Hawks 2 points behind the Blues 

their 3 year rebuild looking a lot better than Carlton’s 20 years one 😂😂

Didnt think the blues could drop much further than 14th but 16th is there for the taking.

    Must say the live ladder is doing my head in with games played by the various teams. Not looking forward to the world of 19 teams.

    Good result for us.

    Longer term, Hawks have drafted well and looks like Mitchell is a good coach. They won't be cellar dwellers for long which is a pity cos i really dislike the Hawks and would love to see them languish for decade or more.

    Lions have the softest run through to September of any team.  6 Gabba games mostly easy kills and big % boosters. A couple of winnable games in Melbourne and theyre still a huge chance for top 4.

    How the hell did we lose to them in the semi last year  ffs.

    It means nothing if they can’t win away from home. And history suggests they cannot.

    Lions looked tired and slow. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy they lost but I reckon this plays into the loading argument. They’re a way better side than that performance and guaranteed come Sept they will be a very very good side.

    There's a couple of players who have really stagnated at the Lions. Zak Bailey looked like he could be a star at one point. He may be a player needing a change of scenery - i.e. Dees. Not sure of his contract situation.

    So the 2022 Hawks must have gone pretty well huh?

    Once in a while the hawks do something good for us.    Juys need to the blues to somehow crush the druggies to keep that points gap.

    No fan of Adelaide but I hope that every arrogant Eagles supporter that I ever encountered in my trips out west are miserable watching their team these days. 

    I lived there for 2 years, and couldn't agree more. One-eyed, ill informed, back country, red necked fools who are loud, dumb and hyper annoying.

    You'd be disappointed if you were a Suns supporter with Rankine. Half-hearted squib with them.

    They should have got both the King brothers that draft.  They’ve done pretty well with the Rankine pick the second time around though - Humphrey is a gun.

    Um sorry just saw the Hawks lions score. How did that happen 

    The Lions are loading for September and the hawks jumped them.

    I think they'll make the Top 4 but disagree with you about the soft draw. They should thrash WCE in Brisbane R17 but I can't see them having big percentage boosters in too many other games. The have Away games against Melbourne (at the MCG), Collingwood (Marvel !?) & Fremantle. They play St Kilda twice (H&A) and St Kilda don't concede big scores. They also are playing Gold Coast away. They'll have to win more games than Melbourne to finish above us.

    Eagles are bringing the game into disrepute.

    • 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.
