Can I ask why there isn't the same rumours going around for Patrick Cripps.  From country WA played at East Fremantle, if the Dockers are chasing young WA stars this guy would be very high on their shopping list.  You can build a midfield around this bloke he will be a super star of the game.

Because Cripps is contracted until the end of 2019.

Because it's us, and the media knows that many of our supporters are riddled with MFCSS and still have PTSD from the Scully situation.
That combined with the fact Freo have been crying out for a decent forward, not a midfielder.

The media rates Melbourne's ability to hold onto a player less than it rates Carlton's ability to hold onto a player.

That would take him close to RFA, by that stage the AFL would have canned the compensation picks for Free agents.

Every player can be a free agent of sorts these days. Depends on how much they sook, tug on mummy's apron strings  and dummy spit. It's a character thing. 

This is what makes the Cam McCarthy thing so fascinating. Of all the coaches in the league I would have thought the one with the least tolerance for this sort of behaviour is Ross Lyon (remember Col Sylvia?). 

I think it goes to show that this no D*#khead policy that gets thrown around is a bit of an external misnomer. 

Ross would love to have Jesse. But my god he's going to have to pay and I don't know what he's got except years of draft picks that are a huge risk to give up if you look at the age profile of their list.

We are, for once, in the box seat.

To put a finer point on it: more Carlton supporters in the media than Demon ones.

Because in Feb this year Cripps signed an extension until 2019.  So no headlines there. 

About the same time, Jesse announced he was deferring contract talks until the CBA and sees how MFC season pans out.  So he attracts the full force of media interests and all sorts of rumours.

Cripps and Hogan play different roles but are having totally parallel careers.  Cripps saw fit to sign up with a bottom of the ladder side.  Jesse has not, yet...

He can't even carry out the basics, like kicking the ball, seems a few screws loose to me as well, Freos pick 12 or whatever would be a fair deal.

HE did smash his knee into the post and looked like it affected him all day. I would have been in a [censored] off mood as well. Please remember he is only 21-22 and everyone expects him to be the savoir.

Fantastic first half playing lead up CHF role taking 7 marks.

 

Could barely run let alone leap thereafter.

 

He looked super sore.

Hogan and Viney both looked incredibly sore for most of the game.

Saw him singing the team song after the win, and looked completely disinterested . Everyone else was head up smiling at each other  and Hogan was just barely mouthing the words and staring at the floor.

You're not wrong there, i dont bother with the superfooty aka carlton, richmond, geelong podcast anymore.

The first half of the year was entirely collingwood and richmond content all over the media. [censored] em. Blackout.

Call me crazy, but he seems like a player that gets depressed about not kicking 5 goals rather than disinterested in his club

Proud forwards may not feel happy when they fail to impact on the scoreboard for the second week running, and have a bruised knee...

efa

He gets super frustrated and his first reaction to not winning the ball in a one-on-one is look back up the field to his teammate and sat "wtf was that" with his body language. Did that 3 or 4 times today. 

He and Garlett have been very lazy lately.

I expect him " to know " in the French sense but not to deliver us single handedly.

In fairness, he did just have to watch that game.

Confirmed: Hogan has informed our club he intends to re-sign. Contract negotiations have begun and will probably be completed this year but could take up to 6 months.

    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. 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
