    I don't see the need that so many people have to take pot-shots at injured players.  Lever had zero possessions this round because he did his knee playing for our club after coping months of abuse from Adelaide fans for joining us.

    O'Meara was excellent today - absolutely useless in his first year at Hawthorn.

    All, these wonderful recruits haven't won them a final in a few years and were certainly of no help to them when we beat them by 5 goals last September.

     

    It was a good, exciting match that went down to the wire.  Enjoy it.

    If we are comparing veterans with Carlton, there's a quality element to consider. Right now only Gawn and Melksham are without doubt among our better players, even Jetta was out of form before his injury.

    For Carlton, Murphy, Kruezer and Simpson are absolutely crucial players, and in two week's time all three will be over-30.

    Still, no pretense here, Carlton's young onball group is spectacular, led by the current best inside midfielder in the game Cripps and the onball all-rounder teenage brilliance of Walsh, neither of which you could sensibly trade for any other player on offer.

    I think a certain comparison can be made between Carlton and the pre-resurgence Richmond. They have a group of currently young or youngish players who can provide the core, in the event that in a few year's time they hit a jackpot for a couple of drafts and trade sessions.

    Fair enough noted...just wanted to highlight the tale of 2 clubs

    On another note Hawks have got 2 former number 1 picks & have won 4 flags since 08 go figure!

    Murphy was terrible today.

    From what I saw I agree. He seems to be playing not to get hurt and avoid body contact and his disposal has become like ours.

    I really don't think he is that bad, if fact is anyone that bad.

    Pretty clear...

    We've had poor results trading, so why trade an average performer and expect to get something better??

    He still has trade cachè by virtue of reputation and rare flashes of brilliance. We can get a decent pick for him and trade/draft a better player, perhaps in a position of more pressing need. 

    My view is twelve months from now he will be worth less than we can get now.

    Or other teams recruiting departments see through his "flashes of brilliance" and our desperation and offer SFA...

    Or worse we take SFA and another team realises the potential we almost had a-la Howe, Dunn, Martin, ...

    Not really the thread for it.  

    But its more important for the club to persist with Trac and develop a culture and system of bringing the best out of players.  More important than a potential trade.  FYI: I would keep him as you can see its there.

    A club in the 5-8 range on the ladder would go for him thinking he can help unlock their premiership window. Port Adelaide under Hinkley comes readily to mind. 

    We can still get pick 13-16 for him if we trade now. Hardly SFA.

    Its a tough call I get it but the right one. He’s never going to be the player you dream/hope he will be. Doesn’t have the right mindset. Col Sylvia Mk2.

    Carlton you losers. Youy could have put the hawks at 2-4.   What a pathetic choke, now the Hawks will have their confidence up against us.

    So he can get Port Adelaide over the line for a flag, but not us..?

    I suspect Port will have learned their lesson dealing with players we want to offload - Jacky boy and Jimmy Toumpas!!

    Possibly. But never underestimate a desperate coach under pressure to recruit for immediate success.

    GWS is the other one. Leon Cameron can’t go round forever without silverware. Nor can they keep losing senior talent and keep topping up with high draft picks. They would take a good look at Petracca.

    I think so. A coach under pressure in the top half of the ladder would pay a mid to late first rounder. 14-18.

    Not seen in over a century of football until recently. I wonder what it was that was wrong with women that was preventing them umpiring, that has been cured now? ?

    No female urinals,  and masseurs,  back then...   and sports Bras ? ?

    the blues who have a whopping seven players aged 29 and over; they're not nearly as young and inexperienced as everyone makes out

    So what they have is...  plenty of Cap space coming up,  to cover their special young players as they start to grow into AFL men.

     They,  are going to catch us,  with our shorts at ankle level.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
