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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
