    He has a GF medal to hange around his neck which is something his contempories at the MFC will never have.

    Dont feel sorry for him

    Too bad St Kilda own their pick, what a gift it will be for them.  Hopefully they pick another McCartin.

    I have admired Hawthorn for 40 years however I dont feel very sad for them at present.

    May they lose every game this year.

    I would be very worried if they still haven't won a game when we play them in a few weeks.

    It's not the losses that I find interesting. It's the way they've lost.

    They've now only won 1 of their last 8 games.

    Cyril Riolo seems to be struggling this season. I wonder if he needs a fresh start elsewhere to re-ignite his passion.

    Maybe Lewis could get in his ear and the Hawks would be keen to part ways to start their rebuild.

    I have no sympathy for the hawks.

    And James Frawley go and suffer in your jocks you grub.

    I feel really sorry for O'Meara and Mitchell, who would have already cleared a spot on the mantle piece to put their cheap premiership spoils.

     

     

     

    Nah, not really.

    Lost all confidence.  Old and virtually bereft of young talent.

    4 Flags.  I'd take the flags.

    I think they need a re build and will probably trade a couple of players at years end.

    Poor Chip will have to live through another rebuild. Fortunately his staying power and leadership qualities will see the Hawks right.

     

    Observation: Loved his little tanty as Hawkins marked just before he kicked his 3rd goal.

    I don't like the Cats but seeing the Hawks get dismembered in that last quarter was pure fkn' art.

    Not sure who they'll trade, but you would think at least two of Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson will call it quits at the end of the year.  Their list as a whole is looking light on for talent, especially in the key position areas, and after this year they will see even more experience disappear from the list.

    I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest, but it was inevitable that they would take a fall after 4 flags.

    And get a bag of chips for them, surely?

    They might get something for Poppy, Breust, Sicily, Rioli and Smith, but they can't expect too much. Rioli is almost 28 and Smith is almost 29. They might have to package them to get a first rounder this year, but they really have no room for error with their recruiting over the next few years.

    It makes me very happy to say they're in for some pain. Desperately got to use this time to convert the missus.

    The question should probably be did they overrate the guys they currently have on their list? Surely, O'Meara and Mitchell were never going to compensate for the loss in experience of Mitchell and Lewis.

    You've gotta say Clarkson's either misread it massively or his arrogance got the better of him. Neither scenario looks upon him favourably, but I doubt he'll be at the Hawks much longer. I hope he doesn't make his way to Collingwood.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
