You look at who hawthorn recruited last year. Then compare to who we bought in. Not talking about Windsor but some others

    Watching Hawthorn tonight brings back so many happy memories of watching the Dees in the 2018 finals.

    Noisy crowd, young team full of attack and and momentum.

    Smash em Hawks!

    I feel the same way

    It makes me sick the long suffering hawks and cats fans get to see MORE finals wins when we've seen 5 in 20 years and 3 of them we weren't allowed to go to. Stuff footy. There is no karma.

    If you're a hawks fan wanting to go to Adelaide,  I'd jump on now for flights before the prices are jacked up

    They are playing in Sydney.

    A few things with the Hawks:

    1. They aren’t that young. They’ve got real experience in their midfield and backline especially. Watson’s ready made, Weddle is a beast. Dear is the one super young player and turns out he might be a freak?

    2. They’re super fit. You can see they’re rarely tired and go up and down the ground. Richmond’s fitness coach was an incredible hire.

    They are in their defensive grid right away. Dogs haven’t got started with their ball movement.

    3. They aren’t afraid to kick to a contest from a stoppage, inside 50 or out of their backline under pressure. That’s good finals footy and they win their share of contests.

    4. They have a number of highly skilled players and a solid baseline of skills, but the main basis for their ball movement is coordinated run. They run in waves but they also run in well organised ways. Forwards come at the kicker and the big thing is that every one of their handballs goes a good distance because the runner is spaced a good distance.

    And that right there is why we shouldn’t go anywhere near Daniel. Can’t hit a kick to a teammate 30m away and put him immediately under the pump.

    Fair go. 
    He’s their 2nd highest rated player. 
    15th overall….

  • Quote

    We are seeing a game style that is yelling at me to forget our fixation with getting a big forward at any cost. It’s about quick, clever ball movement, midfielders with leg speed and smart, quick, small medium sized forwards, with a mobile tall or two to contest in the air. We look a mile off this pace.

    To be fair since 2016 they haven’t played many in Melbourne

    Correct their ground has had major development etc but going of topic who’s fault is it that we don’t have a training base and the whole club under 1 roof, with the mindset of having a base around the G, Jackson started this process 10 yrs ago .. 

    I have been thinking about this a bit. Unlike  many other clubs, the Melbourne supporter base is not at all localised. Geelong, Footscray and to a lesser extent others get massive government funding which is sheer pork-barreling, because it swings voters in a given electorate. We don't have that pull. And that is no-one's fault.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
