The story of the season so far for us. 

I knew he was a good guy runner but like Dermie I was staggered on Sat. 

"Like Dermie"...yuk.

Whose our tall forward while he's playing midfield? Until Tmac comes back it's Trac. Not ideal. We can get away with it against lowly clubs, not against the better clubs.

Jesse's work rate was extraordinary on Saturday. There are times he needs to play from the goal square, and times he needs to play up the ground. We are very lucky that he is so capable at both, however we definitely need another big body up forward when Jesse is not there.

I don't sugarcoat things with demons. I'm harsh, much like a proud dad is harsh when he coaches his own kids... So I'll be harsh and glass-half-empty on Hogan.

He'll be better than Daniher.

As of last 3 rounds, sure. But in the wider football world Daniher has more runs on the board. I already had him as the better player, but I wouldn't argue the point with opposition supporters on who is better as of round 1 this season. Daniher was amazing last year. Hogan will be amazing this year. From 2019 onwards, it won't be just us on here saying Jesse's better.

Miss? Handball in the square? Smile when his team's getting pumped? I'm intrigued.

Top of the tall forward tree.

I reckon so. I'm not saying Hogan couldn't reel him in one day. But as of right now he's the most sought after KP forward going round not named Buddy.

From Saturday's game onward, Hogan has the unique ability to morph himself into one of Melbourne's most dynamic players of this modern era.

(God, i love that phrase when it pertains to our player).................but for Christ's sake don't tell him or the mediums.

It’s actually happening.

Our young super stars are actually living  up to their potential .

Hogan, Oliver and Petracca are becoming elite match winners for us.

Throw in the number one Ruck-man in the comp in Gawny and one of the very best small forwards in Jeffy, and it starts to come together.

Just need Hibberd , Lever and Hunt to get close their best and it’ll be strap yourselves in for the ride!

The perfect shape, skills and pace to be a damaging midfielder

Will tie with Clarrie for the Brownlow

He's a Bull, in a mid-sized china-shop.

Let him run rampant in that bull ring, and then he can rest up forward.

When the Bull rests, let the Tracta pull the load.

Add Clarrie ball magnet, & Viney the pig-dog, and we have a heap of grunt.

Send in some pace and the World just keeps a turning.

Do not forget Viney. He is a gun clearance player and runner!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
