The should be at least 3 changes to this year's top 8, so there's room for both us and Melbourne. It's better for us if they lose games, but on balance I want them to win this one.

HAWTHORN'S boom recruit Jaeger O'Meara may face several weeks on the sidelines with another bout of knee soreness.

O'Meara was a late withdrawal from the Hawks' clash with Melbourne at the MCG on Sunday, replaced by fellow midfielder Will Langford.

Hawthorn's football operations manager Jason Burt revealed the club was "hopeful" the issue would be resolved soon to allow O'Meara the chance to work his way back to full fitness.

Geez, they put a lot of eggs in the O'Meara basket...bad for them. However, don't rate Melbourne, the Hawks will win today, which is a shame, with Sydney's big win today #1 pick would have been back on the cards.

Don't know how the dees beat us.

They are f****** hopeless so far to date

They are making the hawks look good even.

We will rue losing that round 1 match. Shows what happens if you are not fully switched on each week.

We added an all new dimension in f****** hopeless that day...absolutely insipid...now I have to face a throng of Dees supporters every week knowing they made us look like a joke. Not. Happy. We better absolutely smash them next time, our record against them at the MCG is okay in recent time, much more convincing performances on their ground.

Melbourne look terrible today and making the Hawks look good.
I can't see them being a final 8 team.

No Max Gawn

He is their key... Without him they are a 10-15 side

Point in it at 3 quarter time.

We can't lose either way.

A draw could be the answer ... we stay in the 8, Hawks hit the skids...

Melbourne's game plan has flaws as is "handball happy".
We should beat them easily as their game wouldn't stand up against pressure like we played on Friday night.

Melbourne had no clue how to win that game in the end. Very ordinary.

As much as I want Hawthorn to finish as low as possible I was going for Hawthorn passionately in that last quarter.

I find Melbourne repulsive, a smug group of pea heart players,and a lippy supporter group that spend there day booing umpires and giving lip to the opposition.

Very conflicted re this result. It's good to know that Melbourne are miles off though

Melbourne were soft bumps.
They were simply not as desperate as St Kilda against the Hawks and Giants.
Soft bounce (soft centre bounce area resulting in toss ups) gave Gawn a massive advantage over Hickey.
Without those centre clearances, we may have had a chance against Melbourne.
Without Gawn they are soft Demons.


The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

I also watched that game because I was with a mate who is a hawks fan.
Very insipid by both sides.
Hawthorn tried their best to lose but Melbourne were too bad to take advantage of it.
How in earth did Melbourne beat us?

We were just not switched on after quarter time when we thought it was all too easy.
If we had played like Friday night we would have won easily.

So far he has not lived up to the level of hype.
I'm glad we chose Paddy.
