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

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
