Jeez, imagine if this 17th placed team with 10 of their best 22 out were like us…enjoying a full fit list including some of the superstars of the game. 

 

If you were to watch this game without knowing ladder position, you would 100% think the Hawks are #1 and we're #17, and the Hawks haven't put their foot down yet.

    Any chance Goodwin can start coaching and stop watching replays on an ipad!?

    I've turned off, its unwatchable, we are not a top 4 team, don't let our ladder position fool you

    I hate to say this… but something amazing will have to happen to not make this game a negative.

    Bloody lamentable.

    WTF is going on? Can anyone take a clean possession and if they do could someone give off cleanly to one of our guys in a position to do something positive? What a fricking mess that quarter was, no system, just a slog. Where are our A graders, Oliver and Tracc to get some system going?

    Free kick hawthorn making a come back. 
    Don’t care if we win this tonight …. We cannot be serious about winning many finals this year. We crack under any sign of pressure on the ball. Every team can see this clear as day. 

    You've played like garbage but you need forget it, 1 quarter. Get in there and play like it means something for crying out loud.


    We will have lost to 15th 16th 17th

    Really disappointed in our leaders tonight, where lacking any composure at all and this is against a wooden spoon contender.

    And people don’t think we should call Clarkson. The man is a genius. Getting out coached and out played badly. 


    The way we play week to week ...

    Lets say as a hypothetical we won the flag this year.
    I'd back it in we'd drop out've the 8 next year.
    They players would decide they'd done enough and slacken right off.

    Calling Clarkeson would be a ballsy move but I'd like it.
    He wouldn't stand for that sheet.


    Can’t blame the umpires here. Hawks are hungrier than us. Winning contested possession. Winning the tackle count. They’re working harder and deserve to be in front.

    We should win still, but what a [censored] performance this has been. Coaches need to work out how to motivate the players. The mental fragility still exists.

    Showing us up as probable pretenders tonight.  Good teams don't struggle this badly against a bottom two team.

    Any chance we can kick to a lead?

    I’ve seen losses where we’ve played better than tonight. [Censored] off Melbourne.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
