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.

    Looks completely cooked. 

    Hasn't had a touch this quarter and yet they have McRea sitting on the bench as a sub..

    Much love for the guy but he's not gonna win them a flag

    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.

    Naughton should well remember Tom McDonald on "bang, bang, bang" and shepherded Bont's goal.

    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….

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
