Can we now close this thread? Castigation and innuendo serve little purpose and Jesse, the FD/MFC and our success may still warrant our respect? 

Maybe we can all say our final goodbyes before the thread is closed for good?

    Bumped into the big fella today, still looked unhappy. Maybe it wasn’t us after all. 

    ET you must get that a lot. Good to see you haven't taken it too personally. :)

    I would like to suggest that those asking for a thread to be closed be banned for 1 month. If the thread is going after the month ban them for life. 

    There are too many killjoys in life, don't come here if you don't like it. It is not compulsory.

    They got rid of the high mark on that bag over Robbo - I think when one guy landed on his head.

    Now they have the "high ball" from the machine.  Could still be Haymes Harmes High-ball

    I was at that game and he was completely knocked out. Looked pretty serious actually. He and the club were lucky it was not more serious.

    File under 'what were they thinking'and/or 'what could go wrong???'

    I've long-wondered what the insurance policy is like for the game-break entertainment.

    When that guy fell on his head and not much was said, the following week it was called something else, it was conspicuous to say the least. 

    Even the hamstring puller (he has to be a Demonlander, right?), did he charge someone for his injury? Or did he sign a release prior to running?

    Maybe I'm too used to dealing with finances in my business. :P

    It was more of an inference based on my observations. 

    ET I used the same gag about bumming a dart off of him, so deleted it.

    For the next couple of years it is inevitable that here will be a Hogan thread either here or on the main board (which is where it will pop up as the season gets underway).    No point in closing this till then.

    Dare I say it will be similar to having a continuous WATTS thread!!!

    The Dockers released an ‘Jesse Hogan membership cards’ email to supporters today, perhaps time to close this thread.

    At the end of the day he was paid 900k this year and he stated that the fact that he had a Freo offer for next year was weighing on his mind. That's not cool whichever way you look at it. Our highest paid player did not have his sole focus on MFC. I know he is a gun, and he will be a superstar. 900K should be enough to buy loyalty and undivided focus. 

    And for anyone who shoots off the "go home factor". I am pretty sure Jesse said his Dad wanted him to stay at Melbourne. Well that's what he said before signing last time. All things considered I think he is a bit of a [censored] and a disloyal one at that.

    So while we trying our best to win our first flag in a generation with a realistic attempt Jesse has eyes elsewhere.

    On a selfish level, im curious to see how many pages we can get up to over the course of his career.

    Missing friends in Melbourne. Freo have said he is able to be in Melbourne midweek on compassionate grounds. Had a coffee & a dart with Goodwin, discussed coming home to Melbourne if a deal could be worked out

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
