The Hulk is missing!! :(

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.

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.

- the Hulk missing

- match preview and team selection

- questions for getting too and from Geelong

- Geelong at Geelong - why the injustice

- changes vs the cats

- the people speak Geelong v Melbourne

Six threads all on the same game.....why?

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.

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

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.

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:

What does that have to do with what he just said? Lol :P

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
