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"

    Feel like we are one down in the midfield without Hore. Would love to see them throw Goldie back in there.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
