Mean the MFC marketing people realise that building Jesse up now, and through his year at Casey will be great groundwork for the marketing event that will be his first game, Round 1 2014.

Forget Carey and forget the Ox, I see him as having the physical attributes and aggression of one "Plugger"...and that's something you won't hear me complaining about.

He's not the next Carey, Schwarz or Lockett - he's the first Jesse Hogan! :)

Actually, he has played 0 games for MFC.

He was wearing a Melbourne jumper...I beg to differ. Not AFL season, but NAB still is a bonefide game for Melbourne I should think

Means we're prepared to delist another player.

I dont think they really expect a yes, but would then at least be in position to say , well, we asked.

I wonder who would be getting nervous ??

If Mark Neeld popped into this thread, he would be demanding 98% of the posters to get back on the 'reality bus. Seriously, the comparasins here after 40 minutes of footbal are ludicrus!

Brereton

Carey

Brown

The kid is full of potential, but he has more than a marathon to go before he gets a game in real time

And what's that worth? SFA. Still think it's a waste of time even asking. If he was eligible to play, he should have been in the draft. The AFL can't and won't change the rules half way through the process.

I hope he ends up like the leader of the Monstars from space jam...

Wasn't the leader an old overweight dude?

What you mean is want him to be like the massive alien playing power forward with Charles Barkley's mad ball skills!!!

It's a waste of time, it makes the club look like we're trying to bend the rules (again) and it makes us look amateurish at best.

Tim Harrington should have played a straight bat 'no' to any queries about Hogan being eligible for 2013, instead of feeding the flames.

Would be a change being the bender rather than the bendee.

He's going to be a player. To put it mildly.

But I am not going to go nuts over a present I can't open for 12 months...

Get down to Casey though...

I blame the GE Money Genie. Society didn't know any different other than to put something on layby if we couldn't buy it straight away. That damn genie gave us the ability to have something before we earnt it!

Every year we say that the preseason seems to last forever. Round 1, 2014 will feel worse than ever given it started last Friday night!

You take a bag full of exaggeration, throw in a pinch of rhetoric and a dash of figerospeech, mix them all up in the Hyper Bowl, pour into a lined cake tin, refrigerate (or overheat) for 30 minutes and voila!... you have the perfect slice of hyperbole.

Has no relevance to this situation.

except that it's pretty much exactly the same situation, aside from Hogan being bigger

high draft pick key forward rushed into a cr@p side to appease supporter impatience

we are going to suck for several years and he won't be at his peak for many more, why the rush?

Will help with team structure for starters. Fill the boots of Clark until his fit

Silly me - you're right. Hogan is the same as Watts, but bigger. Got it.

The only way you could logically conclude that the situations were the same was if the players were the same. Watts probably wasn't mentally ready and certainly wasn't physically ready. Hogan is already bigger than most of the people he'd play on so he clearly is physically ready - as for mentally, we're in no position to judge.

Did we not learn anything from how we introduced jack watts to football???

We learnt that next time we debut a key position player in their teens we're going to make sure they weigh 100kgs.

Yes, could just imagine all of the other clubs taking out a class action against the AFL for draft tampering :-)

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
