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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
