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

    The Aints know what is on the line. They won’t lose with Ratts in charge

    Why should we get 3 chances??

    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

    Agreed. he punch to Gawn should have been a fine.  blatently trying to get our best player out of the game

    results should have been out yesterday so I assume he got nothing

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

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
