Very proud of that last quarter effort. (Apart from the inaccuracy) We were out on our feet but just pushed so hard. Injuries just really destroyed us this year. Hope Goldy is ok. She l

Such a brave effort but Hawks had that little bit extra composure with the ball. So much to admire with this Melbourne team, they gave it their all but a few were running on empty at the end.  Too bad

(It's their home game, right?) Anyway, good to see Colvin back. Taylor the consequent last-in-first-out victim. Always awks after the fuss made on their debuts (K.Brown says hullo), particularly

This is the most bogan commentary team I've ever heard.

They should be in a tri coloured Commodore commentary car on the hill.

One of the women just said that "hawthorn play some of the funest footy she's seen"

The good:

Hanks, Gall, Goldy, Blaithin, McNamara 

The Bad, Hawks in space and bursting from stoppage while we look slow

The ugly: Kelly Underwood hasn’t called a single MFC player correctly. Chaplin was Goldy twice, Hanks was McNamara. FCS. It’s your one job as a commentator! Know the players names and numbers!

How can someone stripping the ball out of Hanks hands be an incorrect disposal free kick?

Anyways, mids going ok but our forwards and backs seem to be walking around the packs a little too much.

Gone back to over handballing again. Kick the thing, that is what won us the past couple of games.

STOP OVERHANDBALLING 

STOP OVERHANDBALLING 

We win by getting territory and winning the next contest 

Stop going back to what lost us games !!!

We have been unlucky so far. Bounce of the ball, few umpiring calls, hawks miskicks falling in their lap etc. But got to keep it close here while hawks feel like they are on top.

Just added that. I don’t feel like we are out of this at all but they do have the momentum

Every stoppage seems too open. Seems to really suit Hawthorn. Bring up an extra and congest/outnumber and I think we will get much more ball forward.

we're lucky to be only 13 points down

Hawks have more run and moving the ball better. they are better around the ball as well

going to be an uphill battle in the second half. not sure what we can chnage here.

Geez we miss Kate Hore. With Beasley out as well we just don’t have the midfield rotations. Also Fitzy seems to be running with Bates who is just torching her with her gut running. 
That said the call against Zanker in the marking contest was total rubbish. Perfect bodywork in the side, no different to McDonough’s work at the other end. Good to see free kick Hawthorn transcends gender.🙄
Cmon girls! Find a way!

Such a shame to lose Hore and Chaplin pregame as we just need that extra little bit of depth in this game. We will need to make it a grind and be more efficient in F50 to take the win from here. They will kill us if the r game remains this open.

Also, geez Jas Fleming is quality. Not quite the level of my fave Hanks but very very good.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
