no chf, no ff, no ruckman, no 2nd ruckman. other than that, everything looks rosy

Adelaide are way too tall, for us. Jacobs will have a bath as will their forwards. Backs will shut us down easily.  Melbourne by 2 goals.

Melbourne on the rebound after last weeks loss will be a difficult proposition for Adelaide...

What I didnt get was why Kent only got to play one game as opposed to 2 or 3. Aside from his form (which was at least a pass) in his one game why was he not afforded the chances that so many others have had? 

 

He played two games. Laid one tackle both weeks.

Not looking good: "Hogan missed training on Thursday through illness and did not show up with teammates at Melbourne Airport today ahead of Saturday night's clash against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval".  (AFL website)

My heart sank reading that.

Grrrrrrr!  Will the NSC never leave our club!

Need to make do with what we have.

I think we'll be without him for a while

Do you have more info?

Not sure how to ask this delicately...is this part of the grieving process?  Understandable if it is. 

Wish him well.

look on the bright side.... we could all look back on this match as the Weids break out match

it is hard to see many other positives out of the coming weekend

Didn't Weids do that (kicked 2, was it?) in our win against Hawthorn last year? And if superstition is to play a part, let's not forget that Hogan was absent for both of our biggest wins against all odds... Geelong at Skilled and then Hawthorn at the MCG.  Could this be the trifecta?

Indeed that is so bb but  I believe we still have enough time to get off said thin ice provided we get a favourable result in the next few events.

Can't you hear it cracking ?:(

If Hogan is out then I'd prefer Petracca to play at full forward and for either Stretch or ANB to come in.

Agree. We should play our next best player rather than like for like. Hannan may be able to play full forward or maybe OMac could be tried. I really would like to see Stretch play.

If Hogan is out we may as well go with Weeds. You don't draft a kid in the first round unless you rate them. He isn't kicking the door down but we need to get games into him if he is part of our future plans.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
