourne I'm glad to see you have success and play a very good game.

    I'm also much happier with Brayshaw than you.

    Picked one hell of a match to put out THAT performance, Eagles.

    Hawthorn simply will not fall away until Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis are gone. They are like 3 coaches basically directing the players on the ground.

    West Coast by 12 points. Jack Darling to really stamp himself as a superstar of the game and kick 5!

    Hawthorn are pretty much becoming the AFL's version of Real Madrid/Manchester United. Fourth straight GF!!! Sick of them. I don't particularly like West Coast, they've always seemed to have an arrogant culture, but I hope they can get the job done.

    I was way off with the Darling prediction. I rate him highly but his temperament on the big stage left a lot to be desired. Maybe he's just a flat track bully (always kills US!!!)

    Aside from their great skills, teamwork, pressure and structure what I love about how Hawthorn play is they never seem to lose their feet and manage to stand up in the contest.

    I went back to watch our win over GWS and even in that game players such as Garland and Grimes just flop to the floor at every opportunity they get.

    Being there yesterday and watching how the hawks play was just amazing. The way they structure up, defend and help each other out is great. There isnt over use of hand balling, hand balling to a stationary player when an opponent is right on him, blazing away and fumbling. They all do there job and to watch Cyril set up that win in the first quarter and at the beginning of the 2nd reminded me of all the exciting things the Whiz used to do.

    Clarko has proven that you dont need to be a superstar player to be a great coach. He was never a great player, but a player who just gave everything but geez is a brilliant tactical coach. also the hawks have travlled twice to perth to get to the GF.

    Never seen Priddis play so badly and Nic Nat well he gave nothing. His tap outs didnt really work. Hawthorn just read them and Hale and McEvoy just beat him around the ground.

    One day I hope to see the same excitement and Jonsey up there on the stage with the cup.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
