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.

    • 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.
