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!

    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.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
