That would be the 'output' HB. Another poster has made a recent contribution on this thread that's not too far off the mark . . . as I understand it.

Better not EO . . . but there's a recent enough post in this thread made by another poster that's not far off the view held by key people in the FD.

Actually . . . what was passed onto me contained a brutal assessment beyond what I've shared here.

Take what you like and leave the rest DD.

From a reliable source . . . Direct confirmation from an assistant coach about Hogan: “we’re glad he's gone - very hard to deal with”.

Cancel this years five Nobles prizes. For the first time in history, all five are awarded to one individual.

absolutely priceless.

Would be surprised to see him in the red and the blue in 2019.

I would be extremely surprised (and disappointed) if Jesse wanted to go and play for Ross Lyon . . .

'green snot blokes' . . . PML But get this . . . on first reading i thought you said "green snot blowers" . . . I've been looking for an appropriate collective noun for them for 20 years (post 'white maggots') . . . 'Green snot blowers' it is! QD

Just wanna check . . . is that the same Hogan that: has the ball constantly kicked on top of his head has the ball kicked to his defensive side regularly competes against two or three opponents because we move the ball slowly or in unpredictable patterns has the ball dropped in front of him was a lock for AA in the middle of the season was rated top 15 players in the comp by The Roar a month ago flies against (take your pick) Pedo/Max/Harmes/Trac/Hotdog stand vendor runs his guts out to make position at half forward for a clear receive only to see the ball fumbled or turned over by (take you pick) ANB/Spargo/Jones/Tyson/Frost is so bugged by the time he does get the ball that he can't kick straight? Yeah . . . trade him I recon.

Faaaaarrrrrrrrrrrk! Bernie & Jordon are not the problem. sheeez. can't believe the lack of supporter smarts sometimes.

From an impeccable source . . . Gaff has been offered six million over seven years by a Victorian club (not us) with lots of cash. Contract would be substantially front loaded. A number of Victorian clubs are right into Jeremy McGovern as well. Don't know if we are one of them.

what a truly bizzare contribution.

What??? Really???

So many opinions . . . so little knowledge.

Harry's calls of the 1977 finals series when Snake Baker and Tiger Crosswell tore it up were absolutely brilliant. He was a big influence on many that came after him including Hunt, Newman, Sheedy and Lane. A naive entrepreneur - led him to innovate brilliantly but get mixed up with some total tools as well. And yes, his son Brad (who also umpired at VFL level), is a mad Dee. I'm led to believe he might even frequent 'land every now and then. The Big H also had a soft spot for the Deez and certainly loved the idea of "Brasso" coming 'home' in 1981. Harry had a brilliant footy brain and was respected by many of the game's greatest players and coaches. That's a great legacy and compliment.

At a footy clinic during 2016, kids asks "how are you?". Max, "pretty good for a legend".
