I'm intrigued by Fitzy's fall from the team. Surely he's worth a game? Jordie won't offer us anything in the midfield. At least Fitzy might up forward or back. I dread to think of our forward structure this weekend. Doesn't make sense.

I would guess the tunnel ball stunt basically sealed his fate. Roos doesn't quickly forgive things like that.

Agree. he does a lot of good things but his brain fades are epic - and frequent.

hmmm.... I remember thinking it was odd that Hogan came off after kicking his first goal last week. It was it the first couple of mins.

Watching the replay, it looks like he goes off to get his hamstring worked on. Must have been a little bit tight going into last week.

Explains why he fluffed that kick from outside 50.

Given the guys that are coming back in, surely that's not it.

it is a worry that someone of a hogans age has a back related hamstring- usually a chronic problem seen in older players.

Hogan injured his back last season. It takes time to build up the muscles after an injury like that.

Been on the list for what? 6 Years, for not many games! Nup not up to it! Discard at seasons end!

Roos even mentioned it in the presser as one of the reasons we lost the QB match. Not often Roos picks out a player like that.

Not many 200cm+ guys make it before their 6th year picket. He might go at the end of the season, but it won't be because he's just finished his 6th season at the age of 24.

Fair enough.

He blocked the people who were stalking him. :)

I wish! The closest interaction I've had with the Hulkster was having him hold open a door for me once.

I'll truly hit the big time when we start discussing EPL matches at training.

That's Roosey's fault for not playing him up forward. At least he would have added to the scoreboard!

He was brilliant in defence against the Bulldogs though, but the opposition was less than stellar.

We still, quite simply, have too many players with moments of brilliance and moments of incomprehensible stupidity.

I've seen enough after 40 plus years to write a short novel Lamash. Only wish it was mostly the former but alas. I'm now following the lead of some on here and instead focussing my efforts on JD & other stuff.... like Bailey's Luxe. Great for warming the heart during the cold of winter! :wub:

I'm taking a wild stab in the dark and guessing you're reasonably young Moneider. This is what 40+ years of barracking for the MFC does to you!

Another hamstring. That makes about 7 now. Wtf is Misson doing

It's clear that sports medicine isn't one of your strong points, but numeracy? We have 3 Hamstring injuries (Kent, Salem, VDB ... oh look, all young players ...)

Hogan doesn't have a hamstring injury, he has hamstring tightness. By pulling him out, Misson is doing his job, by, you know, helping to PREVENT injuries (hamstring or other ...)

BTW, lucky you don't follow Fremantle .... currently with 5 Hamstrings. Or Adelaide with 3 bung ankles. Or maybe you'd prefer the Lions with 5 Knees, same number as Geelong, though the Cats are doing better/worse with 4 foot injuries as well, unlike the Swans who seem to be able to limit their injuries primarily to Knees (4, which are 67% of their total) ... etc. etc.

Any good student of history knows what happened after that.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
