Hogan to finally make debut.



Recommended Posts

Can't wait to see him in AFL action....no more cotton wool.

Just hope our mid range players retaliate before somebody looks at JH.

Thinking about the last time I saw Hogan play, it was just over two years ago on the Gold Coast in a NAB challenge match.

He kicked a few and tore it up, Watts was BOG that day too. Based on this evidence Hogan will kick a handful on Saturday, CARN DEES!

In an ideal World, Hogan will combine with Watts tomorrow to kick a bag, with Garlett, Frost, Kent, JKH and Vandenberg putting the icing on the cake! Let's hope for a massive statement tomorrow to show that we are back!

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.

Hogan will be a star and the only thing that will stop him is injury and we need some luck. We've been cruelled by injury or exceptional circumstances for as long as I can remember eg Tilbrook coming and then being a dud, Shwarz's knee, Jurrah's plight, Clark being dishonest, Petraca doing his knee, Lyon breaking his leg on eve of finals, Robbie Flower retiring early, Jimmy Stynes' giving Hawthorn the chance to win that final, Hawthorn avoiding the merge and going from strength to strength whilst we languished.......It certainly tests your resolve to be a Demon, but you have to have hope and can never stop your support. Hogan, Stretch, Brayshaw, Petraca........

I think I mispelt Petracca.

Even If Hogans drawing the best defender, he'll provide a target and pivot for other forwards to work with and off him.

Especially with the hype the Suns will be very conscious off him, I'd expect this focus will create space for the small forwards to create, especially early on in the game, or if Hogan kicks a couple.

I'd be happy to see 4 or 5 of our mids pick up 25 possessions....

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
