It's fair enough too, really wish him the best. Anyone who's lived in Freo knows what a fishbowl it is. I hope they don't load all their expectations on him the way they did with Pav. When they inevitably do, I hope he can handle it as well as Pav did. At least nobody can smoke darts on the Cap' strip, so he won't be alone in that. Edit: forgot original reason for post. Dees are in business of winning finals, so good to have players who are happy at home AND on field.

Just loved Whitey. Hope May can bring similar qualities. God he was tough. RIP

No! It's about instant rage and CAPS LOCK!!

Oh nice, so 23 and 28. Cmon JT!

Defo wouldn't trust a toilet he's sat on

Hogan confirmed to be on Demonland.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

But how's the atmosphere at the ground!

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? ?

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

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?

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.

Not even Jack Viney could make Jack Viney cry

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.

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.

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.

This is a commendably lucid post
