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!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
