Start worrying if he doesn't sign by start of next season.

We have more players out of contract this year than in contract

Nothing to worry about yet

    Just like your claim?

    C'mon mate, you can play the game better than that.

    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? :)

    To be fair it is just ridiculous. It was on SEN (I know but it puts the kid to sleep) as driving home. They said something along the lines of big news coming out of the  West and it also says hold onto your seats Melbourne fans... Gosage did say "those comments are a fair bit of mayo" on the story but then proceeded to pump it up.

    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.

    ...that you know of

    ...that the media pumps up.

    God, you post some nonsense from time to time.

    Martin, Rockliff, Schache already, Oliver already, these are off the top of my head and I've heard plenty of others over the years. 

    Do you always have to be so argumentative? Especially when your matter of fact post was garbage.

    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.

    you just reckon you know everything don't you. So condescending. Go on then prove it to me that players just taking off in the middle of the week to fly across the country is commonplace behaviour. Obviously it isn't. They live their lives in a strict regiment of activity during the week and you're just a fool living in denial if you claim this is 'nothing'

    he'd be spotted at Ross Lyon's house trying on a guernsey and you'd say 'nothing mate, nothing' with your bloody hands over your ears and your eyes shut

    He'll either stay or go. The important fact is that the #farceshambles days appear to be behind us. We have good people making good decisions both in our administration and our footy department. Trading next years first rounder to ensure we could get both Oliver and Weidemann is indicative of that.

    4 players off the top of your head, well i said there were hundreds to choose from. So youve gone and proven my point. See the post above, it is nowhere near commonplace and you damn well know it

    You were wrong.

    You made an outlandish claim, which is your strength, that only ONE player visits their family during the season.  Can you back that up?  Of course you can't, because it's not true.  As others have said, some of our own draftees and younger players have done this already during the season.

    It's nothing.  Even Roos mentioned it in his press conference yesterday.  I don't claim to know everything, I just don't go over the top about something that is nothing to worry about.

    I believe as a rule of thumb, with the exception of Cloke,  that these moving rumours that never seem to die down usually turn out to be true.  FFS what interest does Hogan have to not kill it now?  I don't think it is all about money like with Cloke.

    yeah well you are familiar with the concept of hyperbole I reckon. Answer the question, is it commonplace or unusual. Is it nothing or something.

    So whose #1 draft pick touted to be this year and next?

    It is common that clubs with a well run player welfare program let players visit home (should it be interstate) during the year. 

    Relax.

    Interesting though that he's in Perth on the same day that Roos gets in the press and tells everyone we won't be paying overs for him.

    ok sorry for saying 1. I forgot the level of pedantry that goes on around here and the inability to detect hyperbole I'll go with DA's huge quantity of 4 out of several hundred - and obviously it doesn't matter for the majority of others where there is no question of some go home factor. I mean seriously, comparing Oliver to Hogan? What he's a chance of returning to his town of population 1000 to play on the ball there is he? You know DAMN WELL there is a REASON it makes the news when Hogan does it because for most others it is not an issue, so stop playing dumb, as natural as it may come to you

    " Even Roos mentioned it " oh you should have said that in the first place, now I'm convinced. FMD.

    the problem is deep down you know what's going to happen and you're finding it very painful to deal with. Don't take it out on me

    I don't know whether you guys got the segment in Vic but I just watched it here in Perf.

    Said that his contract is not about money but rather team success, J Browns comments are no more than a little love for his fellow key forwards and Ross Lyons missus cooks a wicked lamb roast.

    Also, Lachie Reid who interviewed is a passionate Dee's fan who I've had the pleasure of chatting to a couple of times at functions. Apparently Hogan was sitting in cattle class (a sure sign MFC know he's going) but Lachie pulled some strings (ch10 budget strings I'd say) and managed to get Hoges upgraded to Business class.

    Oh, almost forgot... He also donated some bone to Nat Fyfes leg injury.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
