Hawks remind e of us in 2018 .. well played & young with dare, though jumping into the crowd at end of the game isn’t great…Not sure why the afl rewards interstate teams to play on their home ground but not Vic teams Dogs Marvel home ground which is 50k capacity same as interstate grounds..

    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. 

    I have to agree with this. All out speed. 
    Pity we got rid of Toby Bedford…

    Hawthorn are playing exactly like Melbourne in 1987. 
    Anyone who hasn’t seen the ‘87 Elimination Final, look it up on YouTube

    Watching Hoges tearing the comp apart is the textbook definition of bittersweet.

    that goal umpire is a numpthy. always calling for reviews. The ball was no where near touched.

    Numpty commentators thought it could’ve been touched twice!

    Would love to have Hogan back when he is in this type of form. He would fill a major void for us  

    Timing is everything I suppose.

    Jesus Hogan has been good. I thought his career was nearly done 3-4 years ago.

    Exactly the type of player we need.  He's really found his true self and form.

    Could be the reason the Giants win a cup this year

    lucky free to giants there. The giants player lowered the head when tackled. not sure what the swans player could do in that situation

    I've been meaning to post this since Round Zero when – like many of you – I was at the SCG in the Supporters' Area. 

    I understand there is a service entry immediately behind the goals on the Randwick end of the ground, but why are the away supporters always beside the goals at the Paddington end. Surely an end with an obstruction is better than an inferior view that's not behind the goals? Is there any other ground in the AFL where the away team is not behind one of the goals?

    I raise it today as the GWS supporters have been given the  priority spots behind the goals at the Paddington. Surely if it's good enough for the Finals, it should be good enough for the H&A season. 

    Thoughts?

    • 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.
