Sums up their club and supporter base to a tee really. Can dish it out but as soon as they cop a bit back they go running to the teacher.

Can anyone actually remember a better win by the club outside of Grand Finals? 4/1 odds leading into the game, playing in enemy territory, no Stewy, Port with 8 wins from their past 9, all and sundry questioning our credentials, relatively inexperienced lineup compared to previous finals...

If we face Sydney it’ll most likely be Friday night (minor premiers have received the extra day’s break in previous years), but yeah if we draw Brisbane or GWS then I’d put my money on Saturday twilight

Zuthrie’s best game for the club by a long way

Mannagh getting involved in nearly everything seemingly

Stanley’s goal there, followed up his own work beautifully

Feel like they don’t play the ground too well compared to Marvel. In spite of the Dogs’ recent form and odds with the bookies ($1.50 to $2.60), I think this is close to a 50-50 proposition.

Followed up by their annual capitulation in a home Prelim

I’d be both surprised and disappointed if we don’t put West Coast away by 40+ next week. They are hot garbage and their record at GMHBA is beyond awful. Far, far better Eagles sides have left the place with their tails between their legs over the past 15-20 years, let alone this current...

Nobody staying down in a contest again, **** me 👎

1v2s and 1v3s down the line everywhere again 🙁

Friday Melbourne v Collingwood, MCG (7.40pm) Saturday Hawthorn v North Melbourne, UTAS (1.45pm) Richmond v Gold Coast, MCG (1.45pm) Geelong v West Coast, GMHBA (4.35pm) Carlton v St Kilda, Marvel (7.30pm) Sydney v Adelaide, SCG (7.30pm) Sunday Bulldogs v GWS, Mars (1.10pm) Brisbane v Essendon...

So much hinges on the St Kilda game in a few weeks. Ran through the ladder predictor and had us 4th with a win (even accounting for a loss to Freo) and as low as 9th if we get rolled. Vital we’re switched on from the first bounce in this one as it’s definitely a potential banana skin of sorts.

What are the odds we don’t cop this version of St Kilda in a few weeks? Always seem to be their Grand Final 😬

#freekickhawthorn is back in earnest

Anyone else unable to access their mobile membership ahead of tomorrow’s game? Attempting to load it in the app just brings up a message saying “ticket already used”. Have encountered similar issues on three occasions already this season, it’s honestly a complete cluster**** 😢

**** me we made hard work of that. I’ll take it though.

Need to stop the kicks to grass coming out of D50. Collingwood are picking them off like clockwork. Fix this up and we win.

Hawthorn board is f’n hilarious reading right now

It'd 100% be Neale as he's the most like for like swap by far. Personally, I'm a little more hesitant about Henry's (slated) inclusion this week than others - our forward setup against Essendon looked close to the best we've rolled out all season and I'd be happy to keep it that way for now...

Making us defend 1v1 and cutting us up

On current form, the only games we’re winning are the ones against North, Adelaide and West Coast. Whilst I still think we might turn things around to an extent and pick up a few more wins than that, 6-3 is a far more optimistic scenario than it is pessimistic considering we’ve gone 1-6 since...

Another week of applying absolutely **** all pressure on opposition defences exiting our F50 I see 🤪

Defenders all just standing there looking at one another as usual

Imagine how good it’d be to bring them back down to Earth with an almighty thud in front of our home crowd in a few weeks

2021 is starting to look more and more like a blip on the radar for Melbourne. Almost shades of the Dogs post-2016 and Adelaide following the 2017 GF loss. On paper, just about the most talented side in the comp but it simply ain't clicking for them.

You can pretty much apply this to our midfield as a whole. Bruhn/Holmes/Bowes/Dempsey are all quite promising and I'm more bullish on them as a collective than others, but realistically they're 2-3 years away from having the fitness and maturity to go with better midfields for four quarters...

Defence is an utter shambles. As soon as the ball goes to ground we’re toast.

Another week of conceding 4-5 goals in quick succession. **** sake 🤦

Hawk turning back the clock thus far
