Sunday Afternoon: Melbourne Demons vs. Hawthorn Hawks



Hawks Stay on Top

Not exactly 110 points but the Hawks use a 95 point flogging of Melbourne to hold 1st place for another week. The Demons managed 1.7 for the first half, while Hawthorn were wasteful in the opening 30 minutes. The score at quarter time was 0.3.3 to 3.9.27 but the score could’ve easily been 0.3.3. to 12.0.72 which gave the impression that the Hawks were letting Melbourne off easy. The 95 point Demonic Demolition also puts an even bigger cloud over Mark Neeld’s future at Melbourne: I personally he’s gone, could be out after the bye.

The Demons have one game left to try and save Neeld. He was given a nightmare two games to improve things: Hawthorn (just gone) and Collingwood next week. I think to stand any chance of keeping his job, Melbourne need to either win (which is unlikely) or lose by less than 60 points. The Hawks have two weeks off to prepare for Carlton and reclaim top of the ladder.
