Farewell Jesse Hogan
I've found that staying reasonably bent throughout has kept it pretty level ?

Farewell Jesse Hogan
No, this can be forgotten.

I camembert the suspense much longer. Actually no it's fine. I'm fine If he stays, I hope he's emental-ly prepared and emotionally invested in the club. If he goes, then may it be for a feta trade price than Freo think is appropriate.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Not here. Morning in the Twerp, greatest city in Belgium and where Frenzal Rhomb played a bloody great little gig last night Edit: Jesse didn't sign last night here, either

Farewell Jesse Hogan
I know he's a local lad, but be interesting to see how he goes in the fishbowl of Freo, as their great white hope. Used to often run into Pav and others when I lived there (10 years ago now) but then they hadn't shifted to Cockburn. [censored], has Jesse realised he'd have to go to Cockburn every second day?

Farewell Jesse Hogan
He's staying. Considering about 20% of the online ads I'm now getting are for Hogan.com apparel, Jesse's career is obviously a giant marketing campaign for them. They're not gonna cut it short now by putting him in Perth.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
But how's the atmosphere at the ground!

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Me too. [censored] hate 186. Peter Siddle takes a wicket when few others look likely. On topic, really interesting phase of our development, that the FD can show a hardness in looking after club's long-term interests. I really like it. No one player makes a team, and I'd rather them be saying to Jesse, ok if you're not going to commit long-term, we're going to shop you. Old MFC would've been in the Freo, St Kilda, North realm of desperation, but we seem calm and cool.

Massive step of assimilation mate: the realisation that the best way to get in the good graces of a Dutchman is to give them as much [censored] as possible.

Are we there yet? ?

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Indeed, if we get massive overs. 2 first rounders + something for Josh and Todd to play with

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Unless it's for way, way overs, I would rather not trade Hogan this year, win a flag with him next year, and then who cares?

GAMEDAY - Preliminary Final vs Eagles
Reporting from Amsterdam, just bloody got home from work, 5 hours kip then went against the Coco's experience, and instead will head to a private viewing, mainly due to sheer brown pantsness about it all.

The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan
Yea we've got Ned the Flower-pot head, who has an amazing sense of balance, although last I saw him was a year or so ago when I walked out of a bar in the wee hours and almost trod on him doing push ups on the street out front. Massive game from Hoges again today. He is breaking this comp open. Could be better than Carey if he can start dobbing them from 50+ What an absolute gun.

Jeff 'Wiz' Farmer
This is the game I remember. Shocking first half and then just absolutely magical. The Wiz; he'd have to give it a shake for best small forward of all time.

Anyone for cricket?
Yep. Did not see that coming. Also, if you're looking for a new chance in life, go to India and become famous. It's easy. "Selfieselfie? Signature, sir?" Amazing place.

Anyone for cricket?
Just got back from the ground. Unbelievable stuff. O'keefe and Lyon unplayable; the ball to take Virat's off stump was a piece of low, straight magic following some absolute curlers. Let's see what happens for the remainder of the series but suffice to say, that was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Anyone for cricket?
I'm at the match. Best day of cricket I've ever been to. Such an intense experience in the crowd, cannot imagine what it would be like in the middle. The boys stood up, stoked and proud of what they achieved today.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CLAYTON OLIVER
True that re Trenners. I just don't mind that a degree of toughness is being shown again in a Dee's jumper. Then again, maybe it just shows we do things wrong every year!

I like that this is the second year a young Dees mid has been under scrutiny for being hard as regards new rules/interpretations. Viney bump Mark II
