Locking down Jesse Hogan

[Coup Cooper 610]

Has there been anything said about the chat Paul Roos had with hogan yesterday?

[Machsy 2,858]

Definitely worth getting into.

Been a year or so since I read the series, I can't remember Nakor - the name sounds Tsurani though??

My favorites were Tomas (pure power) and Meecham (for stealth)!

Are you guys talking about Pokemon..?

Haha, nah it's a book by Raymond Feist called The Magician. Good read if your into science fiction.

Nakor is an Isalani "trickster", who is referenced in passing in the Riftwar series, but first appears as a character in the Serpentwar series (I think?). He's a character all the way through and dies in the series before the last one.

Umm. *Way* off topic. We could take it to a thread in the general forum?

I would classify it as Science Fantasy(I have a signed copy of it). If you want Science Fiction try anything by David Brin

Roos was seen with Hogan at a Dymocks bookstore purchasing a fantasy/science fiction novel called 'The Magician' and swapping Pokemon figurines with half of the WCE midfielders (but not Cale Morton).

Spoke to a mate who has become pretty good friends with jesse and while she doesn't know anything about the footy side of things it bought a pretty big smile to my face to hear he is absolutely loving Melbourne so far!

If he trades 'Viney the Geodude' I'm going to be very upset.

We've been stuck with a team of Zubats for too long.

Zing!

Apparently has committed to playing in our next three flags.

YOUNG gun Jesse Hogan says he will be right for the start of Melbourne’s 2014 pre-season campaign, despite injuring his knee late in the season.

This is great news. Now let's get the boy signed, sealed and delivered.

Talking of conspiracies, I'm surprised that no-one has raised that which is most obvious to me: that members of the board have been in touch with Roos for 6 months (according to GNF) laying the groundwork for this Roos-coup and the it has gone off so successfully while other members of the board flailed away and sank. I think it less likely that the board acted in a coherent and effective fashion on this topic. Somewhere, a group of suits has plotted a way out of the Neeld mess, seen off the Stynes legacy board members and shoved the club away from the Hollywood Boulevard influences within and without.

If true, (perhaps a big if) this is the biggest successful political maneuver at the MFC to be good since..well, since I've paid attention...

All without leaks (except you, GNF).

Now THERE"S a conspiracy theory!

You are on the right track timD. I guess you should look at who has remained on the board.

In late July things went very quite from my source, I was told Melbourne remained confident they would get Roos and that is all. I did not hear anything more until Roos said he was 50/50. In hindsight I probably should not have talked early. Will probably work against me next time.......

Is she intending becoming more than Pretty good friends?

He will be on a modified pre season you would think.

Even after last ears pre season you would thnk he would only do 80% of all pre season.

[H_T 3,049]

I know modified pre-seasons happen for a fact, but I'm sick of hearing the 'cotton wool' term.

Just like "it is what it is" ...

You like Days of Our Lives, don't you?
