Going by the photos on the mfc site hogan is lean and in fantastic shape. His body shape looks more like that of a mid than power forward, which fits with comments he might play more as a mud this year. Scary thought for opposition mids.

Man that video is just typical of what happens to oscar Mc in every one-on-one contest in the backline... zzz outbodied and outpositioned! All the talk about him getting bigger.. not sure how much that is helping at the moment

Just as concerned by Tom going one hand and getting under the ball as I am with Oscar still being a pushover.

Oh well, I did enjoy Nev's trip.

Like that time a player took a mark on him??? Yep, pretty damning stuff.

From burgos day 2 diary:

Simon Goodwin watches over training with eye-eagle intent, and gives strong reinforcement – positively and in an educational manner.

“Great power,” he says with genuine excitement of Oscar McDonald’s play.

It's like the Yeti monster though, difficult to capture on camera....

So, in spite of assorted harrumphs are any of our banana bending cousins heading to the Open Session today?...anyone???

After an off season spent mainly overseas, I’m finding it a bit hard to get back into the swing of things football-wise but I have a feeling that today marks the turning point with the club’s Queensland Open Training Session which starts at 9.00am (AEST) at the Maroochydore Multisports Complex in Fishermans Road, Maroochydore.

So far, I’ve been reading things about player bonding and cooking, basketball games at training, haircuts, how ripped the players are looking, who’s injured etc. but I’m hoping our Demonland correspondents up north step up to the plate today with some ripping reports about the actual footy.

Go to it folks!

You forgot the specifics from the MFC site like Harley and Oscar making a wonderful salad or Burgs' horrendous puns like: Bailey making a strong Fritsch of it, or Alex nibbles away at leadership!

Wet day in Brisvegas. Nit sure Maroochydore will be any better. It'll be beautiful tomorrow morning though. Maybe they could re-schedule. ?

Looking forward to reading reports from our Queensland supporters in relation to the much anticipated open day. Don’t act like you’re not going because you all of a sudden have jobs.

Solves that then. My assumption was based on an Instagram post that must have been of a photo from before leaving to the Sunny Coast.

I would rather Hogan be a scary thought for opposition defenders than midfielders.

Roaming CHF is his go and I think this year he'll prove why he's been so highly rated. Combine that with TMac leading out from the goalsquare and Garlett and Petracca and our forward line looks like a strength for the first time since Neitz retired.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. 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
