Richmond remind me of us.

Constant poor decisions.

Especially the looping handballs to stationary players.

An almost lazy and over confident style at times.

    The Wizard conjures up 3 more behinds out of nowhere!

    He's called "The Wizard" because he can turn certain goals into behinds.

    Just watching Chol, did we even ask the question. Seems to take marks, tackle and score goals everytime I watch a hawthorn game.

    assume we didn’t show interest cos a certain someone hadn’t been suspended yet?

    Time to replay the 2021 GF perhaps 

    Did that but it made me lament the loss of LJ. He was an enormous part of bang bang bang

    wouldn't have made a difference - hawks could absorb the huge salary and there was no way we could do so

    don't forget he was still on big coin from the gc17 contract

    most deals for the end of each year are sorted out 6-18 months prior, really, not during the actual trade week; it's why requests out of the blue like petty to the crom or lachie neale suddenly wanting to go back to flagmantle are less rather than more likely to come to fruition

    i'm not liking hawks renaissance. 

    go tiges

    Hawks are going to be very good I can see them entering the window in 2-3 years time. It’s just not fair how quickly they have come back.

    imagine shushing the crowd in Dusty’s 300th

    Especially after being gifted another ridiculous free kick

    Easily the biggest [censored] in the league

    I am referring to the Wizard by the way

    are you thinking it’s the Yze factor?

    Our recruiting needs to be questioned seeing Chol …yet we get Fullerton who hasn’t played a game after the Grundy disaster, throw in billings, Shache, Hunter & have a trifecta of has beens, that’s not topping up to win another flag , not sure what their strategy is/was, but it reflects the flip flop of Goodwin

    This might be controversial around these parts but it might be time we stop letting Gawn be the final sign off on who we recruit.

    Not sure if Gawn is responsible yeah the Grundy one was but I dare say the others are Lamb, Taylor & Goodwin

    If we recruited Chol he would be on your list of failures. averages just over a goal a game. barely rucks and extremely inconsistent 

    Were you ok with May, Lever, Langdon, Hibberd, Melksham?

    Gee there is no way back in r2 when we thrashed the hawks & kept them to only 5 goals that now we'd be out of the 8 & the hawks would be sitting on equal points with us

    Ffs give it a rest will you?! You’ve made your point oh so many times. This thread is cool because we get to chat while watching other sides play each other. You’re making it uncool with your repetitive slagging off on our team. If you must do that, please take it to a relevant thread. Please!

    Gee just over 92,000. Just goes to show how much dusty is loved and respected.

    Also the hawks are playing well to.

    That's more than what carlton/Collingwood  & carlton/essendon got.

    You absolutely have to give credit to Richmond supporters today. 92,000 is a huge effort, especially given how uncompetitive they've been all season.

    Dusty thanking the fans for coming out & I bet the media turn it into is he saying goodbye.

    Good on Jack riewoldt for snaffling an interview with him. Fox footy would be loving that.

    I respect your opinion but the thread is talking about other games and posters are discussing players etc and our recruiting.

    Exactly! That’s what this thread is for. There’s so many other threads to discuss our Club. It would be awesome if we could keep this thread to NON-MFC as per the thread title. It’s not a big ask.

    Now Sydney are playing. It would be great if we don’t have to keep hearing how dumb we are re JJ and Grundy. Not in this thread anyways.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
