The freehold land on which the Daily Planet is located was sold last year. I have a feeling that the award winning brothel is soon going to go the way of the Gatwick.

Don't tell me Scott Cam and the Block are going to be doing a "reality" show there.

Happy with Hogan for May + Kolo trade

Agree. Two for one normally wins out particularly of the class of May and KK. Let's forget about Hogan and look forward to our team performing each week with all giving 110%

GOT Pick 6 and Pick 23 — GAVE AWAY Jesse Hogan and Pick 65

GOT Steven May and Kade Kolodjashnij — GAVE AWAY Pick 6

27. Melbourne - Thomas Sparrow, midfielder (South Adelaide) which was pick 23 before a downgrade.

Therefore May, KK and Sparrow for Jesse and 65.  All 3 could be in our best 22 some time this year.

Remember this guy?

 

“The 2015 NAB AFL Rising Star has impressed during recent match simulation, particularly when working his opponent up the ground and doubling back to find space”

If he relies on this method to kick goals at Freo he is in for a tough year.

Used to be a contested marking beast in his first year or so. Remember the day he towelled up Rance? What happened to that aspect of his game? Was he found out or did he lose his mojo?

For some reason I haven't understood, he lost his timing, seemed to go to early, confused the hell out of me watching. He certainly did the work leading.

He stopped leading to the ball carrier and always wanted the ball sat on his head.

I recon it also had a fair bit to do with this crap game style that so many teams have adopted of putting every player into the 50m arc, choking up the ground to the max and double/tripple teaming key forwards.  Not enough clean one on one footy these days to allow many contested marks. 

Hopefully 6-6-6 (the Demonic rule) provides a bit more space and opportunity for Tommy, Joel Smith, Weid, Trac, Hannan and Max/Preuss (the Greuss) to dominate our forward 50 this year, whilst Maysy, Frosty, Hibbo, Jetta, Freitch and Oscar can limit our oppositions opertunities and totally control our back 50 this year.

Simply roll someone across into this space.  If they bring their opponent, you make an overcrowded choke point.  Or you play someone who can run with him and give him no time when he gets it.  He struggles from 45+ (with a couple of exceptions), so push him right out and give him no space in 0-35m.

He has turned into a small forward crumber.

Hogan will kick 60 goals if hes switched on and injury free.

Absolute gun.

Career tally at Freo... yeah 60 sounds spot on.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    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
