Those expecting Hogan to debut next week, can forget it. He is clearly rusty, not match fit and has had 4 possies at the 17 min of the last quarter. According to the Casey radio guy, he has been soundly beaten by his opponent, Fletcher Roberts, whoever he is.

Blease and bull are both on, neither doing too much I'm afraid. Same as most Melbourne listed players today. Any questions feel free, will see what I remember as was a big night last night.

Better for a run though. Knows where he is now and can get to work.

Oh well, no fairytale return this year. Need to get a big pre-season into the lad.

Toump likewise.

Not true at all. Match fitness would be a worry but the rest of that statement is rubbish. Casey radio bloke has no idea

what's the bonus for tanking in the vfl?

learning the game plan

Goal to the Bulldogs to give them a 28 point lead into time on in the last.

Last couple to the doggies..

6 gls down - few mins to go.

Well what is the true position then? Has he played well according to you? Do you expect him to play next week for the Dees, on the back of today?

I am interested to hear what you saw today.

Pedersen gets his third out of eight goals for Casey and there goes the siren

Would be very very surprised if he played senior footy this year, match fitness is the only reason for that though. Delivery was horrible today. Kicked over his head with the wind a few times, was double teamed in a few contests and went third man up for the spoil on 3 occasions. Had about 4 good one on ones and won 3 of those so to say his opponent had the better of him is incorrect. Wouldn't have played half the game I'd say and half of that was when we had the wind against us so the ball didn't enter our forward half.

Still an open bar at your place in Romsey after the game BBO?

We could always run our own club.

That would be novel.

Thanks. Well at least he didn't get injured and got a bit of match practice.

Pretty much how I saw it too. Had a run, and no injuries. He's very vocal on and off the ground which is a good quality and hates losing contests. Had a ball kicked over his head and his opponent marked it, he swore very loudly but turned straight away and smothered the ball to our advantage which was good to see

BBO I need you to pick something up from a mate of mine in Crazyburn.

He is wearing terrible tracksuit with three stripes,unshaven,no teeth,looks a bit fidgety.

He will pass it to you in a shopping bag.

I will get it off you later.

Thanks mate.

Sorry Biff, but I couldn't find him, there were dozens of people, men and women, looking like that.

Just back from the game. An interesting experience. Went to see Hogan of course but the doggies kicked with the wind so Hoges only caught a chill in the first quarter. In fact as well as a wind advantage you also got the slope advantage - the ground falls as much as Lords Cricket Ground it seems. At times, every player was inside the fifty at that end.

Hogan showed his skills in the second quarter. He took a contested mark, led and marked and used his strength to win a contested ball. He kicked a goal and was generally in the play.In the third quarter he spent about 12 minutes on the bench but might as well of stayed on it as Casey only had one inside 50.

He was a bit frustrated in the final quarter as the ball was bombed to him and gave him little chance under those conditions. The second quarter showed his class but he is still short of being AFL ready IMO. In any event I could see no purpose in taking a risk this season.

Pedo played a bloody top game. Battled against big Cordy and busted his gut around the ground. Jordie McKenzie snapped a magnificent goal (believe it or not). Blease took the field on a couple of times and though he got caught Casey missed his pace when he stayed off after half time. JKH did a bit and Toump popped up a couple times but they were not stand outs.

We were generally outclassed and deja vu there were some shocking turnovers.

Pies were good but as I took the Merc, I kept off the grog. Will remedy that now, while watching the dees.

You took the Merc?

Is there anything of your neighbours you dont borrow?

Do we ever run through the middle of the ground?

I think he meant mercan biff. The shave after the heart procedure must have led to this unfortunate accessory.

3 big names out for them now.
What are the chances we win this by default.

Haha and people wanted Hogan to debut straight away next week!

Nuffies

Good to hear Pedo played well, that is fantastic news.

He better get used to it!
