    I just arrived at beer deluxe and the place is packed. Asked if I could sit down at a reserved table that was only half full of Hawks supporters while I wait for my sister and her bloke. “Only if you buy me a beer” one of them says. 

    Sat down with my back to him.

    End of story.

    A bit of civility wouldn’t go astray.

    Kennett aside I have nothing against the Hawks. If we go out, this is the team I would hope to win. 

    Purely hypothetically of course.

    I'm also sick of everyone at work today saying how Melbourne should thrash Hawthorn because they  we have 2 of their our best 22 out. Anything less is a failure apparently.

    So far, it looks like the bay we’ve been allocated is full of Hawks, this should be a lot of fun and as I type this I received the following text....

    Gee wiz someone hates you! ?


    Obviously a huge night for the club. There are some things that I'm looking forward to finding out:

    1. Do the coaching staff have good alternative plans? The way we played last week might not get it done. Knowing Clarkson the Hawks will have plenty of tricks. They'll eat our space and pressure at all opportunities. How do we break through it?

    2. Our defence was excellent last week. But the individual defenders still seem to allow lead up chest marks into obvious spaces from stopped plays (i.e. when the opp has a mark or free 60m-70m from goal). Has this been addressed? This is a Hawthorn strength and they may burn us.

    3. Last time we played Hawthorn they had something like 115 tackles (granted it was wet). I expect them to go 100+ tonight. That is going to make it very hard for us. The only way to counter it is by returning the favour. Do we have it in us?

    Been a great few weeks for the MFC. Let's hope the players keep it going tonight. At the least make it a genuine battle.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
