Sorry RM and Rev.

But I don't want him playing in 2013.

Let the kid get to the right age before throwing him to the wolves.

We have been crap for years, lets do it right.

We have tried to be too clever too often in the last decade.

    It's just the NAB Cup, OD.

    I would say it was a Mickey Mouse comp, but I reckon even Mickey would be rested...

    That might be seen as tanking rpfc.

    Don't agree I don't want him before he is 18.

    Don't want him to have to wear the responsibility of a possible poxy result yet.

    Who says playing him is the wrong thing to do?

    Gold Coast will have done it twice, indicating to me it might be a good idea at least.

    The beauty of the NAB Cup is you can give him a taste of AFL level and are not locking him in to 2 hours of footy.

    He could play between 1 min and 2 hours!

    Under Neeld?

    4 wins and 1 nab cup

    Not sure there is a lot to consider there RM.

    But I am nit picking.

    I just believe we should not push the envelope with Hogan.

    Lets imagine the melt down if he plays and does not get a kick....

    You have my vote

    Don't believe the kid needs the pressure at 17

    Looking over your shoulder again Old Dee, have a look at the training photos from today, that is a 17yr old wrestling somebody who is over 100kg, great to see, looking fwd to seeing Hogan in the NAB Cup, I want Dom Barry to get an extended taste as well

    Pressure? It's a micky mouse training drill. I don't care if what happens in those games as long as no-one gets hurt.

    There you go

    Already got a stack of new players to suss out in the NAB Cup. Not a whole lot of point in risking Hogan in any way when he can't play this year.

  • Quote

    Old Dee you can get hurt at training, just ask Max Gawn or Daniel Menzel or Morabito or and the list goes on

    Thats true what why push up the odds for a 17 year old

  • Quote

    Age has nothing to do with it when you have a body like that. I say give him a taste- it's not for us, it's for him. He isn't playing any footy this year so let's whet his appetite with some real game time. The fact that it's NAB cup is enough to tell me it won't be overly physical and if he can get through a practice match he can get through a glorified one (hopefully) and as has been already said, injuries can happen anywhere, anytime.

    Unleash the beast!

    As fun as it'd be to have a look at him running around in a match, it's a practice match, we need to practice kicking it to new key targets in Dawes and Pete O'File, players that'll actually be there in round 1.

    Key position needs more drilling that bringing a kid off the bench to a flank.

    Tim Watson played VFL at age 15.....

    Just sayin.....

    VFL isn't AFL level though.

    After being crap for years the temptation is to want instant success is enormance.

    We have seen what that has produced over the last 7 years I can wait another year to see Hogan.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
