You just hope his career doesn't go down a Mitch Clark path.

    hope he gets betterer

    like others, i can't imagine playing on that rock hard oval every second week is doing his feet much good

    Perth rainfall June and July 2019 550mm,  Melbourne  78mm. 

    Those "hard" grounds in Perth haven't worried the Eagles this year or any previous years.

    That ground is notoriously hard George rainfall records be damned; both freo and meth coke players and footy dept have commented on it

    Neither club trains there now as a result

    Sadly I think there is more chance of that than a Mitch Clark path.

    My youngest played halftime little league for the Dees v Eagles game at Optus. It was my first time walking on the optus surface. Noticeably harder than Subiaco Oval. Perth Ovals are built on sand which compacts hard and drains well, which doesn't allow for water to settle in like it does with mud/muck making it softer underfoot

    I think it's always going to be an issue at Optus

    I don’t know where you source your rainfall from but that is just plain incorrect regards Perf.

    I know he doesn'tplay for us anymore, but just saw  that Hogan has been ruled out for the remainder of the year due to a recurring injury to his navicular.. 

    Clearly Dave Misson's fault. Got all the hallmarks:

    - a foot injury (players only get foot injuries at Melbourne/under Misson)

    - a repeat injury (and as we know, repeat injuries only occur through either bad management or players coming back 'too soon')

    - an injury that was misdiagnosed: "scans have confirmed that his right mid-foot sprain was unrelated to the navicular injury he suffered with Melbourne"

    - an injury where it takes over a month to get an exact diagnosis (see above)

    - an injury where a short period out: "The Dockers' confirmed that the 24-year-old would return to playing football in the coming weeks." turns into "Fremantle this afternoon confirmed that Hogan will require a 16-week rehabilitation"

    - an injury where it takes over a month to get an exact diagnosis (see above)

    etc. etc.

    Plays for Fremantle now so I don’t care all that much, injuries are a part of professional sport. At least he’s still getting paid (a lot). 

    There’s injuries and then there’s ‘injuries’. 

    A navicular isn’t great - particularly one that requires surgery. 

    I hope he recovers and plays good footy for Fremantle.

    We’ve had 360mm since the start of the year. 

    212mm in June and 72 for this month and counting. But yes, Melbourne has still had a hell of a lot less.

    The soil is a hell of a lot sandier here, perhaps the drainage is better making the surface harder? Or maybe not, I have no idea.

    Keeping with the weather detailing of this thread, of all the capital cities in Australia, Perth has the wettest winter. 

    Anyway.

    Sorry it should have been 284mm for June and July.  Still more than 3 times Melbourne

    I recall when Jesse limped off against us I posted that it was very possible a navicular reoccurrence and that the Dockers would hide it for a while so as not to upset their fans. Both happened.

    Jesse has certainly had more than his share of bad luck both on and off the field. 

    Hope he has a bit of luck next year, but poor games against us.

    Will remain an unfulfilled talent. 

    I think you're  right Moonie

    I said last year that i thought Hogan would  have his problems,  that he'd  never fulfill  his potential,  that he'd  never play a full season for us or anyone.  That's  not a slight as such upon the lad just an observation  based upon his fitness and disposition  towards the game. I sense he does enjoy being in Perth far more. Thats good for him. I was glad to see him leave us and i still think he has a potential  that will never be realised fully.

    Bring him back to his real home I reckon. ;) 

    It seems we have a respected medical team now that could woo perennially injured players. It'd be funny if we nicked him back from Freo in a year or two for a second rounder. :D

    Call it Karma But he’s re injured his foot when playing against us!

    Hope he’s luck changes as he’s suffered a fair bit with the loss of his father & then his own cancer scare!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
