Jesse Hogan's dad, Tony.

[Webber 10,008]

I don't like Etihad (shocker, huh?), so I prefer to stand at ground level, floating around as if to suggest I might do a runner at any moment. When Jesse Hogan belted in front of the pack for a mark and just kept running into goal toward the last half of the second quarter today, I gave a "fire 'em up Jesse!" for good measure.

The chap standing next to me laughed, and I turned to acknowledge him. He said "I'm only laughing cos he's my son". We then proceeded to chin wag for the remainder of the quarter and through halftime until he went to find family at the opening bounce of the second half.

The lesson to be learnt here fellow Demonlanders is that when it's the last game of the year, at Crapihad and with nothing in the result, and you'd rather stick pins in your eyes than watch another rubbish game,it's still worth going just in case there's an unknown reward for your loyalty.

Tony had a good Fathers Day.

Did he smile when he laughed?

[Binmans PA 25,991]

Did ue mention any re-signing?

cool post, but....what did you talk about and what did he say?

Gold.

He's signed up until the end of 2017. That's plenty for now. I'm sure if we come out firing next season he'll be happy to take on a longer term deal with us.

Bit worried that we just let Jesse's dad stand at the back with the plebs (no offence to you Webber). He should be reclining on a velvet throne in a gold-plated box while someone feeds him grapes.

He was clearly there incognito. Obviously if he'd let people know he was coming this could have been arranged.

[Chook 14,467]

Did you congratulate him on his apparently extremely high-quality sperm?

I suppose not. That would probably have been a little awkward.

Nothing remarkable, just positives about the personnel at the club, Jesse having a good year, the fact that he loves playing with Chris Dawes amongst other usual suspects. He gave some nice anecdotes about Jesse as a teenager, his own football history, quote : 'Jesse's a Rolls Royce, I was a Ford Prefect'. Lots of looking to the future with with new young guns at the club. Very nice bloke, and likewise the conversation. On the man of the moment, Dan Cross will be much missed on game day, he's enormously respected.

He's not a box and throne kind of bloke, in the best possible way

If the old man was talking up the young pups at the club, that would obviously be an opinion reinforced by Jesse himself.

This makes me happy.

Jesse is the ducks guts as far as i am concerned.

[Whispering_Jack 27,959]

Can we draft him under the father/son rule?

[Jaded No More 57,784]

What a great thread.

[Dwight Schrute 16,749]

Did he look fit enough to play, on genes alone he'd be an upgrade on Dawes.

[Hulkamania Brother 52]

Gives me even more hope for the future!!!
