just got home from the prelim to find my MFC membership letter

it has Jesse Hogan photoshopped in a melbourne jumper alongside Viney, Grimes, Trengove, Jones and Frawley

seriously that is embarassing

also stiff to Garland, Jamar, Sylvia, Watts, Clark, Dawes, McKenzie, Howe even Terlich, Matt Jones and Tommy Mac, all of whom have earnt a spot before a bloke that has never put on the jumper

I know it is not a big deal, and that Hulky represents a type of potential we have not seen at the club in a very long time, but sheesh...

    you have to wonder how these sort of things come to pass.. who is making these decisions? hard to imagine this has Roosy's approval stamped on it

    reeks of amateur hour

    You guys drool all over him all year, get excited by him, talk about him, think he's something that gives up hope... then complain because his photo is on a letter. Wow.

    I hope you go and rip his number off the back of all the little kids jumpers next year and then tell them there's no Santa.

    We're looking to the future, as usual. Whether or not it will be different to the past, who knows.

    I do know I'm looking forward to Hogans first game for the club though and I'm sure a lot of people are - that's our angle cos we ain't got much else right now, that's the brutal truth.

    How is NOT celebrating something "arrogance?" Last time I checked, it was called "humility" (i.e. the opposite of arrogance).

    On the flip side cause we have been so successful over the last 7 years they need to create hope for the future (thats genuine hope cause we have had false hope for to long) along with Roos coming on board so this "potential" star will be plastered all over the Dees promos I would think.

    When u ain't winning u have to sell (genuine) hope and Roos and Hulk help this cause.

    Hogan won't still be a high school kid come QB next year.

    He'll have been out of school and playing against (and beating) men for 18 months by that time.

    he will also have a couple of men looking after him.unlike the last kid we let into the lair

    I can't for the life of me understand why anyone on here would cringe! All long suffering Melbourne supporters hope for a brighter future, and Jesse Hogan is an integral part of that hope. Smart marketing I reckon!

    Plugger hardly ever celebrated after a goal and I'd hardly think he was humble.

    It's not humility. It means you expect to do it and treat the feat accordingly.

    The Dalai Lama wouldn't celebrate after kicking a goal no matter how unexpected it was. But I agree that you don't celebrate things you expect to do, so that could be a perfectly legitimate reason why Hogan didn't celebrate either.

    That's my job. That's what I'm paid to do.

    Not an issue yet but if they go to the lengths they did with Jack (welcome Jack Watts and the Melbourne Demons on to the MCG!), I will be concerned. This is for our eyes only and he is sharing the billing with a few other of the boys.

    Jack Watts and QB it is not.

    "Welcome Jack Watts and the Melbourne Demons on to the MCG!"

    Did they seriously say that?

    I have heard that was the case. Confirmation anyone?

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
