So both Essendon and Hawks lost/losing, all of a sudden the Dons win vs Hawks Rd1 looking a lot less impressive, hoping today's performance is a more realistic assessment of where the Bombers are.

No doubt. Essendon are ordinary. Don't let their win over Brisbane count for much either.

We won't see anymore players who want to 'play finals' flocking to Hawthorn anytime soon.

Indeed and by there same count our win vs Carlton looking better- showed real grit to come back and beat them, something the Dons lack 

What 10 goal suns 3rd q!!

66 Points LOL

Hawks will be winless on the bottom of the ladder tonight, wowee!

Hawks are in for a world of pain no 1st pick this year, no kids coming through I think they made a mistake bringing in Mitchell and omeara, they will probably lose Burgoyne, hodge, Gibson they have no depth will need a full rebuild 

Keep asking the missus if she's going to jump ship and come over to the MFC.

Did she change her mind and ask for a merger?

Clarkson's genius might have peaked

Nah, just a marriage. One day before the Essendon game.

Lol, it just occurred to me, if they finish on the bottom, they get the spoon but not the first round draft pick. Haha, well done, Clarko, you crazy little man.

Gary comes out and tells everyone to go and get blessed.

Looks like trading in O'Meara and Mitchell for their first and second round draft picks was a big, big mistake. Clarko has the runs on th board to make a play like that and demand the boards support but it looks like he was in denial about the end of the Hawks era. They're well down already and their rebuild won't begin properly until 2018 when they get back into the pointy end of the draft

Damn shame 

saints must be loving this.

It's a shame to see the Hawks getting smashed!!! I was hoping they could win the flag this year. They haven't won it for so long.

Mitchell has been one of their only consistent players so far this year.  Not a mistake to get him, but could be a mistake with O'Meara.  He has time on his side but the injuries seemed to have taken away that 'X-factor' that he had a few years ago.

I'm sure they'll get a compensation pick to soften the blow. Poor buggers haven't had a good go of it of late.  

Only three undefeated teams at the end of round 3.  I don't rate the Tigers basis who they've played (including WCE who just aren't competitive on the MCG) and as per the post match thread, the Cats are underwhelming.  So yesterday's loss is hurting less now and our draw is looking even more favourable.  If we can get the injury list under control and manage through the Gawn-less months, we could hit September in very good shape...

Post of the week.

It's science.

Hawthorn are done. They gave everything for O'Meara, including their first round pick in this years draft (which will be pick 1).

Someone may be able to remind me who it was, but I'm sure I heard a commentator mention during the week that Essendon is now everybody's second favourite side. Nothing could be further from the truth I suspect. I, for one, despise them. Drug cheats who were effectively rewarded with the number one pick in the land. Pure and simple.

Quite a number of these drug cheats will run on to the field today (please don't tell me that gobbledygook that none had an inkling as to why they had to continually head off site).

I hope they lose today.

I heard that too. 

I hate Essendrug with every fibre of my body. 

May they lose everything forever

don't tell me who i like Dick Head
