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

    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?

    Giants are harder around the ball. Tom Green a beast

    • 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.
