    Come on Hawthorn you are playing a second rate Essendon team

    The Hawks aint that good either.  Pretty poor back 50

    Although the Hawks are pretty well organised behind the ball they are also pretty slow in defensive transition on a fast rebound.  Pedestrian mid field

    Hi MT64. Have you seen the footage of Ibrox rocking on Thursday night ? This is the footage of the gantry where the cameraman was sitting shaking after the game. 

     

    Damn,,,you'd want to trust the engineers took that into account in their design..

    Hawthorn look like a shadow of the side that discovered the blueprint to beating the reigning premiers.

    The bombers have stretched them on the switch in this second half then played daring footy cutting it back through the middle more often

    Peter Wright is one of the most improved player in the league this season

    One of the best kicks for goal in the league

    It’s so embarrassing the way broadcasters sell ludicrous hope to the big sides. It’s why Essendon supporters think they’ll win the flag from 13th every year - because nobody has the sack to tell them they aren’t good enough.

    Maybe Sam Mitchell should have put as much effort into Essendon as he did with us

    Imagine  if we didn’t put the cue in the rack in the last quarter against the Hawks. Two out of three games they completely lose the plot in the last quarter. They was plenty of percentage for harvesting.

    Fingers crossed for both bombers and hawks to land in 9-12 by end 22. No man’s land…

    no finals 

    no super draft picks

    mediocrity for the next few years.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
