After the last 4 or 5 years I am in the Worst Case Scenario school these days. I am utterly sick of it but it just keeps happening like some recurring nightmare!

A bit like your Hood Avatar, as soon as the Thunderbirds were clear of this menace, he would reappear in another episode just to remind us of the evil intent in some people.

I know I have got of the track, but I agree with your sentiments, it is like a recurring nightmare.

Why the hell can't we have some luck with injury, recruiting, Deaths etc etc sheeit has any club ever in any professional sport had our type of misfortune??

Shouldve taken Wines.

Don't get me started!!!!!!

this has to be a joke surely

The AFL owes us compensation picks based on the bad luck we have had the last few years

As soon as Barrett mentioned "concerns with a young Melbourne player" I looked up and just said, seriously what have we done to deserve this!?

Genuine talent that could be important to our future, and he's struggling with stress fractures! I'm seriously getting sick of our crappy luck.

Another quality decision by our then apprentice coach.

Geez that was a howler of a decision and we will pay the price for a long time yet unfortunately.

In the West we are two hours behind so FS not started yet, but I hope Gary took Barrett to task if not he should never let him forget any ridiculous claim that he may never play. FMD you only have to look at Tom Hawkins 2013 to 2014 to see how different a rest for a back injury can make.

But being the staged show it is they will continue to introduce this muck raker as the number 1 story breaker in the business.

Hoges had back issues when he was younger due to (non medical term) issues with growth spurts along the lines of the top half of the body outgrowing the bottom half but he got over them fine. As I have said before he is a 10 year player and this year whilst frustrating requires kid gloves to be used. My understanding from those who have played with him over here and word coming back is the club wants him to get everything 100% right and he is just really frustrated at not being able to get out there. Having done the preseason and the year in the VFL he was busting at the seems to play AFL this year.

Don't worry he will be fine, patience required

As I have said don't get me started but since you have I will say one thing. The decision not to draft a daring, courageous, fleet of foot, in and under in Ollie Wines will possibly go down as the worst recruiting blunder by our club EVER including Diamond Jim Tillbrook!

oh hang on i just realised it was that clueless parasite Damian Barrett that reported this 'news'

LOL

No longer worried

How did we get here? I am grieving over Hogan isn't that enough to deal with at one time?

Fleet of foot? You ever actually watched him play??

Wonaeamirri, Jurrah, Clark, Hogan. Obviously our poor performance is all our own fault and we don't deserve draft assistance.

Pennant love your positive thinking. However this injury scenario has me worried for one. Kids who can't get on the park tend to go home. Scott Thompson spoke recently that 4 years of injury at MFC led him to seek a change back home at Adelaide. We can lament also about Jurrah and recently Mitch who went home, although not to play AFL footy. Not looking great in my mind.

Don't agree, Scott Thompson is also on record saying there were some issues between he and Danners.

Jurrah is just from a totally different background and Mitch Clark is beyond injury.

Luke Shuey & Scott Gumbleton are two I can think of off the top of my head who were injury riddled for the first couple of years and have felt indebted to the clubs who looked after them.

Hoges is a unique kid in more ways then one. Once the club keeps on the right track with Roos and recruiting the right players he will stay.

I reckon Thompson'll make any excuse. He just wanted to go back home.

There only one plan b. Somebody introduce him to John sarno. Please, for the sake of his career.

Funny how Barrett initially said "Hogan won't play again" until Lyon stopped him and made him be more specific in saying this year.

Especially after Clark's retirement, what a thing to say.

He loves feeding off other teams and peoples misfortunes.

I know it's his job but he doesn't have to be such a [censored] about it.

Wasn't it Barrett that reported that he'd miss the first 6 weeks of the season and DL went on a Barrett witch hunt?

Just asking.

If you keep guessing, you'll get some right.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
