    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
