May went down right in front of me, and from my vantage looked like ribs. He looked very, very sore.

Personally I think we are playing terrible football.   Hawthorn are shirt. And we let them get close 

Sam Mitchell’s gameplan is play ugly, play dirty

    reckon having wizard as a nickname is a hinderance rather than a help coming into AFL footy. You need to earn a nickname like that.

    Didn't do Jeff Farmer any harm.

     

    Good half. Smashing clearances and contested ball. Setting up incredibly well behind the ball, so much that the Hawks can't even move it. 

    Scores from stoppage healthy.

    He was definitely down for quite awhile. Didn’t look good 😬

    Hawks came out hard in that quarter. Our defence stood up really well. Need our mids to get back to basics.

    Went from way ahead on most stats at quarter time to near even.

    Lucky that the Hawks couldn't put any scoreboard pressure on.

    Need a better third quarter

    No, it's playing to a plan when you don't have the cattle you make sure the opposition don't score.

    Lower the eyes going forward. Maybe have a defensive forward on Sicily, or even a decoy forward to try and drag him away from the ball.

    A dollar for every time commentator said Hawks may win the quarter.

    Anyone watching at home; any updates on May? 

    In a lot of pain, no plan of being subbed just yet.

    I've just watched the replay on Kayo, but haven't been following the half time updates.

    It looked like rib area was hit and that's where he grabbed, but the impact seemed a bit broad (shin/leg against side of body) rather than sharp (ie knee point directly digging in).

    I'm not a doctor or biomechanist but it looked more like a heavy collision than sharp rib impact. Hopefully bad bruising or stitch from impact rather than anything more serious?

    He looked a lot better when resting on the bench.

    Only 1 goal that quarter.  Chandler and Brown not doing a lot

    Agree re Brown.  Not reading it as well this week? 

    Chandler's brought immense pressure around the arc though imv.

    For a small fella he does struggle to get away from his opponent on the receive at times and capatilise which is a tad worrying.  Not easy at this level of course.  Needs a bit more strength through legs & core maybe?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
