Hawthorn will be out to add a third consecutive upset to their list of scalps when they face the top four-bound Melbourne at the MCG. Join The Roar for live scores from 3:20pm (AEST).
The Demons’ winning streak came to an end last week at the hands of Carlton, and now they must face another in-form team in a major challenge on finals eve.
The Hawks have taken down Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs in recent weeks and are building nicely under Sam Mitchell – victory here would be the sweetest of the bunch.

Poor Essendon supporters. You almost have to feel sorry for the club.

I think it'll be 7000 by next September :laughing:

Oh yeah! For sure missed Newcomb, he’s such a workhorse! And we had, I think, four with less than five games including two on debut. But they are shaping really well, not a bad looking young side
Chancho
Roar Rookie
Yep! Agree with this. I found Sicily didn’t have the impact he normally has, having said that I thought Melksham came away with some good numbers for a good game. I did like Mitchell moving Sicily up the ground later on there, get him in the game somehow or another
Mr Right
Roar Rookie
He just has to be patient, it's only been about 6000 days.

Well done my Dees, Hawks RESPECT. young team never gave up, lead by very good seniors and excellent coaching:)

Ever so slightly likely.

Tim is just bitter hawthorn will win another flag before Essendon wins a final.
Birdman
Roar Rookie
Missing our FF in Lewis and best mid in Newcombe didn't help. Umps far too involved for mine too. Given where the Hawks are in their development, this was a decent performance against a flag fancy.
Alchemist
Roar Rookie
Just part of the game plan. When you play full on attack you're bound to get hurt on turnovers but the risk is worth the reward. The defensive side will come :thumbup:
Chancho
Roar Rookie
Hmmm more costly turnovers for the Hawks and too much messing about in defensive 50
