Coat tails of the final tilt mate...

Their zone and midfield pressure stifled the supply to Kennedy that day. Frawley was a good player though.

    Hodge was " admirable " today, we were reminded by the commentators in the final quarter. Within 10 seconds, he had kicked into the man on the mark and handballed the ball straight to a Geelong player. He has been a champion but he's gone now. There are too many holes in the Hawthorn team now, not being filled by the likes of Hartung,Sicily, Langford or Vickery. Is it too much to hope for the Weagles to deliver another 86 point thumping to the beleaguered Hawks  next week??? We can only hope !!!!

    Geeze.. there's being bitter and the there's just being pathetic.. The guy served his time at Melb, played under the worst management of the clubs history still became AA.. 

    Left (which we ended up getting with picks 2&3 with his compo) 

    And you label his premiership "cheap" the fact that you label a premiership cheap when the club we support hasn't been able to achieve since TV was Black and White..

    I am not saying he wasn't. But he jumped on board to ride the last wave..

    most of the hard work was already done.

    Whorethorn deserved it's 4 flags. Chip jumped on board late when most of the work was done

    thus i consider it a cheap flag compared to a 2016 Bulldog Flag

    And their first round pick belongs to the saints. Sainters will be joyous with every Hawks loss.

     

    Suck it Hawks.

    Yeah.. winning a third flag in a row.. something rarely done.. incredibly cheap compared to winning 1 flag in 60 years..

    HAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

     

    I take a small piece of pride knowing that it was definitely Melbourne that finally cracked them and made them come crumbling down.

    Before Melbourne beat them - 9 wins in a row, just two losses for the season to round 18.

    Since Melbourne beat them - 2 wins, 7 losses.

    We can pin this one up next to Melbourne breaking Essendon, way back in the actual drug-cheating season.

    Before losing to Melbourne, Round 10, 2012 - 8 wins, 1 loss.

    After losing to Melbourne - 3 wins, 9 losses.

     

    As a club, we achieve two things for other clubs. Getting their kids rising star nominations, and intervening on behalf of the football demiurge.

    Our compo for Frawley was pick 3. We got pick 2 for finishing where we did.

    No you misunderstand me. Whorethorn did all the work

    chip just joined the ride late

    A couple of questions going through my head:

    Are the hawks playing for a priority pick?

    Paul Roos the Hawthorn coach for 2018?

    Take off your eye patch and pure jealousy of a better club. I got what you were implying, I just think it's a ridiculous thing to say.

    It's sort of hollow celebrating their demise.

    You want to, but deep down those 4 flags in 8 years don't give you much reason to.

    Thanks Einstein.. I was saying we were able to get two picks inside the top 3 instead of 1.

    I have seen everyone of their putrid flags since '71. 

    Worked with 3 Whorethorn Supporters who made my life hell in '87 & '88 ON A DAILY BASIS

    I have no sympathy for Chip or Whorethorn Supporters

    we could have used Chip on Saturday but he switched off in Mid 2014

    I would be more than happy to be 0 & 4 if we had recently won FOUR PREMIERSHIPS.

    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.

    Someone like poppy might hold some value to a team like the giants who don't really have a genuine small forward but is contending for a flag, I suspect they should try and get at least 2 top15 picks this year if they can

    need a quick injection of young talent onto that list

    I don't mind watching them fall apart.

    Never liked them much and their flags are irrelevant at this stage.

    Their demise is quite enjoyable.despite their succces.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
