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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
