Where and When: MCG, Saturday 17th July at 7:25pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Rd 5, 2021: Melbourne 15.14 (104) def Hawthorn 8.6 (54) at the MCG.
Last 5 H2H: Melbourne 4 – Hawthorn 1
Thommo Watch:
Melbourne: Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and May make Melbourne very SC relevant.
Hawthorn: Tom Mitchell and super-rookie Lachie Bramble. And if you accidentally got stuck with Ned Reeves, he’s back!
Match Preview: I’ll keep this one simple: The Hawks appear to have shot themselves in the foot with a very dubious coaching decision and the players looked flat last week. The Dees will want to lock in their top 2 spot soon so expect a motivated, comfortable win by Melbourne.
Thommo’s Tip: Melbourne by 40 points. (Tipping record: 27.5/48)

LATE CHANGES
Hawthorn: Conor Nash (was at exposure site) replaced in selected side by James Cousins
MEDICAL SUBS
Melbourne: Tom Sparrow
Hawthorn: J Newcombe
Damn, Newcombe being sub.
He was my loop for Sharp who’s on 85 at 3/4 time
Same here
Can someone explain how if a football player has to isolate for 14days and has trained with the players how all don’t have to isolate as they would be considered close contacts, literally?
Is James Harmes not playing?? During the week he had the green tick and was in the team in this sites teams collum, but now, he is named as not playing. Anyone able to shed some light on this ?
Yes,T0land’s T00ls, that seems to be the case.
I just checked and he is out with illness but I am unaware when this was notified.
Ear infection apparently.
Thanks guys will cover
Let’s go Hawkers,
HFC by 33, Jeka to slot 5
Damn! Missed the start of the game and have captained Newcombe! Genius!
Ouch Thommo, hopefully we go unscathed and he doesn’t get activated…
Thanks mate but I’ve got no one to blame but myself for such a rookie error. Typical I do this the week Sharp scores 115 points as midfield emergency!
Nooooooooooo Thommo!
Bloody 10 minutes to go in last quarter and Newk coming on by the sounds of it
I couldn’t believe it when they brought Denver back on! Welcome to the field Sharp!
It seems like Max Gawn is not going to be the number 1 supercoach ruck next year.
Bramble keep going and I can save Cripps trade for dusty
How good have my hawkers been. We are giving it a red hot crack and have been great to watch. Fingers cross we can give it a go this last quarter and try to sneak a win
D. Grainger-Barras shoulder injured but came back in
FFS will someone tell bramble that if he steps outside goalsquare it counts as a disposal
Mitchell 165*
Bramble going to reach that 100* come on
No crowd, no song.
Weird!
“Silence” a draw
A weird feeling after the draw but I am very happy. Great fight and ticker tonight and our kids were very impressive. Ironically arguably our 2 worst players were our most experienced with shiels and frost.
Frosty has a big heart and two left feet.
Tom Mitchell:
39 disposals (26 effective)
19 contested possessions
6 tackles
6 clearances
1 goal
172 points
Disgusted. 2 points better than losing to….
