Game Day Round 10, 2025: Melbourne v Hawthorn, 4:15pm MCG
A lot of confidence in here, but we aren’t winning this game if we only have four goalkickers like last week against Freo, two of which (Gunston and Butler) aren’t named in the starting lineup today. In fact, that’s been a bit of a problem for us this year - the goals are being left to too few... -

Game Day Round 9, 2026: Fremantle v Hawthorn, 8.10pm AEST
I don’t usually post on the game day thread, but I just wanna say this is a cracking game of football -

I’m pretty sure we were on 8 pts after 8 games in 2024. Beat the doggies in round 8 after previously beating North. -

Preview Round 8, 2026: Collingwood v Hawthorn, 30 April 2026, 7.30pm @ MCG
Massive game this week. At 6-1, we’re ahead of where I thought we’d be at this point. But we could’ve easily been 4-3 if not for the two close wins against Geelong and Port. Two weeks ago we would’ve probably pencilled this game in for a win, but the Pies have seemingly turned the corner... -

More than ten minutes left… They could still win by 10 goals -

Port shouldn’t lose this game from here. Interesting to see Dangerfield struggling to get a touch. Is he even in Geelong’s best 23 anymore? Looks like he’s gone around one season too many. -

It’s pretty distressing vision. I know given his past it’s easy for people to draw the conclusion that he was under substance influence. But you cannot underestimate what a lack of sleep does to a person either. I’ve personally seen that in someone who was on antidepressants and anxiety meds... -

Thanks for the inside tip. I get there’s a correlation there, with teams who’ve played in opening round expected to be higher up the ladder with the extra game played. But it was not a given that the Suns, Dogs, Swans and Hawks would be occupying the top four spots on the ladder by now, with all... -

Interesting that the top 4 teams on the ladder (and the only teams with 8 pts or more - Suns and Dogs on 12, Swans and us on 8) have the bye this round. All seven games are being contested by teams with 4 pts or less. Some real 50/50 match-ups too between fancied finals contenders, with early... -

Preview Round 2, 2026: Hawthorn v Sydney Swans, 19 March 2026, 7.30pm @ MCG
Yeah, no sign of Wicks on the AFL injury report that just dropped… I’d count on him being named. -

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Aidan Schubert
Went past Dingley early in the last quarter before heading to the pub to watch the seniors. Saw us come back from almost 5 goals down, to win. Schubert kicked three in the last 10 mins, including the last two with ground ball gets and snaps shots from 35-40 out on the right foot. A couple of... -

Preview Round 1, 2026: Essendon v Hawthorn, 13 March 2026, 7.40pm @ MCG
Yeah, good callout. Gunston may have hit the scoreboard more, with 4 goals from 7 touches, but struggled to get involved in the play. If Lewis had nailed those two, admittedly pretty tough, shots that went out on the full, he’d have 3 goals from a 10-possession, 6-mark game. And we’d all be... -

Autopsy Round 0, 2026: Hawks flattened by Giants
I went up to Sydney to watch the game and I’m not really sure what to make of it. Firstly, it was extremely humid, and we seemed to lack a step in pace compared to their players. They brought more energy from the outset. That said, the bounce of the ball seemed to favour them all game. A few... -

Some kind of lapse from Carlton… When is the last time a team kicked 12 in a quarter? Must be a couple of years. -

Crazy to think they were 22 points up five mins into that quarter. I was getting ready to call it… And then, the avalanche came
