Dangerfield once visited his family in Geelong when he played for Adelaide. Look how that turned out..

We've got a game in 4 days, probably not the ideal preparation to take 2x4 hrs flights mid week.

It's nothing mate.  Given a few days off to visit his family.

it's definitely not 'nothing'. There are hundreds of players at clubs outside their home state. How many of them just take off during the middle of a regularly fixtured round for a visit? The answer is one.

There are plenty.

Righto Curry.  Go ahead and get your knickers in a twist.

I'm impressed that you know the comings and goings of each player from every club in the competition.  Must take up plenty of your time.

 

They send all the young players home every now and then. 

Hopefully all the stupid media coverage of Hogan will convince him to sign on for 25 years at the Dees so he doesn't have to go through this rubbish every few years.

Don't ruin my entertainment with your lodgic

On Footyology (Channel 31 show with Rohan Connolly and Mark Fine) they mentioned that during the week David Schwarz gave a speech at Melbourne and apparently Hogan wasn't all that receptive after Schwarz's criticism of Hogan's kicking earlier in the year.

You can tell he clearly misses Perth. You only have to look at his Instagram posts. Add to that family issues...and his [censored] attitude; I'm very confident that he'll be gone by the end of the year. Happy to be proven wrong.

Roos explained quite succinctly about the younger players going home on AFL 360......that is the reason that quite often a player is missing from the VFL  for no apparent reason.  A senior player is not going to get a weekend off but they try to get them home as well ....Hogan is still a very young man......& if you had heard Hogan's interview .....he made it very clear that he was definitely not there to see Freo

What are his Instagram photos

I read there are a few visiting family this week. Not sure how true.

Wrong. C and B said Hogan is the only player ever to visit family.

Why do you look at his Instagram posts?

Not sure what's wrong with his attitude either.  I hope you'll still be happy to be proven wrong at the end of the year.

Hogan being allowed to visit home occasionally is often cited as one of the reasons he and his family are very happy with the MFC.

But not in the same week as we've had an interstate game. Family reasons are logical, but not necessarily a good sign.

Didn't we give Scully some time off for family reasons? And didn't Scott Thompson want to go home for family reasons?

I'm worried.

I think it was mentioned 2 other Dees young players were at home this week, outside of the city of Melb as well.

I'm sick of all this media exposure already, and he's signed until next September. You wonder if it'll start affecting his performance if he remains under so much scrutiny, to the point where the media are starting to question if an interstate family visit could be a visit to Fremantle FC.

Maybe if they keep bringing it up he'll just re-sign to get the camel off his back? :)

I didn't know that. But it would take ages to fly around the circumference of Phil.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
