To be fair, that stat is hardly definitive on watts' output delivering to the forwards.

    At first I couldn't see Hogan at all, then realised he was in the top corner.

    Amazing.

    A bit of a feel-good story from the Club but I love reading about Jesse: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-09-23/hogans-rising-star-a-reward-for-club

    Incredible maturity and of generous spirit: "...young key forward Jesse Hogan says his 2015 NAB AFL Rising Star victory was a reflection of where the club is heading – rather than his individual performance...“It’s an individual award and you don’t look too much into that. I think it’s more of a reflection of the team and where we’re at with two players in the top five,” Hogan told Dee TV. ..“It shows that we’ve got that youth and that we’re developing the right way..."

    It was interesting to hear him talk highly of our elite strength and fitness department. Misson and co can take a bow.

    Me thinks we will see his petulance disappear next year as he matures further.

    Please don't say "me thinks"...

    I don't mind some petulance but it was so odious at times - just needs to be more subtle with how he reacts to delivery (not like Richo) and the umpires (not like Jack Riewoldt)...

    Not sure why it bothers you 'rpfc'. While it is comes from Shakespeare it is still a relatively common word(s).

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/methinks:

    Alternative forms :me thinks, mythinks, my thinks

    methinks (past tense: methought)

    (archaic or humorous) It seems to me.

    Similar description in my hardcopy 'Oxford'

    So is odious your word of the day?

    Why not? It's a perfectly cromulent word.

    It totally embiggens any vocabulary.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
