Like most of you, I'm not a big fan of the bloke (Hi @Jaded No More, hi!!) but credit where it's due for Tom Hawkins who plays his 350th game today.  

It's a remarkable feat, particularly for a big bloke like him.

Fun fact:  according to a write up in today's 'Age', Hawkins eats a whole packet of double-chocolate Tim Tams before each game, which is not a dietary regimen we normally associate with top level sportspeople.

Congratulations Tom.

Great player Hawkins. He’s one of the main reasons the cats have defied gravity for so long. He’ll be very hard to replace. I have to say though I won’t be sorry to see the back of him when he does hangs up his spurs. 

No Danger, Guthrie, Rohan, Tuohy, Stanley

Any substance to the reasons they are all out?

 

Ginnivan is a very average player. Tries the hard stuff too often, never does the simple stuff. Soft. Tragedy he got a medal last year. May was right.


No idea at the moment Hawthorn 

4 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

tigs dropping lilke flies - balta out for 4-6 with an mcl and lynch needs surgery on a hamstring tendon injury

Rotten luck 


if our players didn't get free kicks when they're clearly clobbered high like ginnivan is i would be ropeable

i know there's this perception that he 'ducks' into the tackle...but he's knee high to a grasshopper and constantly gets taken high through no real fault of his own

Cats have had a very soft draw to start the season.

Saints at Government Funded Park, an out of form Crows and the Hapless Hawks.

Next few games Bulldogs at neutral venue in Adelaide after having played their 2 weeks ago, North and possibly out of form Brisbane at the Gabba.

They then have some tests with Blues, Dees and Port (at Government Funded Park).

Am I the only one on here, that is quite enjoying Hawthorn's fall from grace


Just checked the fixture and disappointed to see we don't play Hawthorn twice this year. 

 

Mitchell needs to be careful. 2 seasons in and serving up this dross won’t go down well with the faithful, rebuild or not.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
