Wasn't Jack Grimes brought in for his first game late in his first or second year at the club? I reckon it was worthwhile for him WJ.

It was the last game of 2008, which IIRC was Grimes's first season. We got pelted that day by Richmond, and it was the farewell game for Jeff White, Adem Yze and Ben Holland.

Fair call.

But I reckon Saty can fight his own battles.

It was a general discussion. Group hug?

Anyway, doesn't seem to have had any impact on Jesse's allegiance to Melbourne given recent news. He's obviously willing to put up with another 3 years of in-jokes from crazed Demonlanders.

I think you and Machsy really do need to revisit that specialist about those feelings of inadequacy you both keep getting, as I have said many times before, don't read my posts, it won't make me tear-up, I have stopped reading both of yours unless there is something like the above which needs clarifying

Not trying to make you tear up, but there's a palpable sense of self-importance there, and it makes you say silly things.

Why you feel the need to tell the kid he has "30 pages of nervous posters" rattling about his health, is beyond me.

I don't think the kid is ignorant, but I also don't think he needs to hear this stuff from a fanboy hanging over the fence.

It's just weird.

Agreed, M.

I genuinely enjoy your training reports, Saty and I thank you for them, but the irony in the above post is, it's your own ego/insecurities that annoy me. Happy to read your posts when they're not either 1) lampooning other posters for having a different view to your own or 2) pumping your own tyres up. Unfortunately, some of your posts tend to fall into these two categories.

PS. I hate making things about ourselves. We're here to discuss the MFC, let's just try and do that.

?

It's just a difference of opinion guys.

I cringe. He doesn't.

The end.

You have posted twice more on the subject after saying "the end" simply prolonging the garbage that these threads descend in to.

Stop.

I never thought it would.

I just get a sense of chagrin when I read that stuff.

My issues obviously.

That you would say such a thing fills me with chagrin. Clearly you don't read Demonland enough:

Didn't Chagrin play for Melbourne in the late 80s? Dean or something or other?

Looking forward to seeing him in the red & blue. 5-6 weeks.

Saty?

oh thats right, its a Jesse Hogan thread. Almost forgot, with all that bulls#$t about Saty

Didn't Chagrin play for Melbourne in the late 80s? Dean or something or other?

Not getting mixed up with Schadenfreude? Holger was it? Only played that one game, tragic what happened.

A lot of people managed to find some joy in that tragedy...

Now, that's funny

Where is the hindsight?

A poster on here saw him having treatment on his back before the Geelong game, that game exacerbated the injury, Hogan won't play for a further 2 months and counting.

That was a poor decision to play a 19 year old key position player in a practice match with a sore back.

We all make innocent mistakes - this was one.

And I understand that all players don't go into games 100% - he's a 19 year old blue-chipper in a practice match.

I am sure they are happy to wear the criticism.

Here is the confirmation - the club made a mistake - whodathunk it?

Hogan said his back injury came to a head when he played for Melbourne against Geelong in the club’s second NAB Challenge match in Alice Springs, back in February.

“It was a bit sore going into the game, but the physios insisted it was just tightness. I was training as though I was feeling OK and I was a bit aware of it, but it affected me during the game in the third quarter, when I tried to kick it,” he said.

“My whole body seized up and I’ve gone ‘this isn’t tightness’. I basically couldn’t run in the last quarter and then I woke up the next morning and I was basically the same – I was just stiff.

Gotta hand it to him, he speaks well on camera for a young bloke.

Damn you rpfc, I just saw the thread title and dropped my cup of tea. Thought he was injured again.

Dangerous drinking tea - you could get a nasty scald. Better with a good red - far safer.

Wine stains worse than tea though, if you drop it.

Still can't see it?

Thread dead almost 2 years, bumped for one snarky comment about someone not rating a player.

Is it possible for someone to be reported for petulance?

It's a legitimate question.

Is there an expiry date on posts?
