He is not quick.

A bloke who has suffered from cancer and lost his old man within a short period of time is looking at his options to move home. i have good mail on this and can say for certain that Hogan loves the club and the boys. He might go but make no mistake there is no I’ll feeling towards Melbourne.

Melbourne want Hogan we have offered him a 5 year contract. The person who said Melbourne don’t want Hogan and Fremantle are cooling on him was Tom Brown on mmm and he said he formed that opinion through the language of both footy clubs. It is a load of [censored].

He has done some kind of medical with Fremantle. I know that for certain.

Take 5 years or leave now is what I have been told. Player manager telling him to do neither.

Melbourne have asked Hogan to either leave now or re-sign with us for a longer period. His manager is telling him to hold out for a better deal next year. Hogan is torn.

Yep we are doomed. The sky is falling, the coral that has survived 100’s of thousands of years to contribute to the Great Barrier Reef is cooked, Fairfax journalists are becoming extinct, climate change is causing droughts and floods simulataneously and Trump is about to create world war 3 siding with Russia against the rest.

We have no bad blood with Roos and vice versa. Pert left Collingwood because he was about to be removed. Coaches are generally better the second time let's hope Pert is as well. From what I understand he is excellent at his job but was previously not a great culture builder. I hope he has learnt.

Richmond got rid of the riff raff a year before they won the premiership. Collingwood are following the trajectory after Pert "fell on his sword".

I'm not a rumour type of person (unless there is a riddle) and I only met the person who told me this once but I spoke to the bloke for a couple of hours at a kids birthday party and he knew intimate details about the dees and certain players at the dees. He was just glad Pert was gone for the culture of Collingwood. And said they would reap the benefits of him leaving.

Just read that too. I'm normally glass half full on anything MFC but very concerned about this. I was told by a passionate Collingwood supporter who both he and wife had independent professional dealings with Pert that Pert was toxic at Collingwood. When I was told this Collingwood had just done it's review and Pert left. he even said to bet on Collingwood to make finals after he left because rifts would be healed.

Being a media darling is novel but I have seen it before under Northey and Daniher. I want to be hated!

I'm pretty sure this is a joke. He can't kick like harmes gives it away.

I doubt he will get the same free kicks as him. i went to Collingwood V Richmond today and Oscar could only dream of umpiring so favourable.

Wasn't banging the door down for selection at Casey last week. A lot to like about the kid but sometimes selection can be confusing.

First world problems. My 3 year old only knows 1 players name and it is he that shan’t be spoken of at Port Adelaide.

I'm guilty of not recognising Oliver's speed. So basically he has elite speed, elite ball winning ability, elite hands, elite kick and elite competitiveness.

BBO - a stemless wine glass seems right up your alley. Frees up a hand for you.

The AFL Unscrupulous Unit seems more appropriate.

Good idea.

Is it too early to put him on the demonland banner?

Spot on Jaded. Lots of posters are disappointed we didn't bend Adelaide over after Lever nominated us. That is short sited. Whilst we trade fairly it encourages clubs to deal with us and players to nominate us. Our competitive edge needs to come from culture, drafting, fitness and coaching.

I suspect that is why we got next years 3rd round to start accumulating points to trade with one of the clubs who have academies.

2 x A grade midfielders. Hope everybody else plays a role on the day.

Lever wants to come and Watts won't leave. Everyone wants to be at Melbourne.
