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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
