Can't help thinking he may have held us back this year.  

You have zero credibility, and this is why.

Are you the poster who logged up over 2000 posts insisting Scully will stay with us?

No, but how would it even be relevant to you talking rubbish?

Yes you are.

Factually incorrect, but I ask again... relevance?
Desperate to change the topic from your ridiculous post?

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.
If you're relying on Scully leaving as a crutch for your credibility, you're going to be disappointed.

I'm a Hogan critic but that is rubbish that he held us back this year. I know we have beaten 2015 Geelong and 2016 Hawks without him, but we are 2-1 without him in the side. Hardly a big sample size, if we were 6-2 without him then perhaps it'd have some merit.

His attitude and goalkicking need work but make no mistake he is a huge talent and if he fixes those up he'll probably be the best key forward of his generation.

I think it is a valid argument. Despite the small sample size our forward line has not functioned with the same fluidity and efficiency  against quality opposition since our big win over the swans back in the Bailey days. And we have to go back to 2006 for similar offensive elan. Not just the fact that we won.  Those two games stand out like goat glands of the Roos era.

Mate, our forwardline hasn't functioned because we've been [censored]. You are cherry picking 3 games (Remember the Hawks absolutely smashed us in 2015 without Hogan as well), it isn't valid at all.

That was round 7 and early in his career and we only got the Hawthorn monkey off our back that's been there for a decade this year.  Anyway my argument can be measured next season.

You need to correct your memory. Hawkins debut was in round 2,  2007 the year they started their AFL domination and won the flag. In round 3 and his second game that year he kicked 4 goals against us in a brutal hiding. That game confirmed the beginning of our painfully long decline and the beginning of Geelong's  rise.

After Geelong beat us they had a couple of poor losses against Hawthorn and North. After the North loss, and on the same day we lost a squeaker to Port, the Cats beat Richmond by about 250 goals. That was the day the announced they meant business.

Anyone with a pair of eyes and half a brain for football can tell that Jesse is a supremely talented footballer who is already pretty damn good. If Jesse played in those two games we would have won by more. It has been a long time since our midfield gave the kind of service it did in that Hawthorn game.

I think as a club/list we're in a far better position to cope with life without Jesse if that eventuated,  i don't think it will but our wins against Geelong and Hawthorn show that the talent on the list is good enough to cover the loss of probably any player outside Gawn

Great talent no doubt but no superstar yet. Even spud Membery has had a better season without all the hoopla.

 

 


Surely he knows a hashtag of #staytuned is going to be a mind [censored].

He's like the hot bird who parades herself in front of you saying "you know you want this".

Yes, I do. Very much. Now please give it.

I'd go as far as to blame him for the fact we haven't won a flag in over 50 years.

At least we've moved on from blaming Jack Watts.

it's Jack Watts fault we're now blaming Jesse Hogan.

This is getting a bit silly now. SWYL will set you all straight, it's Cam Schwab's desk's fault.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
