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.

    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

    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?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
