Let's spare a thought for Chip Frawley?

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

A very cheap medal it is too

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.

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.

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
