And you just know if things go pear shaped, Rossco will stick fat.

This is the dumbest saying ever. What does it even mean?

Freo fans will be up and about,  getting Hogan in for his first game and coming off an 80 point win.

Seriously...I'm a fossil but understand it.

I'll translate for you.

Even if things go adversely, if they go counter to hopeful expectations then that good chap Mr Lyon will stand by his fine recruit...irregardless

Not quite true Wise. You've recently  hypothesized him coming back to us because 'he loves the club'. I'd wager that you would be in the top three count for posters in this thread. Sounds like a Hogan man-crush to me!

Jesse Croadgan!

Most sayings have some origin in a historical context. We'll "stick fat" with player X is out and out nonsence with no relevance to anything

Who is going to kick the 40+ goals he kicked for us  last year? It sure won't be the Weid or Tmac. 

Why OD Both are not in the groove but 5 goals from them at the Cattery might get us over the line !

Hsve Faith OD (not blind)

Dees on the improveand can't wait at the Cattery  for our improvement.

Or maybe not.

 

Hogan yet to score a goal. He is not the player we thought he was. Would he make a difference this season, i suggest not.He has also received a fine for a unprofessional bump against saints.

VICTORY!!!!

 

 

(or something???)

May: one quarter in 2019

Wouldn’t get too cocky - he’s been playing a midfield type role and  had 21 and 16 possessions- puts some of our players to shame.

You might be a little premature, what was that his first or second game. A talent that produces 50 goals in a season does not vanish. Right now I would swap him for May in a heart beat.

One thing about Hogan is that he has X factor and is hard to defend against. He would have made something (maybe not much, but better than nothing) out of our lousy forward entries. But that's not why he was let go.

Watched the Freo vs Saints last night. Still drops his head and doesnt chase looks to walk as soon as the ball hits the ground.

Freo did play their best game without him against North. Kicked their highest score in years. With him lost against GC and barely scraped in at fortress Optus against the Saints. Not convinced and still has a lot to prove.

I said right now! May is weeks off returning and then he has to develop. Best from him won't be till next year with a proper pre season behind him.

Not sure about that OD. This bloke can play and when he gets back in I'm confident you and the others will be very happy with his contribution. May 80% fit is a better option than what we have at moment and he will show us all why we got him and KK for Hogan.

KK was steak knives in the May deal.... third round pick if not fourth

80% will not get you on the field in 2019. Still think he will struggle this year like the team in general. No team has ever come back from bottom after three games to make a GF let alone win one. Think 2020.

Have said it elsewhere...but am concerned that soft tissues might be an ongoing problem with him now. Hope not.

Also even when May.  Or Lever get back on the paddock.   They'll not be cherry ripe or at 100% effectiveness.

We've got some distasteful pain ahead...again 

MFC....the Groundhog Club !!

One might say we have perfected that one BB, top of the ladder.

I still rate Jesse, and honestly believe we would have won the Port and Essendon games if we had him up forward. 

May and KK may end up being a better package, but as of the end of round 3 the fact is that the subtraction of Jesse and addition of May and KK has not improved our team.
