    What did I actually say.

    You are so judgemental it's funny.

    All I posted was what a difference it would be to have a Hogan like player than a Petty one.

    Geez. Get a grip on life mate.

    Ha. Maybe lie down and take a pill or something.

    Life is too short to deal with rubbish judgements and posts like yours.

    Seriously at first I was like WTH but now It's become amusing.

    How in the world could my post be ridiculous?

    Thanks for the laugh Uranus. I needed it. Dare I say pick up the funny papers yourself and get yourself one. I'd say you need to more than I.

    Cheers.

    I thought the call was spot on.

    Made no genuine attempt to keep the ball in play despite the pressure.

    I mean the free to Daniher

    it looked like he nudged the GWS and Daniher half hit the ball

    The Cats/Lions game is of significant interest in terms of how competitive the game could be.  Interesting that the bookies have the Lions at 2.10 (which seems too short)

    Port on the other hand are showing 3.45 which seems like unders to me.  They're not getting my money!

    I was going for Gws but yea it's lions now.

    Don't want the others for sure.

    Big win from the Lions last night might see them all the way.

    Daniel from GWS won’t be sleeping well for a while. Undisciplined and selfish.

    Yeah it was dumb of him to take the advantage when Hogan would have had a shot from the goal square. But I have seen umpires call it back if it doesn't turn into an advantage?

    It's a shame Hawks and dogs are out. Gws for me too.

    So used to seeing us play finals it's hard now.

    Bring on the cricket.

    We lost to Sydney by 22 didn’t we?

    We also beat one of the two SF losers and lost to the other by less than a goal. 

    Do we take solace? No. We finished 14th.

    More on Hogan ... 

    He works really hard in the forward line and is a commanding presence in the corridor/hot spot

    And it's no accident either, he's a proper forward and a natural

    Doesn't lead to the boundary line to get the easy mark but puts his body on the line in the crunch area.  But he is big and brave and it's hard to hurt him as a consequence 

    And as a general rule, he finds the front position without much fuss

    So the question is, how do you find these types of forwards as the draft more often than not doesn't deliver (for midfielders in the draft, the strike rate is a lot better)

    Does anyone actually know of a proper Giants supporter?  The psych wards might be full of Dons supporters muttering 7307 over and over again (whilst rocking back & forth)

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
