Good to see I'm not the only one thoroughly unimpressed with Geelong.

Now of course they'll probably come out next week and play a manic fast game or something, but if this is how they play next week, I like the chances of our defensive set up against their ball movement.

Just tuned in. Is it just a scrappy game or is it the 'state of the game' conversation the commentators are suggesting?

 

If Clarkson can rebuild Hawks he truly is a genius. Should have taken the big money and gone elsewhere. They are ordinary

Just two mid to lower tier teams; Cats are missing their cream and Hawks are just bog ordinary 


Whatever the umpires have done to Geelong this game, that free kick against them for a "hold" in defence is just terrible. That was just strong bodywork from the Geelong defender. No hold. Never should have been penalised.

Selwood rubbish again 

Absolute stager. Make everything look worse and never get called on it. Good part Frosty plays for Hawks


The down field free is there to penalise players who thump players who have disposed of the ball. But those [censored] umps pay it for a slight push in the back maybe a millisecond after disposal. 

I've seen glaciers move quicker than Geelong. 

I know it’s just a game but I feel like I genuinely hate Joel Selwood.

Thank god Frosty plays for the Hawks.

I've not seen too many worse performances by an individual than this.

That said, I hope karma bites Geelong here. Their game style is awful and they'll get destroyed against better teams.

They've stood in tackles a lot today and hung on to the ball for ages.

Hope we pay attention to really pinning the arms this week.

Higgins hammy. 
Hoping 29 and 26 for Cats do theirs.

Add ruining football again to the list of reasons to hate Geelong. As boring as sport gets.

No excuses whatsoever next Sunday 

We play hard and fast Footy for 4 Quarters, we win

Come on Cats bring this one home so I can apply the strange logic that a win here will make you less motivated next week.

 

 Getting Geelong off a 6 day break with no Dangerfield Higgins and Rohan...and playing boring [censored] football

If I were a Hawthorn supporter I don't think I could deal with playing CJ and Frost in the same backline. Both are the same - they take off helter skelter but make ridiculous harebrained decisions. Like that 50. He's faster than his teammates, which is useless to the teammates.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
