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!

    Hawthorn just.

    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 

  • Quote

    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: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
