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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
