    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
