Round 8 Non MFC games

Shame about the weather in Mebourne and that Benjamin is not playing but it's great to have a couple of good teams playing on Friday night.

Hawks should do it but the Swans have a way of doing the unexpected.

From an MFC viewpoint I'm tending towards a Hawthorn win as it will bring the Swans firmly into that 6-12 category. (Have almost given up on us vying for top 4 so the big 4 whoever they are may as well power away. Win them all up till the bye and my optimism might return.)

I'm still hopeful of a top 4 finish and am hoping the Swans, GWS, North, Port and Pies all get up as well as the Lions, Blues and Saints!   Go all the underdogs, Suns excepted!

i can't believe hawthorn are so good already AGAIN

clarkson is clearly the modern coaching marvel

There's an article in the Hun purporting a 12 week mini rebuild miracle. 

 Oh they're a lucky team at Hawthorn ?

Certainly looks that way - must also be a tremendous motivator for the players. His Demon heritage is on show!

yes.. Mr Lightning Rod himself

May choose a player from each game and see if we can go cryptic .. it is cold after all !

 

I think the hawks will just win and tomorrow it would be fantastic if the blues knocked off there bombers. The pressure on the club and the coach would swell and it would wreck there week for there 1993 reunion.

Hawks look good, but a long way from great.  Not convinced by a lot of their younger players and the players that are coming in are not as good as the players departing.

Finals team, not a premiership team.

 

(Would give my right and left to have Clarkson at the Dees though)

Hawthorn having one of our quarters. Dominating but then concede a goal every time the other team goes inside 50.

What do Sydney do that they keep developing all these kids into potential superstars?

There recruiting is top notch and they don’t rush them into AFL footy 

Who do we hope wins?

1) Always nice to see Hawks lose.

2 a) if Sydney lose we go ahead of them if we win

2 b) Sydney have a soft 4 weeks coming up so they’ll be hanging around top 4 by late June even if they lose 2nite.

IMO Sydney will win.

Except they kinda do - Ronke is another rookie selection for them who has debuted early the year after being recruited, like Papley before him, and seemingly half their backline

Then there’s Florent and Hayward, plus academy gifts like Heeney and Mills

Irs just extraordinary the way they come on so quick up there


This is the first Friday night game im watching until the end. Its usually over by now or it's boring.  But this has been a good game considering the conditions today. 

The amount of times Frawley hasn’t killed the spoil tonight is staggering. Jelly wrists.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • PREGAME: Collingwood

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
