    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.

    I just hope Weed doesn't have another shocker. Want to see him do well.

    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

    On the AFL site they just suggested Weideman would a good replacement for Hogan, as they are like for like.

    Oh really!

    not yet...only refers to a time....not the event !!

    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.

    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?

    They're both over 190cm. Hence like for like.

    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.

    Weideman just needs to give us an option in attack and hopefully jag a couple of goals.  Let the mosquito fleet kick the majority of the goals and put on the pressure.

    Hogan offically ruled out... Huge loss, not so confident now

  • Quote

    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.

    Hogan's season mirroring ours.

    Not sure what the alternative is.

    Still think we'll get the job done.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
