At least West Coast fought hard and were tackling and working to move the footy right to the end. Hawthorn just stopped playing. Sam Mitchell has NFI. 

 

In other news, no Nenkurvis for Richmond either in two weeks time. 

There were literally moments of walking from Hawthorn. I'd be more entertained at a Coffee Club walkathon.

    Highest scoring quarter of any team so far this year. And it hadda be Jeremy Cameron Geelong. 😑

    And how is Cameron's dicky hamstring going?  Will it last a full year?  When / if it twangs bye bye Geelong.

    Where's Hawthorn's $500k fine, Gil?

    Taylor constantly suggesting that the Hawks have some chance. The game was over 10 minutes ago. What a moron.

    He is just following he script from Channel 7's narrative to pump the game up right until the bleeding obvious. Remember Coll v Bris. The Pies 40 odd points down with 40 seconds left and he asks Daisy do they still have a chance. MORON.

    Mackay got graded medium impact for that, and gets a week?

    what is happening to our game?

    Well tbh when I saw it, I thought a week. A giant runs in and uses his forearm to strike a smaller player on the side of the face, after he has got rid of the ball. Could have been a broken cheekbone, or even a concussion, when he didn’t need to touch him. Could have pushed him, or grabbed him, or actually not touched him. No need for an unexpected forearm to the face/head.

    Thats not footy.

    Agreed. Totally unnecessary and potentially very harmful. A week is perhaps even a little light, given what else we have seen this season so far.

    agree no need for it. 

    but the impact was low and not worthy of a week imo.

    But Kossie got 2 for the potential to cause injury. Same approach I suppose

    Never had his eyes on the ball. Plenty of time to size up the situation. Chose to hit high with both forearms.

    1-week seems more than reasonable.

    agree with all that

    what do you think about impact though?  if low it’s not a week

    Wasn't sure if the singular supporter was intentional, but gees it cracked me up.

    This Hawthorn team is worse than any Melbourne team under Neeld or Bailey. They have zero stars. The blokes they brought it, like Frost, Impey and Wingard are all C graders. They may have some young talent, but in my opinion they are headed the same route as the Dees circa 2009-2014. They are really really bad. Funny to hear Hodge still backing his mate Mitchell, but I reckon he will be gone in two years. 

    Maybe Clarko will have had enough at North Melbourne by then and they'll ask him to come back.

    If you were coaching Geelong who would you clear for some nice early draft picks to Hawthorn, seeing as they probably discussed that after the game, because there wouldn't have been much else to talk about.

    depends whether they upgrade it for potential harm

    that puts us into the realm of afl mysticism and lets face it the afl want the brownbaggers in the finals

    true.

    the mro always takes the lease controversial decision and leaves it to the appeals or tribunal to be hated. 

    it’s set up for him to get off imo

    Fair question. Given his size and momentum I'd rate it as medium.

    Personally I would agree with that, but under the current rules “potential to cause injury “lifts the grading and that is it.

    fair enough 

    the way i see the potential rule (trying to apply logic) is there must be sufficient speed or impact involved that there is potential for a worse outcome. like the kozzi incident. i don’t see that in the mackay incident

    Yeah. Interesting to compare approaches. Van Roo had to develop at Casey for 12 months before debuting. Mac is being asked to play as a lockdown defender on the opposition's most dangerous small in his fifth game!

    How on earth does McKay get off on that late hit. It is ridiculous, farcical and completely inconsistent with what we have seen in the past.

    But are we surprised…. not  one bit. Protected club.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
