I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled. 

If the dogs get rolled, they could be playing for a top 4 spot against Port. Brisbane are currently 2 games behind them.  Charlie Dixon will have a field day if the dogs play like this.

    Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

    Port win twice 

    Geelong win twice.

    If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

    I just can’t see Port beating the Dogs but gees they’re playing poor footy so who knows. 
    All I know is we can win the next two and finish first and that’s what matters.

    I have it engrained in my mind that we simply lose to Geelong in Geelong.

    Whether it’s Zac Thuoey kicking a goal after a siren or losing by 100 pints 2 games after a prelim appearance. Bad things happens down there to Melbourne.

    Be delighted to be proven wrong.

    Port could most certainly beat the Dogs.

    Clarko showing the Competition that he is still The Master Coach 

    Have Whorethorn done the right thing….?

    Big Shoes need to be filled. Kennett is responsible….

    Time will tell whether they have done the right thing or not. Regardless, I've always felt that any decision Kennett makes is about putting himself front and centre.

    I think Mitchell will be a good coach but history tell us that Clarko still had 1 more crack at rebuilding a side. 
    I think Clarko as game day and head coach with Mitchell as development and senior assistant would have been lethal but then ego and money will get in the way of most things.

    Absolutely. This is all on Jeffrey Gibb Kennett 

    Mitchell is being thrown to the wolves with a very average list. If he survives it will be astounding 

    Box Hill is not the same…

    Stuart out for the year could help.

    For some reason I thought Mitchell was lobbying in the background to take over the role. If he was not white-anting possibly the best coach of all time he certainly could have told Kennett that he was not interested in the job yet.

    How is he being thrown to the wolves?

    Yep. Mitchell as Assistant for 2-3 years. Not at Box Hill would have been my agenda. 
    But we watch and plan to beat them each year. 
    We owe them decades of pain

    If port split clearances the dogs will be in strife.  Port have gone tall this week with Dixon, Georgiades, Marshall and Ladhams. Hinkley is just playing them into form in preparation for the kindergarten sized dogs defence.

    He isn’t ready, although he thinks he is, I am sure he has Convinced Jeffrey of that.

    Kennett hasn’t wanted Clarko in the chair for years, for whatever reason. Hopefully Clarkson will get another top job. 
    He hasn’t finished his tenure. That is abundantly clear. The Hawks 22 are very average at this point…

    I reckon the toughness of the dogs is questionable. Bont McCrae etc are amazing but as far as toughness goes I’d back us in every day if the week

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
