The word I am getting is Hogan still a likely starter. He is fit, wants to play, but faces a mixed view from footy department on whether he is mentally ready and physically conditioned. It will come d

Its disappointing Hogan did not get up. It was expected he would last weekend. I never said Hogan was an absolute, just that the club was confident he would come up, that he was likely to play. F

Given it was a shoulder injury he should have been able to do the majority of the 'leg' work so fitness shouldn't be an issue, it'll be if the shoulder is strong enough and I'm sure he won't be picked without a massive fitness test (where's Bryon Pickett when you need him). If they don't bring him in, I don't think it'll be a big problem and we might wait until Gawn is ready before playing a ruck again.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-06-06/no-queens-birthday-return-for-hogan Mahoney quoted as expecting Spencer to be available. Apparently Spencer did high intensity training and had an extra session testing the shoulder at the end. Guess how he pulls up afterwards will be the key...

But we were told Hogan was playing? 

Uh well, one out of nine ain't bad.

I'd bring in JKH - 43 touches at VFL - he is BACK BABY!

I know there is not a lot of love for JHK but he went back and performed, got to hand it to him he is determined to make a go of it. 

Spencer in for mine so Pedo can prop up forward.

Spencer AFL or VFL "depending on matchups" according to Misson. The caveat on matchups is just the fitness guy not overstepping the boundaries of his role by pre-empting selection - clearly Spencer is an upgrade on Pedersen in the ruck (who is an upgrade on TMac as second ruck/forward, who is an upgrade on OMac as a defender) and they view Spencer as 100% fit and primed. Zero doubt in my mind that he's in now.

If the game is close and Collingwood play with the same intensity and desire as against Freo in the last quarter despite a bench full of cripples we won't win. It was a long time ago when we finished off a hard fought game like that and prevailed.  If we win in a canter, hard questions will still not be answered.

I'm expecting a similar intensity to the Adelaide win and a second half dismantling.

Minimum 10 goal victory.

Hogan was always a long shot to return for QB, it would've been right on the edge of his recovery window. 

Spencer has to come back in, we've been getting by without a recognised ruckman for a while but now we actually have someone who can properly compete. Keep Pederson in as our second ruck, and Watts can be played as he should be, a forward.

Spencer seems an obvious choice but understand that Grundy is a very mobile ruckman and will run him hard, he may not have the fitness to go with Grundy and if not we are one down.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't come in.

I'm interested to see how Goody handles this one, there are arguments both ways and I don't see it as a certainty.

I trust we will get it right.

We will  be favourites for the match,normally we lose,so on that basis Collingwood really is the favourite. I expect Hogan to play,I think it is a ploy to state otherwise,I also expect Collingwood to do the same. This match is a mini elimination final,loser tanks for rest of year and pees off their supporters.

I would be tagging pendles, treloar gets a lot of it but tends to rush his disposal, I just hope we bring the same pressure we had against the crows

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
