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?

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

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?

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
