    A lot of unknowns on this list Werridee, hoping they stay down for a few more years.!!

    Without Mitchell, O’Meara and Gunston that look very raw and young.
     

    Bottom 4 for sure

    Backline looks decent, including Hardwick and DGB on the bench.  The ball is going to spend a lot of time down there with that young midfield.

    Building a backline with plenty of dash. Would say that they are still 2 years off finals but then they will probably come out and make top 4.

    I won't go into depth on the Hawks the way I have with some other teams, or for some of the other teams that I think are clearly not going to feature in the top 2/3rds of the ladder.  As far as their propects go they're on the nose with punters and as far as the draw goes every match they play will be difficult, about the only interesting thing is that they play North twice which will be interesting as both these teams are the two leading contenders for the spoon, but Clarko will be simply desperate to beat his old mob.

    On paper it's hard to see where they've improved the list in the short term other than bringing in Meek.  Yes the defence looks ok until you realise there were only 3 other sides that coughed up more points than the Hawks last year.  The main interest on Hawthorn from the footy world will be what happens now.  In terms of rebuilds does Mitchell elevate himself to the likes of Clarko and Dimma or does he join Neeld, Bolton, Teague, and Rutten?  

    They've traded away their two top CP winners from last year  in Mitchell and O'Meara as well as three time premiership player Liam Shiels- either it's very brave by Mitchell or deliberate engineering of the list to get better draft picks in the short term maybe ahead of an announcement on a 19th team.    The jury is still out on Worpel who has massive disposal issues.  Jai Newcomb has been a surprise packet, but not enough to carry the midfield in the absence of other genuine ball winners - particularly if Worpel can't get back to his B&F form.   They also traded away a three time leading goal kicker and considering Mitch Lewis is unlikely to play much of the first half of the season -so there's a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of Bruest and Wingard and quite frankly the later looks to be playing only to bolster his superannuation, so it's all on the 32 year old to kick a winning score. 

    I picked the the Hawks to win the spoon last year and they jumped up and won 8 games - with the departures though I'm doubling down having gone a year too early with my prediction.

    Hawks should win the spoon but Essendon will give them a run for their money as will North.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
