    Unfunded!!!! One of not many who aren’t at present. 
    Maybe Jeff’s bum is getting a little tight with the cost of Dingley and lesser revenue from the gate. Now you know how it feels….

    Don’t know what the Tigers are complaining about. It’s just as easy to get down to Yoyo after a game at Marvel. 

    But seriously - this will be there 7th night game on TV in 9 rounds. They’d be well advised to shut up. They have been looked after incredibly well the last few years.

    Jeff going for his own version of the prison bar jumper distraction from the team being rubbish.

    And always stacks of room to spread out. I used to love going to an empty mcg on Mother’s Day with my kids! Witnessed some appalling games ?

    Oh I’m sorry Jeff, is it difficult to have a successful financial model with a team that’s down the bottom and playing on commercially bad time slots/days? 

    I really hope Tassie dump them.

    But, but, but, I thought Hawthorn were...

    A big club.

    With hardened, loyal fans who weren't at all soft.

    Financially well organised.

    Not inflated by favouritsm at all.

    Not dependent on pokies revenue.

    And also, of course, on Mother's Day -

    The family club.

    Personally, I quite enjoyed reading this article/aspect on the Dorks walking in our shoes:

    The Hawks took the wrong path at ‘a fork in the road’. It’ll take ‘a long time’ to recover

    https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/hawthorn-hawks/afl-2021-hawthorn-problems-rebuild-jordan-lewis-drafting-jeff-kennett-comments-analysis-afl-360-latest-news/news-story/75bb5bfdade971e552538f35f724d3e6

    I won't be truely satisfied though, until they have gone 12+ years without making finals and then another 50 years without another premiership.  Maybe they would be relocated and have become the Tassie Devils before that last part though.  We might have our own version of the prison bars saga in that instance.

    So is there anything old mate Jeff isn't having a winge about.  He's also cracking the sads about the Dorks not getting an AFLW side any time soon.  Seems he's just cottened onto the importance of the female sponsorship/supporter growth market and now must have his (larger than deserved) piece of the pie, after not giving two shiiits about womens footy for the last however many, like forecer years.

    Again, in the words of our good freind Cards:

    Lucky for them the AFLW expansion to all current AFL sides has been approved, can’t wait for the Tassie Hawks W side!

    Rod I was going to reply again to say I honestly hope those 2 sides along with Geelong and Collingwood have 10+ years in the wilderness, just putrid, deplorable years. No sponsors, terrible coaches, grasping at anything for relevance, there kids turning away from the club they love to follow the power clubs, people saying we’re they’re “second team”…. Then they might know how it’s felt as a Dees member/fan.

    That should definitely come next, force them to do that trip down the highway. Watch Jeff crack the sooks then!

    (As a little side point I think it’s complete bull that only certain clubs go down there. Richmond, Carlton, Essendon, and the Pies should be copping away matches there as well.)

    Yes, Kennett so often behaves like a spoilt child when it comes to the Hawks, not least with AFLW. The likes of hawthorn, Sydney chose not to join the AFLW when it was formed, largely for chauvinistic reasons, and objections about distracting resources away from the men’s competition. Now of course it is becoming successful beyond anyone’s wildest dreams they are screeching about how unfair it all is that they are not let in for fear of being left behind, from an image and financial perspective.

    Leaving them out in the cold for a couple more years they only have themselves to blame. It couldn’t happen to more deserving [censored].

    Well MFC isn't as we were shafted to this  role up to about 2014/15 snd just as Jeff K has said it's not financially viable Generally playing an interstate team on Mother's Day.

    We complained and now don't get that gig and the Hawks are also unhappy.

    Point out  when we last won On Mothers Day and the results and crowd?

    You are condemning the Club although in a much better situation now than say 2014 to a financial burden if you selfishly think we should be rostered in this time slot.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
