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!

    Watson looks average. He carries on like Ginnivan, but at least Jack does some unique things. Watson can't kick.

    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
