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.

Seriously... Don't Jinx it!

Living in fear. We talk about the team having a losing mentality. The supporters also need to change their tune.

I'm expecting a bag of 6 and BOG performance. Nothing less.

Same here and then we'll sub him off at half time and Brayshaw will come on and get 30 possessions in the second half. Saviours.

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.

Hogan's biggest problem is that GC have two very good key defenders in May and Thompson. It won't be easy for him, especially without a foil, such as Dawes.

Posted

I think he'll need half a season to build into it. Without Dawes there he'll get the Suns best defender. Roos must have a plan for JKH, Garlett, Kent and Frost.

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....

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
