Actually IIRC Hogan's 18th is today. So Happy birthday to Hoges.

and happy birthday Jetta. 22 today.

The next Rioli on our finger tips? Lets hope so, looks like he has put on a bit this pre-season.

Geez, that might be pushing it a little.

He has great sideways movement Jetta but probably not as good as Rioli's, and nowhere near the straight line speed or skills of Cyril.

so od, will NJ become your new JB?

No dc but I have a couple I will be keeping my eye on

But to be fair I am giving them the benefit of the doubt for a couple of months yet.

Who are you looking forwarded to watching?

This is DL where every player is a potential superstar!

These are not the ones I am watching but I agree I am really keen to see Flash back and Sylvia

If those two had good seasons it will improve us out of site.

But in the NAB as I said earlier I want to see how the recruits of 2012 who where out injured for most of the 2012 season perform.

It is not the end of the world for me hardtack.

I would just prefer he did not play.

The kid wants to play, who are we to argue, hes uprooted his life to come to Melbourne, give him a taste.

MFC has just tweeted that Hogan has been given the all clear to play NAB Cup.

I dispute that. I'd say he's got Rioli more than covered for speed. If you watched the GF carefully, you'd see Jetta sprinting down the southern wing (can't remember the quarter, but it was towards the Punt Rd end - either first or third) with the ball for a good distance, pursued by Rioli. Rioli made no ground at all, despite Jetta's bouncing the ball, and gave up the chase. He looked embarrassed as he turned back towards the centre of the ground.

Was looking forward to going along next Friday to watch some actual footy - but $22 for GA (3rd level?) with no free access for club members for a couple of Mickey Mouse half-games? The AFL and Docklands can get f*****.

For once H_T I hope you are wrong

How old was Robert Flower when he played his first senior game? Answer 17. Old Dee you must remember that day. Or was that you that kept screaming don't play him. Would Flower get a game with us if you had your way Old Dee? Robert Flower was pound for pound one of the strongest players running around in his day.

As for Jesse Hogan, he has done a full pre-season and you say do not play him. Do you want to break him before he even gets going. He needs to play in the NAB Cup to give him the taste of senior footy of sorts. By giving him some time will give him the incentive to do his best with Casey knowing what it is like to play AFL footy. Old Dee it is called the Carrot at the End of the Stick Principle. Plus for god sake the kid is more than big enough to look after himself and he knows how to move around the ground.

If is about time we show some mongrel at Melbourne and be pro-active and that includes the members and supporters.

I am really hoping Jesse gets a run on 22nd, can't wait to see if any of the so called tough Nth Melb defenders have a go,

Had a chat to him about playing VFL and told him he would have 'head' hunters he just smirked and said he was looking fwd to it,

Think it is really good coaching to have Spencer banging into him, he more than held his own

It is only my opinion not the end of the world.

No I do not remember RF's first game.

That is exactly why I would prefer he did not play.

However can we get over JH there are another 40 players running around on Friday week.

Any interest in any of them?

That's all good as long as he wasn't thinking of "headhunters" in terms of potential employers seeking his services ;-)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
