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….

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
