OP - look at these forward's early stats. Hogan, though . . . (insert comment along the lines of - is even better in comparison).

What does Hogan Though mean?

Damn, I cannot read when commas are missing and upper & lower case is mixed up.

Thank you.

I am such an old fart when it comes to the written word.

Sorry gentlemen,

Refer to urban dictionary:

To add more unecessary words to a sentence....though is not really used for much when coming at the end of an already complete sentence.
What up though?

When you coming over though?

His fit was clean though.

Hope this helped.

And one massive statistic that hardly gets mentioned is that we average the lowest amount of inside 50's in the competition...therefor making it even harder for our forwards to kick goals...if we average 53 inside 50's instead of 43 inside 50's ...one would think hogan would have 15% more goals to his name ,,possibly around 37...

Wouldn't it be awesome if one of them really got hold of a game before the season is out

Im talking a bag of 8 or 9

Can't see Garlett doing that, but Hogan could certainly bag 7 or 8.

When was the last time a Melbourne player kicked 10? Was it Lyon in 94?

So both you and someone who created an urban dictionary entry don't understand the word "though"...

Cool story though.

Think there have been a couple of games where Garlett has had at least 6 or 7 shots on goal. It's a pity he can be very inaccurate.

Great site for checking records, the season summaries are especially clear - http://afltables.com/afl/afl_index.html

I wonder if Hogan and Garlett are having any friendly competition about end of season tally?

Right now they are tied on 32 - the last time we had a tie it was Neitz and Farmer on 30 apiece in 1997.

I am very comfortable with Hogan/Garlett evoking thoughts of Neitz/Farmer!

Now, who will be our modernised Robbo?

[starts scouring phantom drafts]

Could be a friendly competition but Jeffy is very unselfish in front of goal. He handpasses or kicks it to a teammate regularly.

GD, quoting the "urban dictionary" does not really help.

The upper case T on though is an anomaly though.

Some of the examples you provided are non English. (What up though? - I have no idea what that means. )

So I remain confused. Thank you for attempting to enlighten a grumpy old pedant.

Edit:- Personally I tend not to accept words that are not in the Macquarie Dictionary circa 2000.

I find statements like - the get go- off of - an abomination. I am old fashioned.

Forget the comparisons and other stuff. It's clear we have finally picked up a genuine gun (possibly a generational player). Let's enjoy what we've got. Let's hope the MFC can pay him whatever shite load of money is needed to contract him forever. Let's hope Petracca is a gun. Let's hope that Brayshaw continues inhis development.

Let's hope the [cens ored] we win a premiership!!

Soon!!

Has some cockiness/cheek about him. Love it.

That was awesome, thanks for posting. Interesting that he grew up a Crows supporter, maybe people can stop posting that stupid pic of him wearing a Freo scarf now

Billy Brownless dropping hints Jesse should move to the Cats - "You seem to spend a lot of time on that side of town"

Jesse - "Absolutely dreaming" :) :)

that would be predominantly me doing that. Ruffles feathers, stirs the pot, gives me some joy in my otherwise sad life. That kind of thing.

not necessarily mandee

this was a thread title and as such a title or heading (not a normal sentence)

it is not uncommon to capitalise all words in a heading (including insignificant words) but it is also not necessarily universal

ymmv

I feel instantly sick anytime someone mentions him moving to another club (joking or not).

To hear people like Dunstall say he is miles ahead of where Franklin was at the same stage of his career.

Lock him away until 2020 at least!!!

Your being too kind.

The big question is, does he have the longevity and consistency....

In the year 2020 where will he be at in 5 years from now....

He has played a great year in the VFL as a 17 year old

1 season of injury...

Followed up by a injury free excellent debut year in the AFL, earning the highest praise from experts, legends and greats of the game.

I take the ""all in" approach sometimes...but...we should offer him OVERS

Respect to those who recruited him...but job half done...lock him in.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
