The big fella looks like it's finally time to make his debut for the red and blue...wish him all the best and can't wait to watch him smashing packs over on the MCG.

    Whatcha gonna do... I SAID WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU?!!! (I would pay good money to see Jess say this but I think he is a little to introverted to do so).
    P.S. Real American seems a bit odd to use for an Aussie so I posted this.

    Ah.....

    Not sure where you are going with this...

    I will be just glad he finally got on the park for his debut and stays injury free. I don't expect more win or lose on this occasion from him.

    Having watched him closely on Friday night - I'm just hoping he gets a few touches and bags one.

    Don't expect too much just yet, and I'm not tempering my expectations to be cool.

    Mitch Brown towelled him up, and his hands look shocking when he did get in front.

    I am angry with Dawes for getting suspended, I hope it's not watts all over again, without a few big bodies to play and have his back, lucky its against the suns who are a young team, lucky its not hawthorn someone like Hodge on him, I think they might put malceski on him.

    When i see him out there on sat at the g - then ill believe it.

    just want to see him get games, & steadily learn the caper from Roosy, & McCarthy. he can smash the packs next year. I'd be happy if he played in the back pocket for awhile, just as long as we start developing him on the stage.

    I'd like to see Viney & Watts start to step up their levels. & TMac.

    Is he somehow more or less lilkely to play than he was yesterday?

    Yes. Both more and less.

    I think part of that came from him being a bit hesitant - it seemed to me as though he was holding back a bit because it was only NAB Challenge and he just wanted to get through and not get injured. Come the real stuff I think he'll play a more attacking game meaning he won't be as fumbly and will crash the packs a bit. Hope so anyway.

    I'm not expecting much. He looked a bit raw during the NAB Cup. I'm not sure if it was because he was holding back as Gonzo mentioned or if he was just trying to get a feel of the game, or both.

    Those loose hands we not a pretty sight and he dropped two absolute sitters but I think that when he gets a better feel of the pacing of an AFL match and gets a bit more confident, body-on-body, he'll be tough to beat.

    He's still a "goal a game" kind of guy even when he looks raw. He just has a natural talent to kick goals so if he can contribute with 1-3 goals and be involved in a few others in his debut I think that will be a massive win, irrespective of his other stats.

    Please, Watts was just a boy, brandished around for marketing purposes.

    Hogan has almost three years, about 20kgs, and a very different mindset to the boy Watts was in 2009.

    I have to say I laughed at the idea that Hogan would need a "few big bodies" to have his back. His *is* the big body!

    Agreed, very different scenario to Watts. I saw Hogan in his first year for Casey be an on-field leader with his physicality and his ability to direct others. He is a beast of a bloke and an absolute mongrel on the field. Very different player than Watts, from both a physical and an attitude perspective...

    Loved last week when he smashed that Essendon loser and gave away the 50.

    Was worth it just to see him show that he can flatten players at AFL level. :)

    He will be our Plugger Lockett . Opposition will be hearing footsteps any time he is in the vicinity.. or even if hes not.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
