To borrow a line off the great commentator Peter Landy:

If someone said at half time that Hawthorn would put 94 points on Port you’d probably call the police on them.

    Final quarter of Port/Hawthorn has the mood of a carcass being slung onto the hook to bleed out post-slaughter.

    Next up, Collingwood/West Coast. Basically pushing the whole pig directly into the bacon slicer.

    An afternoon of football.

    I love the psychological impact of this on Port. It just asks questions of them. Allowing 11 goals in a quarter and a half.

    Very entertaining reading Port forum post Hawks game.  

    They've gone completely ballistic at Hinkley. Hawks allegedly kicked 9 goals in 12 minutes !

    I find that hard to believe.

    I'm expecting nothing from the Eagles. It would be good if they could soften up the pies, inflict a couple of injuries though.

    Reminds me of that scene in Saw 2 with the pig sluicer…

    De Goey might get a fine if it’s deemed low contact??

    Not a chance.

    Any concussion, mutiple weeks.

    Let the ball pass him, elected to bump - and flushed his shoulder direct into his cheek.

    Text book.

    No concussion and he still gets a minimum one, maybe two.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
