dazzle - just saw this now 2 year old post.  We have all had a lot more time to assess Josh both as an opponent in the 21 GF, throughout 22 at the Dogs and now a bit closer in 23.  Have you anything to add or change about your views on his approach to the game and the contest?  Can he really make the next step?  
Thanks in anticipation. 
PS I do realise that this is a Mitch Hannan thread. 

He may be needed!

Poor fella. Did you know that in some ACL surgeries, they use a dead persons achilles tendon to replace the ACL. Once healed it’s reported to be 150% stronger than it was pre-injury. 

Difficult to know if this a serious post because of the, ahem, reputation of the poster. However, if it is true, I'm interested in the administrative mechanisms. Put simply, does the achilles tendon come from a registered organ donor? If so, imagine the marketing campaign..."Sign up for organ donation and one day a part of you may be playing on the MCG".

I am a registered organ donor and if my achilles tendon gets used that way, I'd be most pleased. Even if it's a Collingwood player.

The Ox had that in one of his ACL surgeries - probably the last. I remember him being interviewed sometime after and saying he had something from a cadaver in his knee and how he found it unnerving.

I thought it through. I was initially going to say "Except if it's a Collingwood player". But my ego is too great. I'd rather be playing on the MCG than not.

Maybe he's got dodgy achilles tendons OD, in which case transplanting them into a Collingwood player makes perfect sense.

Doggies have just delisted Hannan.

Grass wasn’t greener out west.

I hope he is able to get back on the field, but even if retirement becomes the only option, he will still be a very good looking friendly young man with a habit of self-development, a pile of money and at least one magic moment.

How spine-tingling is that roar when he nails it? So good. ❤️😍

It's certainly not at the moment Gorgoroth. No grass at all in fact. Probably why the Casey game will be at Box Hill.

Also, you never had the same sorts of roars in the 2021 finals because most of the real fans weren't there.

This week's medical learnings on Demonland:

A) The Lisfranc injury was named after some French general whose solution was to amputate half the foot. 

B) The Persian army invented high heels to save their cavalrymen from gruesome stirrup injuries. 

C) Future MFC F/S captain George Gawn may one day take the field with a portion of my ankle. 

What a website. I will endeavor to stop wearing high heels to give George the most robust tendon possible. 

 

Over on Carringbush Central

Edit/ those jokes were too easy a crack. I should be better.

He played 9 games for us in his final year. He was out of contract and knew he was surplus. He got 3 years, 26 games and played in a grand final with the Doggies.

Not everyone is a superstar. Considering he was a mature aged recruit I would say he has had a good career.

Cheers for the goal Hannan. I will never forget it.

Yep. Was in that crowd behind the goals that night. Never forget it. Had great pleasure pointing the Geelong fans to the exit, payback for the smug aholes in round 1 that same year. Good luck Mitch, you have a moment in Demon history.

Gotta be one of my all time favourite goals and Melksham kicked it to him

I was behind him, so we knew as soon as it left his boot. Amazing.

Should never have left the Dees.

It was the right move from both parties.

Loved his first year with us, kicking freak one touch snaps in the goal square. Farewell Mitch.

Agree, surplus to requirements.

Always loved Mitch. A proper footballer. Had an ability to just throw the ball onto the boot and find the goal. Forever a Dees legend IMO for THAT goal. 

He had too many limitation and was never going to be anything other than depth in our premiership year, he was taking up Fritsch's position on the forward line without the return.
