Well, in Hogan's case, it's not really a serious injury.

Says who.

We have seen innocuous injuries turn into months out at the Dees. I hope this is not another.

Amazing how it always seems to be us.

Dawes can never get on the park and when he does can't string games together. Clark, well no need to comment. We wait patiently for this kid for a year and then this.

    Don't fancy pulling pillow duck feathers from between my teeth for weeks thereafter.

    I didn't say share the bed.

    Do a bit of googling and you will find out that what Hogan has is not serious... it only has the potential to become serious if he fails to rest.

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

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

    ....and others will no doubt enjoy saying yet another example of shocking / disgraceful recruiting : imagine drafting a guy who allows himself to be kneed in the back, and / or one who is such a wimp that he won't play regardless. Shocking club culture already rubbed off on him

    That depends on if we are being told the truth.

    True... but careful, that could be construed as showing symptoms of MFCSS ;-)

    I don't think the loss of the big forwards is that big an issue, if we get the ball in the hands on Vince, Toumpas and Watts i'll back them to find a target up forward, and Howe, Pederson, Fitzy, Kennedy-harris and co aren't terrible

    It was massive today.

    It was massive today.

    Wouldn't have changed the result obviously. At worst would've padded the scoreboard but probably would've given some more confidence to the ball movement as well. For example when someone kicked to Pedersen who slid for the ball, had the ball deflect from his legs after dropping the mark and rebounded for a Hawthorn goal. There were plenty of times where a kick towards Fitzy or Pedersen resulted in a turnover and shot on goal at the other end.

    ... but what was massive was the fact that I didn't see any evidence of any of our talls limbering up for the Casey game later which means that those who did play in the intraclub game a fortnight ago like Gawn and Dawes and others like Jamar who was supposed to be close must have suffered relapses because they have gone from being on the way back to definitely being out for round 1.

    At least nobody will be sucked into thinking we start against St. Kilda as odds on favourites.

    Yep it will be Pedersen, Fitzpatrick and Howe come round 1. Although now I'm considering if we will be better just with Fitzpatrick and Howe and the extra small running target like Bail.

    The young man is as frustrated as we are. Won't even be training for at least two weeks.

    That shows the desperate situation we find ourselves in, we replace Pedersen with Bail.

    Other than one is taller than the other I struggle to see the difference.

    So apparently Roos said on 360 last night something to the effect that there's no time frame on Jesse being fit again?

    He said nothing different to what has been reported

    Football speak for they have no idea DA

    I reckon he'll be right for Round 2, but Round 1 is a furphy.

    I'm happy to see how Fitzy, Howe and Pedersen handle the load on their own.

    Couldn't pick a better team to do it against and still expect a win.

    Someone rang into the Ox on SEN this arvo to say that his mail was Hogan would not play this year. The caller was p!ssed that the club was keeping its members in the dark about player injuries. Ox said hogan would be nearer 3-4 weeks than 6-8 weeks and the club said that he would begin running this weekend. Was all a bit of light banter and speculation.

    • 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.

      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?
