Die Hard Demon

Understandably there will be some people rushing to Hogan's defense. However I tend to agree with Dr. D – Hogan has been very poor for at least a month now. (if he's carrying an injury then simply DO NOT play him) otherwise assuming he's at full fitness, his current form is simply not good enough to warrant a spot in our side. If we are to ever go deep in September, we need 22 players to be playing their role. No i'm not saying hogan needs to be kicking bags of goals every week. I'm saying similar to guys like Reiwoldt, if Hogan is not kicking goals we need him to be doing the things that go unnoticed. The 1 percenters. Tackling, running and putting the opposition under pressure. Bringing the ball to ground if he can't take a mark then going hard at the next contest, then the next and the next. I rarely if EVER see a second or god forbid a third effort from Hogan. And like I said, if he can't get to the contests through injury he simply shouldn't be playing, and like Dr. D says, play someone who will compete and that is Pederson.

This game has an uncanny resemblance to the last game against collingwood in 2017. Playing for our season & playing like a bunch of [censored]. Look like we’ve shat our pants... missed tackles, missed handballs, dropped marks, poor disposals.. The only reason we’re in this is cause adelaide are playing very poorly.

announced 14th June, but the club knew about it prior to the Collingwood game. I guess its just coincidence too that since Essendon sacked Mark Neeld their form has completely done a backflip ? .. Anyway.. like i said.. time will tell.

THIS .. We have lost all 3 games since he was made CEO. I have heard that internal people have serious issues with Gary Pert. Apparently Peter Jackson had no say in who was going to be our next CEO combined with Josh Mahoney being completely overlooked has seriously ruffled the feathers. I have a really uneasy feeling about how this might start to open up old wounds. I really hope I'm wrong and this isn't true – but time will tell.

Dom and our 2nd round pick (pick 36) for Carlton's early 2nd round pick (pick 19) ? Great way to free up some salary cap space, let Taylor work his magic on pick 19 and then get Gaff.

don’t swear

Rance is a pretender. As are the entire Richmond side bar Martin.

2 x first round draft picks for Lever.. Surely Adelaide are taking the pi55!!?

jack watts 2.0

Howe wouldn't want to be back at Melbourne now that Bucks has him playing as a forward.

Letting us take Lever is the least they can do for taking Scott Thompson off us all those years ago.

I didn't realise this was a thread about oscar

Watts for me as a tall forward just doesn't cut it .. He seems to have lost the ability to mark overhead and his second efforts don't show enough urgency. Goodwin wants us to be a tough team and Watts unfortunately is the complete opposite. However I do think GC's midfield stocks next year might be left a little bare.. obviously Prestia and O'Meara this year and I can't see Ablett there next year. Tyson fits that bill as he is more of an extractor, which we're in abundance of. IMO we don't REALLY need him. As Juzzk1d said above.. Out: Tyson, 2nd round In: May, 3rd. I'd do that in a heartbeat.

I agree with this.. Players that potentially have currency that I would consider trading.. Tyson, Watts and Kent.

Wagner can have a one on one with him .. Needs all the extra help he can get. That missed 2 meter handball backwards was inexcusable.

i liked the $51 odds i got on clarry just after the JLT series to be Melbourne's highest brownlow vote poller. Currently our favourite at $2.00

Google the article title & click the first link. Will bypass the paywall

Just give Oliver as much space as he needs to work his magic.

strange that only part of your bet went through.. well better than nothing ! how it comes into 15 from 51 is crazy.. unless it was a typo haha

WOW .. Your not joking ! What the actual f**k ... they must've taken a huge bet on him at $51.. i only outlaid $20

At $34 that is certainly worth a bet.. However on Crownbet his odds are $51 !! Couldn't resist

Please don't tell me he fractured it during that altercation with Ebert ... fmd

Just heard on SEN . Rumour NOT true. We can breathe a sigh of relief!

Despite the latest rumours about Saints opting for McCartin at Pick 1.. After watching this Petracca highlights package.. I can't fathom how the Saints could possibly overlook this future superstar. This kid will be a goal kicking midfield brute. I'm not buying into all this "late mail" until I hear the name called out tonight.
