These are the type of questions we have to put to the Football Department. 
It’s all work rate and run. Many of our players switch off far too often 

Hawthorn could easily win Finals this year, and most of their team are no names

The hawks players just work for each other & play their role

    They sure do and it’s exactly what we did in 21, not saying the Hawks will win it but it’s a massive step in the right direction. Boy it would be nice if we could rediscover that buy in over the summer.

    Someone needs to rescue Sheezel out of Norf, they have another decade as wooden spooners.

    Sheezel for Trac. Done deal.

    Yes, so why don’t we play to the same standard?

    I can never get my head around how we lost to WC. The most [censored] up game I ever witnessed.

    Harley Reid - they already go to him in a marking one on one with Jack Henry and he wins it easily.

    How did we lose to WC.   Terrible 

    I would take Waterman though.   And Reid has a  head to match his ability .

    ANB to Port, Houston to Norf and Sheezel to the Dees. 
     

    I can dream.

    Hope Richmond can win so yze avoids the wooden spoon

    If the Suns win well we get a better draft hand with pick 6. If the Saints do a job on Carlscum, we get pick 5

     Gees the scores today resemble Country games, I would be embarrassed if I was an AFL administrator.

    Cats 14th time in the last 18 years finished top 4 and missed finals twice! Haven’t bottomed out and traded in quality inc free agents! Enough said!

    Don't really understand West coast 

    With their wealth and home ground advantage you would expect to see some improvement 

    Same for north given their extra draft picks and Tasmanian advantage

    Two years ago I would have said Collingwood was on its way down for a long time and hawks ... Who knows 

    Coach and gameplan are now as important as good players perhaps

    Me thinks the Suns are keen to manipulate the margin of this match.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
