Looks like Jones might have a serious leg injury.

Gee the Dorks are great at inflicting damage, buddy has a corky, Jones stuffed, Hodge has already slammed was it Mills into the deck? Why can't teams give some back?

Round 17 already, the season is flying, unless you're Fremantle.

In tonight's game, Bruce is attempting to set a world record in mentioning Rioli's name as many times as possible, although he hasn't had a possession. He did mention Rioli looks "interested" so I suppose that counts for someone.

Rohan kicked a nice goal for the Swans and Bruce felt the need to drop Rioli's name again stating "There's a bit of Rioli in Rohan." You could hear the jealously in his voice. 

Its a 50/50 game at the moment, I'm not sure why but Pannell was a late our for the Hawks.

Yep its anther rioli love fest. Ump not rewarding frees to swans

What horrible commentary.  

BT almost let slip "we need 2 goals to win" and always stating the bleeding ibvious - Swans 6 points up then kick a behind 'now 7 points down'.

Is there a special Hawthorn holding rule? 

Not sure, but there is a special Hawthorn how far you can run with the ball without bouncing.....think its about 25m...

How many games is that now the Hawks have won under 10 points, I think that's 5 now loose all those and they would be outside the 8, rioli kicks a 55 meter goal for the win he has never kicked that far in his life, how the hell does this club keep winning, gives me the shits

I reckon that's the minor premiership for Hawthorn too. 6 games left, they're already 2 clear on top and they have Richmond, Carlton, us and Collingwood to come. Not sure they'll lose any of them, which would mean they'd have to lose the last two (North and West Coast) and someone has to win out over the last 6.

How disgusting.

Hawthorn and the umpires both need investigating

Michael Jordan used to get a VERY favourable ride from referees. He'd just look at them and they'd call a foul.

Sort of like Hawthorn. Everyone loves a winner, including the umpires.

But if I have to hear Bruce and BT commentate one more Hawthorn game, I'll spew.

I hope some bikie gang kneecaps every single Hawthorn player as they get off the team bus at the airport.

That's four wins for them under 10 points. 

For Sydney, it's four losses by 10 points or less. They have a clear issue with winning the close ones, the last three (Richmond, WB, Hawthorn) they've had 2+ goal leads late and blown all of them.

As much as it makes me sick I agree.

They just have to many guys who are match winners and can't be stopped. Also, to have Hodge and Burgoyne just picking off easy touches on the flanks and then go in the guts when need be just shows the ridiculous amount of talent there team has.

They aren't even playing there best footy still imo and are sitting two games clear. Pricks

Hope you're happy AFL, you dumb [censored]! Your stupid expansion project, which has completely ruined all other clubs of young talent they desperately needed  to rebuild lists (which now play out their AFL existence in the NEAFL) has granted Hawthorn the magical ability to stay at the top of the ladder for half a decade without challenge.

Just imagine if the entire lists of GWS and Gold Coast had been divided amongst the clubs who so desperately needed it, instead of having compromised draft after compromised draft, still continuing this year with farcical amounts of first round picks to GWS, none of which they even need with the shape of their list.

But thank Christ those 338 GWS members have satisfied those expansion urges!

I think it's going to be us...maybe we could finish a few of them off pre finals.

That sick-in-the guts feeling of this year sadly being the "Fourthorn" is starting  to feel like "Fivethorn" in 2017.

If that eventuates, it will most certainly be time to 'put the cue in the rack' and start following NRL.........

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
