Hodge is done. 

Hawkers should’ve traded him...

    She's like many Hawthorn people I know. Doesn't really care what happens, but if they win is happy to say "Go Hawkers".

    90% of their membership. You watch them disappear if Whorethorn lose games regularly this year

    How's the Suns jumper? Copy of the MFC jumper per chance? They also lack a front of jumper sponsor.

    I may be the only few that don't really have an issue with hawthorn and there success. Maybe because I admire Clarko and how he managed to knock the cats off in 2008 when no one game them a chance or maybe because he actually had the guts to come out and say what he thought of Hird and the essendon saga. 

    Also he wasn't a superstar player like hird, buckley, voss or even tim watson. So he has proved you don't need to be a superstar to be a successful coach. 

    Plus my friends who are hawks fans wernt arrogant when they wee successful unlike my bomber ones who after 2000 already said they would win the next 3. 

    And I wish they knocked off the bummer last week. 

    So now it's a different side and they have to get used to there team losing games. But I think 37,420 is a low crowd. 

    Also it seems putting a different jumper on Vickory hasnt changed or helped him much.

    I'm still baffled as to how an AFL standard umpire could make a decision like that.  I know we all make mistakes, but that's something I'd expect to see at Under 18 level in the local leagues.  Just a mindbogglingly bad decision.

    Don't exaggerate. You wouldn't see it in any league!

    37,420 (if that was the crowd) is a terrific crowd for a game against Adelaide at the G. We'd be delighted by that.

    Hawthorn have never had particularly massive attendances for H&A games. Their actual membership numbers are high, but not many attend.

    Just watched the free kick to poppy again it's on the afl website, I just don't understand how the umpire made that call it's absolutely mind boggling

    You actually know Whorethorn supporters who are not arrogant, Christ i used to work with 3 of them who would organize Grand Final holidays 2-3 years in advance!

    I am not joking either. Whorethorn in the '80's...Wow.

    Then they beat us in that bloody merger game in '96

    No problem with Clarko at all

    They did make a wrong call this year though and it is beautiful

    Hodge is cooked. Finished.

    Jordan Lewis hopefully has 2-3 years left at least, maybe more if managed.

    The footy was so good last week the umpires are just trying to remind us they're still here this week.

    Looks like Gold Coast learnt from their start last week...

    This is pathetic.

    I wonder if the Suns are even a little embarrassed that they’ve been completely overtaken by their younger brother the Giants.

    Wow. Just wow. Anyone see Ablett's jog then?

    I think it's team rules, they all are. Something not right with this mob.

    Didn’t see it but I wouldn’t be surprised if Gaz is just completely mentally checked out of that club right now.

    It has a bit of the Neeld days about it for me. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of a revolt there. I'd target Saad and Kolodjashnij and see if we can woo them. I would imagine it wouldn't take much to want to get out of there.

    Who goes first? Buckley or Eade? Potentially Eade the way it's going today.

    For premiership favourite the AFL should be ashamed at the crowd! 

    Will no doubt inflate the few thousand.

    Remind me - has Eade been sacked once already?

    GCS expectations far lower, at least in their fans' eyes, than Collingwood so Bucks may be under greater pressure. If his godfather wasn't the President he would be gone already (or maybe never got the gig).

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
