Bulldogs willing to get their knees dirty diving in to get the ball. Amazing how tgey habmve beaten all-comers in this facet of the game.

Ok, go to 73.22

I remember good youtube footage but would have to chase up link.

Thanks for the correction dieter. I actually just read tassie off the age news article on friday or saturday. never actually knew who it hobbs took the speccy over.

Couldn't believe that Easton-Ellis mark, channeling Merv Hobbs 'mark of the century' in Footscray's last prelim - over our very own Tassie Johnson.

All the top-end or aspiring top-end players are soldiers of fortune. So was scully, so was Barassi. Like Cameron Bruce and Earl Spaulding, jessie Hogan never learnt to kick properly and Hogan is now like a stranded polar bear, stuck in the northern part of the ground waiting for choice morsels. I am hoping that he would stay but doubtful he would then commit the hours necessary to learn to split the sticks on a regular basis.

Love the way this story has been played out on the drip, as though it was ever conceivable that Jesse would remain in the red and the blue. Jesse will be a good player, but perhaps the once-in-a-generation stuff has been been overdone. His half-in half-out attitude probably was detrimental to our performances this year, no doubt it made our forward line one-dimensional.

The Age article smells like the typical berley that a player manager or club throws out to fingerlings like the Dees when everything is cut and dried behind the scenes. The Only good that has come out of this constant yearlong speculation is the revelation that Jess Hogan is an almost useless kick for goal. So i say, let it bleed.

Whilst 'worked to get it right' is a meaningless footy cliche i am rapt that rugby is taking a hit, and it is great to see mass crowds at ANZ stadium following the national game. Meanwhile Melbourne are in a dog fight with about six other vic. Clubs who are also working to get it right, unfortunately most of them won't.

What I mean by stuck in the goal square is that he plays full forward stuck in the goal square. to stop him freezing up he is moved around the ground where he can use his good one on one skills to set up plays. he needs to watch some Peter McKenna on youtube.

Don't actually think this is so. Hawthorn lost Franklin, Geelong, Ablett, Adelaide, Tippett and Dangerfield yet they are all in the top part of the table. Hogan's case isn't as desire as painted by Dee tragics. He seemed to glide around at Casey Scorpions level and had an ok kicking action, but now seems too big, stuck in the goal square, and plants his non-kicking foot deep into the soil every time he roosts it a la Earl of Spaulding.

He has illness issues and players shouldnt be discounted for injuries.could be the biggest bolter since Piping Lane and Michael Byrne.

Good on him. Big agile guy who can make correct decisions in traffic. Reminiscent of Big Bob Johnson in many ways.Quickly given the shove by Melbourne.

Barassi cribbing the mark. Fantastic.

You obviously didnt see leigh mathews take out steven smith and peter giles with extreme prejudice

Its cos he has a wobbly gait and i would doubt he could fix it by now. The other thing is that he is a gorilla forward and so - like Reiwoldt hawkins and cloke can be taken out of the equation by playing off him and double teaming . Melbourne very definitely shoyldnt be offering him once in a generation pay packet because we will need the coin to keep our many emerging stars .

his bumbling kicking action is deteriorating. needs summer to fix it up, as others have in the past. at the moment his game stinks.his last shot at goal was worse than anything greg parke or john clennet could have conjured up.

the ball player should always be rewarded, gutless sniping like this should not. it was only good fortune that Oliver's head was not impacted and even better fortune he didn't end up in a neck brace

don't forget being last round geelong may rest paddy.

best win since elimination final v carlton, 2000, imo.

how is cyril rioli's leg-tackle! talk about the-umpire's-friend!

Jessie Hogan causes logjams in our forward line. i don't think he is the merchandise he was hoped to be. he is an excellent bullocking player, maybe should play off the half-back line. No dammit, we need him.

i'm not against "Perth Football Club" for example, but not some mega-organisation/concept that sucks the life out of lower tiers of the W.A competition

i am a supporter of a national competition but not of gws, wce or gc suns.if it is a national competition, where is the tasmanian team, where is the act team? greater western sydney may well win the premiership this year or next, but they are likely to end up like brisbane bears with + 10 mill debt, because the rugby community just doesn't like aerial ping pong. the tv rights bonanza is like kuwaiti oil or naura bird dung, it will be gone tomorrow with 18 hungry clubs trying to sell their premiership plans to their three game membership members. wacko jacko - like his kicking - was accurate with his comments about the selling off of waverley - a travesty, and how our local competition has been undermined. ditto the domestic comps of s.a and w.a.
