Incredibly frustrating that he played all of last year but was ineligible.

It seems that when we get serious injuries it virtually guarantees we won't see the player again.....

God we are cursed.

 

because i speak the truth and I am right every single time

I admit that is astounding

and Watts according to you is 100% dropped this week

correct - you get it right every time about 10% of the time.
 

Ever thought that he may not, with an uncertain injury, have been offered an extension at this stage, or even that he may be "doing the right thing" and declined to negotiate just in case he is not able to continue (heaven forbid)??

He was offered the extension before the injury.

Every time ?


And some peanut above called Pennant St Dee has a go at me when i question our deplorable injury management and rehab practices

FFS - yes, he had a sore back before being kneed. So does that necessarily mean that the knee aggravated a preexisting injury : maybe the knee did it? Did you see X-rays or scans before the kneeing? If not you are only speculating - AND as frustrated by our injuries as all of us. It is a brutal contact sport. Injuries happen. We do seem to get more than our fair share which frustrates even more as we have been struggling and can't afford the missing stars and potential stars.

For all we know, Hogan insisted on being played despite knowing he wasn't 100 per cent. It's a symptomatic injury so medical probably relied on his word. If he voiced concern of any sort, they wouldn't have played him.

Anyway, we've been patient enough thus far. If we have to wait until next season to see him, so be it. If we continue to be supportive and caring throughout this period, he will hopefully feel somewhat indebted to showing us a commitment in return for our patience.

Harmes punctured his lung on the weekend

Good point, forgot about that
 

I happy to wait with Jessie... Give him all the time he needs... We didn't wait with watts and we jumped to early with the Trengove captaincy... Id say the longer we wait the better... Maybe give him two three game at the end of the year... And make sure he has plenty of big man support... Playing him without Dawes, Jamar and Fitzpatrick in the team, may lead to him losing confidence... He'll need a lot of cover from them, so he can ease his way in to the team full time...

Poor bloke.

Get him right anx healthy. No rush as Dawesy said he is a 10 year player for us.


I doubt he would make that much of a differents anyways. They shouldn't rush him back.

I am getting some bad karma about all this. Fingers crossed I suppose but I am mindful of the worst case scenarios that we always seem to have to deal with at this club.

What is Patton's contractual status like? Another one with an injury riddled past.


This has got to be so frustrating for him. He played all of last year with practically no issues to speak of until he copped a minor knee injury for Casey at the end, was being managed over the pre-season (makes me wonder whether this sounded out earlier) and then bang right at the end of pre-season his back puts him out.

I totally agree with the approach the club is taking, at the end of the day his wellbeing is the best thing for both the club and player. We want him here for the long haul and if we look after him hopefully he and his family with feel a sense paying the faith. Looking for him to notch up a few games late in the season and as someone said he should play with the protection of Dawes around.

Can't shake a very bad feeling about young hoges... I've run into about 3 times in the last few months out and about. Doesn't seem to be a very happy bloke. Seems to just mope around. Of course could just be his personality but just dosnt look like a happy guy. Can't help but feel if he doesn't get on the park soon and form some sort of bond with the other guys he's guna end up asking for a trade home. I left the game tonight straight after the final siren went and started walking into Richmond. When I got to the precinct, I saw hogan walking up the street, stop and peer into the window and then keep walking. I would have thought he would have been in the rooms with the rest of the team after the game but no. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I had the same feeling with scully... Rant over

Who has not peered into the Precinct wondering whether its open or not? It always looks shut 'cept when you go by late at night and for reasons only known to themselves youthful types are queuing to get in down the side street. Back in the day it was much easier to work out if The Depot was open.

No rush with Jessie Hogan. I doubt the club is taking any risks with his long term future.

I agree with everything EXCEPT that we get more than our fair share. Looking at injury lists since the beginning of the season we are better than some and worse than others. I think the big difference is that our talent pool is so thin we cannot afford to have anyone who is half decent out injured.

That nails it nutbean


Patton, Dawes and Hogan.. now there's a forward line the rest of the competition would [censored] their pants over.

Not sure what would make GWS want to give away a former number 1 pick in Patton, one they have put 3 years into developing.

Unless he suffers another serious injury, in which case - why would we want to go near him?

To have the best forward line on paper?

Why are you surprised he may not be 'happy'? He wants to get out and play football, he sees his cohorts playing every week, and all he can probably feel is debilitating back pain and limited movement.

Back pain is notorious to fix. On top of that there may be some social stigma that it's not 'real', even though it can be one of the mpost severe pains you can experience (maybe short of kidney or gall stones).

I damaged my back with a pulled muscle last year doing something as simple bending over to do up a shoe lace. It took six weeks (aided by Dr Voltaren) just to get over that. The pain was excruciating, every move hurt, and I was just trying to walk and sit without agony, let alone run or play football.

 

They have Boyd to fill the void. ;)

Well who knows, maybe Patton will want to come back home. I ran into him plenty of times in Melbourne over the last two years during the season (while he was injured), so the club didn't even force him to stay up in Sydney during recovery.

And the fact is they'll have to start offering low ball contracts to all their players showing potential, while player managers start asking for offers from other clubs. We will have more salary cap space this year than any other team in the league.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
