    Not only is it critical to win the game but % may be vital come finals  

    Absolutely.  Might the the diff between a top four or two finish.  While it's important to stick to Goody's system, i hope the importance of putting the foot down is emphasised big time in this one.

    My mother in law is a mad Hawks fan. She told me last night she really hopes we don't stuff up and lose because she can't wait for us to beat Geelong in finals. 

    Hawks fans are done with 2021. 

    My ex father in law was a Hawk fan and he was the nastiest football bully [censored] you could ever imagine. Relentless recall of every dagger that meant way more to me than him. 

    For all of us born in the late 60s or early 70's make no mistake Hawthorn are the enemy. I hope we smash them by heaps and O'meara does a career ending knee. At a minimum!

    Yeah I get that at work a bit too, had a filth fan say it to me, as I work down Geelong way it’s mostly cats supporters. I’ll need a new job if we lost a GF to them.

    I’ll need a lot of rehab if we lost to them. My soul could not take it.

    Agreed.

    As well as our team has been playing over the course of the season and where we sit on the ladder, we still have losses to the Crows, Pies and GWS plus have been pushed all the way by Essendon. All currently bottom 10 teams.

    Can anyone really be 100% confident we will win? I don’t feel that yet.

    We are $1.08 to beat Hawthorn $8. Can’t ever remember seeing our odds so short.

    For as long as the Demons are doing well I will be looking for games with a chance to inflict at 186 on a 'deserving' opponent.

    Decapitating the Hawks sounds good to me.

    And it is time we began getting our attack in shape.

    Our family is half Geelong, half Melbourne. A GF or even finals loss to Geelong would be a nightmare in our family.

    The only Hawk is my wife who wouldn't even know when the Hawks are playing.

    I hope we pummel Hawthorn and I actually think we will.

    I like the sentiment, but barely anything I've seen from us this season suggests to me we are really up for getting anywhere near 186.

    I guess the one and only time we have handed out anything like a belting this season, it was against the Hawks and most of the scoring for our ~50 win against them came in just one quarter, but I'm just not sure I can see it happening.

    Would love to be proven wrong though.

    How good is it to be taken seriously by opposition supporters?! They are actually afraid of us. This is weird, I could get used to it though?

    The calibre of Hawthorn supporters.
    This fool got a clip after smacking a Melbourne supporters drink from his hand after getting done a couple years back.
    Then cried "Poor innocent me." to the media.

    I heard the other day that Hawthorn fans are currently enduring their 2nd longest premiership drought since 1971. It'll take more than a century of wooden spoons before I start feeling sorry for them!

    They'll be at the bottom for a while because they stuffed up there recruitment big time. Patton, Scully. Wingard (traded out burton to get him in). Chickens coming home to roost. Good luck Sam Mitchell. You'll need it.

    Fair enough. I hope he does 2 career ending knees in  the same incident then. This is Hawthorn.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
