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.

    Has Hogan's instagram disappeared for anyone else?

    Still there for me

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
