Hawkins has a history of “carelessly concussing and otherwise injuring opponents faces and heads. 
Of course “accidental” and the head isn’t really all that sacrosanct all the time. 

any news on Mays' injury??

 
 

Is this the same old Melbourne or have we improved. Cats are severely undermanned. It ours to win no excuses really.

    If we throw away this game we are the same old Melbourne and all supporters might as well switch off for the rest of the season and all future seasons

    Gone to hospital. Whole check/eye looks fractured. Not good.


    How does geelong with less possessions have 30 precent more frees than the other side?

    6 frees more in that qrt made a huge difference.

    Always happens against this yeam. Is it the crowd?

    Goody needs to point out it’s raining and over handballing when not required is silly. We can and should win this. But as always we make it as hard as possible. Cmon dees!!!


    Come on let's change the narrative a bit. It's going to be a workhorse effort

    Let’s see some of that maturity and resilience they keep harping on about.

    surely the review committee will look at this

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better 

    Umpiring a disgrace.

    But we lost our defence structure late in that quarter. For the last smith goal, when we lost the ball we had 3 mids all forward of the contest cheating.   Hopefully Goody resets them at 3 qtr time.

    Some awful decision making / execution that quarter.  The kick from outside 50 on the boundary from Chunk.  Tmac's decision to play on.  Jordan's decision to handball instead of taking the tackle at HF.

    Sprargo's inability to finish at goal earlier.  The kick from Ed on the flank was woeful

    Loved the holding the ball against Oliver in that quarter. It followed about 6 tackles on Geelong players in the same passage of play which were all called a ball up.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line 
 Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
