    hawks high on my list of most disliked teams. hoping for a Lions win

    We had massive opportunities to bury those ppricks from Glenferrie.

    No star power whatsoever.

    Bunch of rejects from other clubs put together, real social media, content creator type false alarmers.

    The Carlton forums are fun right now. This gave me a chuckle.

    We had a chance to trade McKay for Petracca, exactly the kind of player we need right now. Instead we pick Mr "In no rush for a premiership" who plays 1 good game out of every 4.

    did they?

    i don't think we'd have been keen on that deal

    bears run and spread from the contest is much better today

    who had the role, if anyone, on rayner last week? i can't seem to remember anyone in particular paying close attention to him, but i don't remember him being super-involved either

    if cripps doesn't win the ball at the stoppage - which i would say is 1 in 4, cos he's such a brute in that situation - then he simply doesn't move defensively at all

    I suspect the poor guy is absolutely knackered 90% of the time. It is one thing to carry the club's inside game AND be the stalwart calming influence on fans and coteries, but making Cripps play in the ruck for extended periods actually sits for me as the marker that Voss should go. A coach who looks at their best player, who is best in the competition at their primary role, and says 'you can sort out my positional disorganisations' is inviting a lightning bolt.

    On a related note, it wasn't that long ago that the Cripps-Walsh pairing was looking like becoming the core of an unstoppable midfield. Cripps with the sheer volume of impact on contests and Walsh with the relentless running and effective attacking use.

    Now, Cripps is wearing down to dust and Walsh just isn't a top level player - just by the numbers he's a solid 20% off his younger form.

    we let ourselves down with poor goal kicking.

    Seems the Fox commentators are barracking hard for the hawks, pretty ordinary I reckon

    Cripps in the ruck is just such a bad idea.

    Especially when you have Mackay needing to get into the game, and to take pressure off of him as a goal scorer.

    It may not look like much but the wrestling really takes it out of your second efforts, leads, sprints, etc.

    Hawks got pies, dogs and crows next 3, wouldn’t be surprised if they lost all 3. I don’t think they have beaten a side inside the 8 this year. Love to see them go into the bye outside the 8 and us above them

    Did the Hawthorn bench just hold up a painting?

    Correct.

    Must be a secret message!

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
