    Cats last night and Hawks tonight are showing that fast, attacking footy and ball skills win games. Kind of the opposite to our approach. We wouldn’t have got within 10 goals of them.

    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?

     

    They’re the 17th youngest list and 16th most inexperienced for games.

    Hawks haven’t won a final in 9 years

    So that’s something i guess

    Meaning they’re the second oldest? Can’t be.

    Haha! Yeah not that, the opposite. My bad. 
     

    2nd youngest. Words are hard.

    I suspect @DeeSpencer is talking about the 23 playing, not the entire list.

    The side currently playing has an average age of 25y 6m (Dogs are 26y 8m) and average games played of 107.6 (Dogs are 130.8).

    They're not that far off the same age/experience as Port last night (25y 10m and 107 games).

    I suspect they're the youngest side playing finals (perhaps GWS will be similar?) but they're nothing like some of the sides we saw in Round 24 (e.g. Fremantle was 24y 10m, Adelaide 24y 5m, GC was 24y 10m, North was 24y 9m).

    It's how you win games against teams that can't defend. We beat Geelong and Hawthorn, you know.

    I'm bored. Might dial up a replay of the last time we played the H's in a final. (One of the best trips to the footy I can remember)

    Hawks riding a wave of confidence and fitness (largely untroubled by injury all year, although they're doing this to the Dogs without Will Day).

    Every year you back the EF winner to beat the QF loser, and right now how can you pick Port to beat Hawthorn? But most years straight sets doesn't happen for a reason.

    If they knock Port off, they're as good a chance as any side of beating Sydney at the SCG to make the GF.

    Which leaves the Geelong v Hawthorn GF alive.

    For all the equalisation measures the AFL has implemented, having Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney in the top handful of sides yet again is not good.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
