Hawkins is everything Hogan could become.

Hawkins did take a few years before things really clicked.

I bet Lewis' sly punch behind the play in Q1 will once again be overlooked.

OMG those Whorethorn players whinge when frees don't go their way.  Had it too good for too long.

God Hawthorn are annoying to watch. They play such uncontested footy. When it's tough in packs they can't handle it. It's a pity teams can't keep the intensity up for a whole game against them like we did or they'd come unstuck. Hate watching their players whinge for frees even though they get a dream run with the umps.

Hope Geelong can reset at half time and tighten up their defense to stop those over the top [censored] goals. Cmon Geelong!

Well we know geelongs tactics. Just annoy the crap out of Mitchell. It feels like Hawthorn are much further ahead than what the scoreboard says. They got on top of the cats there. Dangers fumbled the ball a few times and done some poor kicks. Could have done that 2 weeks ago. 

Anyway a great 2nd half coming up.

Luke Hodge and Joel Selwood seem to spend more time talking to the umpires than any other captains in the league....

You can't expect to receive preferential treatment if you don't network. It's social relations 101.

I'm sick to the death of seeing both these teams in the finals. Part of me doesn't care who wins as along as they hurt each other. But even for Hawthorn, I have never seen so much whinging for free kicks, gesturing at the umpire, squealing and moaning. Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell - just shut up and play footy. 

Having said that, it is not the most enjoyable game to watch.  A lot of pressure and fumbling but not much clean footy.

Hopefully sniper Mitchell gets cleaned up in the second half. Such a whinging piece of [censored] that bloke. And he never, NEVER stands up in the big finals games. He's got the worst finals record I can remember from any "superstar" footballer in my lifetime.

Fitzy missed a couple of chances.

Would have loved him to kick them but want his stinking team to get pumped!

It's like that, I desperately want Hawthorn to get done over, I'm loving Chip spudding it up but I'm barracking for Fitzy.

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
