  1. A trade of Hogan ,though possibly unlikely , is however possible. The seeds have been around since he began his AFL career. There are many aspects to this. One I find bemusing is the dismissal , abjectly, of an offer that has yet to be tabled. Yes talks do go on out in the 'non-official' world. Often theyre to gauge the market. But like a real estate auction is often doesn't get real ( or even start ) til it's almost over . Of course no one is going to say anything other than a straight-bat reply. Nothing may eventuate but the merits and such are still valid questions. May the righteous bang their drums ( gives them something to play with )
  2. I am too....and practically her whole bloody family ( being a mic... it's big lol ) Even worse a b-i-l played for them. Jane....I feel your pain....and share your joy whenever we beat the bastards !!
  3. I fully understand the Vibe, but Mabo I see it all holistically. It's about a team , a club. 160 years young and 54 without a flag. Whatever's best to that end. In that light Jesse may or may not be part of it. In a fashion it's irrelevant. His life is his. I wish him well. Players, coaches , officials come and go. But speaking of pathos, it's us Demon tragics that go the distance irrespective. Should it actually transpire, a trade, I'm sure Hogan will have no compunction donning another jumper. Nor do I. Footy is footy. I still don't understand how discussion of a players merits and worth etc is disrespectful.l
  4. Yep agree.. He has a classically correct kicking action. That goal on a stiff angle was a pearler. The Weidemans have DNA as good kickers
  5. Please...such righteous indignation !! Actually players in the sense of being part of a list are exactly commodities. They are 'bought' "traded' " written down" . You don't like it...fair enough. Don't come the raw prawn though and have it only your way. If you take offence to the way some view the whole shebang you're likely to be offended again. Maybe find a 'nice' thread. I have no disrespect for any player as a person. Nor have I any real interest in them other than as a player. As a player they have their bit to do. They either do it or they don't. That's absolutely fair game for review as in my opinion their place on the list . You probably best steer well away from any List manager's office.
  6. I can recall myself thinking he was a real looker. Apparently not ??
  7. Is it just possible we move on ? Good luck to the lad . Not for us.
  8. Par for the course... unwarranted adjudication.. play through
  9. Please provide a pro forma Love to see it. It's called discussion.
  10. A lot of us... everywhere have wondered just what can he be. He's starting to crack the shell and get it together....but by the standards of what we perceive his abilities to be he's just on his way. Keep going lad... keep going
  11. Or counter: Not be truly fit...but come straight in ? Because that happens.
  12. But does he have to try and kick the skin off the footy !! ??
  13. Supposed to exude power...and psych out opposition. You could have Sooooo much fun I reckon
  14. You think Jones...Viney would get dropped ?
  15. Neck minnit ... Break out into Can't Stop The Music https://g.co/kgs/JPGcgk
  16. Dr I fear what you prescribe will not be palatable medicine for some ? Talking Heads had a album once , in much of this vein ??
  17. Back in the day ?? , playing forward mainly,I needed every inch to get the distance...lol. It would very much depend on the umpire ( yes...just the one lol ) If they were on the ball to the oppo cribbing the mark...all good. Back then we only got 15m if they over ran. Only in latter years did I enjoy 50 m;) Still if the field ump was a bit of a drongo we would always scrape the mark. More a case of letting everyone...esp the ump know where we could kick from...is no one running over the mark. Could be used to great advantage sometimes
  18. True ...hard....not impossible. Ah well....Wines are happy in cellars ?
  19. He needs to come home me thinks
  20. They're pretty handy at the rebound 50 thingy....we were pretty handy at initiating it for them by kicking it to them. This has to stop. I have noticed eyes lowering a bit in last two games ( hmmmm ) Keep this up and we deny them that 1st possession ...keeps OUR attack live. Amazing what can happen if we don't cough it up
  21. I enjoy good robust debate. You can identify that by either side proffering their view and furnishing it with something to hang a hat on or viewing what's on the discussion table. And then there's comedy... has its place until it declines into farce.
