Today is our last chance to salvage the season.   Hawks will be out for blood after last years semi final loss to us.

 

Players to watch

Melbourne

Declan Keilty -  finally making his Melbourne debut.  A 194 cm athlete who can take a big mark and play either end

Jay Lockhart -  has produced some exciting moments in just a few games with some lovely goals

Christian Petracca -   we continue to wait for a massive game from him.  Will he play midfield today with Viney out?

 

Hawthorn

Tom Scully -   someone please clean him up (with a fair hit of course)

    Good morning all

    I can’t overstate my excitement for today. Get to be in the rooms before the game for the jumper presentation then it’s meeting up with all the friends and family for the big day.

    Lets hope we bring the heat today and get the win.

    The season is done but we really need a win to gain respect and to get the club back on track. 

    I hope Gawn spews on Scully at some point and I hope we see Keilty in the circle covered in gaterade post game!

    go Dees

    Just changed my tip to Melbourne. 

    Still have this feeling we’ll be embarrassed again today.

    Have a great day Drunkn, and best of luck to your brother. Hope he kills it. Try to get a photo of the jumper presentation and post it here if you can.

    We've come down from the northern rivers for this one.

    Stoked that Dec is getting his chance. 

    We must be due to put in a good one.

    Go Dees 

    Soak it up and I hope we put in a game to remember for you all @Drunkn167

    Got to shut down the Hawks run and spread. They'll be doing the switch across the backline at every opportunity. We cannot be slow to react to this again.

    If we use our inside 50s well for once, might be in with a chance.

    Hawks by six Mr. Shadow

    Just reflecting on Amber's (Pink lady ambassador) address to the assembled team this week from the club site. If that doesn't spark some response ... !  Actually the virtual pair of us are virtually about to run through a virtual brick wall ourselves!

     We wish to count ourselves among others to quote Amber " as the type of supporters who are not going to abandon ship when things get tough" 

    Expecting an improved team performance this afternoon at the 'G with greater determination and fight.

    Not a very inspiring morning weather wise thus far. Unfortunately I associate this type of cold,  wet weather to an absolute pantsing. 

    Hope it clears up!

    Just hope we have reached our nadir last week and we start to improve. Or else its official we are back to the Schwabovian nightmare. Time to turn our season around is still on our side but only just.

    I have this strange feeling we might win. I can find no logical explanation for this.

    Realistically we are no chance 6-8 goal loss . Out of form and 8 of our best 22 sitting in the stands. Not sure things can get much worse. Cursed this club!!

     

    I have no idea what to except today. Ive gone back to that Im not excited feeling. If we win great, if we lose well it's not surprising. 

    Interesting to see if Goody changes up positions again today.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
