Hawks have been tanking for at least a month now.  I have gone right off Clarkson as next coach of the MFC.

Nah they are just crap, and long may it stay that way

    Or especially skills

    It's about skills

    Skills look better when it is dry, can't be no skills one week then good skills the next week, play freeo and Sydney at the Gabba and we win both games.

    “I understand that Essendon people think that Essendon should be better, but they’ve also got to understand that the competition challenges clubs now to work to the same rules – the draft and the salary cap. “No one team has any more right to be successful quicker than any other team, just because they’re a big-name club.”

    Just love that!  Big slap down to those entitled cheats.

    Thrashing them next week will be a delightful end to our year; not a substitute for finals but a good consolation prize.

    This "little person" mindset just proves that Worsfold never was a true Essendon man

    Their succession plan is going a treat so far! ?

    have to think he is trying to make excuses for his performance though. 16 years without a finals win, any club would not be happy with that.

    Thats hilarious.  Not even we went that long without a finals win when we finally broke the drought in 2018.

    Essendon are an irrelevant club.

    I try to add this in to every conversation I have. 
    I googled it just now and wrote “how long since” and ‘since Essendon won a final’ automatically came up! ?

    Hawthorn never cease to find a way to muck us up.

    Even when they are not playing them.

    It felt so good when the game was already decided to jump ship and support the dogs.

    Anyone know what Mumford got for the clothes-line on clarry?

    If the AFL is serious about concussion, he should get weeks for his supposed spoiling attempt where he just belted Gawn in the back of the head in I think the second quarter. Gawn was down for quite a while after it and Mumford was nowhere near the ball. 

    It's ridiculous how commentators just laugh at these punches to the head in a marking attempt. 'Making him earn it' rubbish. It is the accumulation of all those smaller hits that really add up, not just the ones where players get knocked out.

    I'd take an ageing Stratton over Chip or Frost anyday. No way it would have been Stratton's decision to retire

    Wouldn't go O'meara, doesnt strike me as leadership material.  they don't have many candidates... maybe Mitchell? he should be back to his best next year

    The very week after we learned Danny Frawley had brain damage. Hilarious.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
