Don't any of you simpletons remember who was "most efficacious" ?

No. I forgot all about it while pondering the difference between a simile and a metaphor ... :-)

    If this happened after the cats game why did they wait till today to have scans?

    While some will say yet another example of MFC incompetence, how about:

    sore back, not getting better, better have a closer look, scan.....

    This kid hasn't even played an AFL game for us and we are acting like our best player is out.

    WHY ME WORRIED?!

    Stupid club drafting kids with soft spines.

    Dank &Co, with their medicinal compounds, were aspiring to so be.

    Maybe we should start drafting robots to prevent this issue happening again?

    Herald Sun today ran a story about how Hogan is going to lead our forward line for round 1.

    I'm pretty sure this is all their fault.

    So all in all I was dead on in my analysis. DB heard that the kid was in for scans and slapped the worst possible interpretation on it to make it into news. The reality is that he has a fairly minor back complaint and is light duties until it comes good. So sayeth The Club.

    Is this DB's first fail of the year?

    Cause you don't go booking expensive MRI's after every player has a bit of a sore back from copping a knee into it. You let him rest and wait a few days and then if it doesn't settle you get a scan. It's not like he hasn't been able to walk, he's just had some persistent soreness.

    Not that I'm sticking up for DB, but he said Hogan had back issues and would most likely miss the start of the season. Hogan has back issues and will most likely miss the start of the season.

    Expensive MRI, I have just had one it was $200 smackers.

    Not sure if they charge more for footy clubs but $200 ain't earth shattering tm.

    Take your point on waiting a few days though.

    Little else to offer, they look graceful when flying, hunt fish and can float.

    Much more to offer than Barrett I would say.

    Right. I get it that we all hate the guy, but at least use facts otherwise you're the same as him.

    I had one on my ankle two days ago at the Epworth in Richmond. $540. So still not cheap

    Our club must be cursed!! Everything that could have conceivably gone wrong over the last 3 years has. When will we get some luck?

    Was really looking forward to Hogan's debut, with the injury he has sustained this could be weeks to months away.

    when we somehow lift the norm smith curse lol

    What worries me is that if I remember correctly, we haven't signed Jesse for 2015 yet. (Someone please tell me I'm wrong)

    If that's the case, and he has a frustrating, injury riddled season this year, it will diminish our chances of securing him.

    If, however, he plays well in a promising team, he is less likely to get homesick.

    I'm not repeating what is contained in the first few pages of this thread.

    Amazing how many of you turn so quickly from frothing at the mouth, dying to see Hogan play to 'oh, we weren't really going to see him much this year anyway'.

    Seriously, just admit you're as [censored] off as the rest of us that he won't be running out in Round 1 and save us all this 'that's just footy' rubbish.

    lol, no... its called pulling your head in and being realistic - instead of expecting this 18 year old kid to play 24 games and take out the coleman.

    you will see him around round 3-4.

    it will be fine.

    You're wrong. As he was ineligible to play in his first year due to the mini draft status he's signed for next year as well. Ideally we get him extended by the end of the year so we don't go through Frawley all over again with Hogan. But this injury shouldn't stop him from getting a run of games at some stage. I hope his agent advises him if he's happy in Melbourne it's better for his footy to just sign on and not have to deal with contract speculation as a 20 year old key forward next year.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • 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?
