I think you need to read what I replied to and then read what I typed, gone off a bit early there McQ, bit of premature discombobulation, I even asked Max's opinion of him

Never considered the media then B? Or politics. Or Union Official. Or Commercial Radio. Or Q&A panellist. Or ASADA. Or Real Estate Agent. Or Insurance Helpline Operator or........

I am just waiting for the reaction from the opposition when Hogan appears in the centre square for the first time at a game, expect it

He has been alongside Harmes and the rest of the engine room, learning how to block etc, so you may see him in the engine room, I spoke to him the other day, health issues are well under control and he is feeling fit and strong, like Stretch solid unit now

It all depends on what I have imbibed the evening before Vagg, hence why fartlek could be an appropriate term

What you also have to remember is that the forward he 'most admires' is Riewoldt, hence why he has turned himself into an aerobic monster who can run all day

You may need to get to training and have a word with Goody and Macca, during the drills he is hardly on the end of the chain, he is part of it, they are utilising his excellent field kicking skills on both sides

Did it in the military as well WJ, reason why I can still scoot with the best of them in my 'later years'

In all the midfield drills I have watched Lewis is always on the outside, could be something to do with his shoulder, although he has never worn the do not tackle vest Goody is a big fan of Harmes and Harmes has been in every stoppage drill, expect him to be in there somewhere alongside Salem

Sorry I knew it was on today coz a few of the players told me on Friday, but I had to work, think they just didn't bother advertising it

An All Australian Premiership player of 223 games, jeez what would he have been like if he was up to it Just unfortunate that his time, like Dawes, has not turned out the way he or the club would have wanted it to. I just want the club to sort it out so that it doesn't come back to haunt us in the future, do the best for both the club and H

No I don't think it was fine because it doesn't look like the 'classical' way of running up to kick a goal, I also don't think it is as bad as some make out, if Jesse is comfortable with it or smooths it out all well and good, he has kicked nearly the same amount of goals as Jack Riewoldt had at the same point in their careers, and Jack has supposedly got one of the best kicking actions, so Jesse must be doing something right As Peter Jackson said at the AGM, be patient with the young players

So when you type 'Hogan set shot' into the search bar on here and get 358 results they are all glowing praise?

And Binman answered my 'joke' Been discussing Hogan, hopefully he will be able to get one to sail through post height from 50 should the need arise, but then again I hope we have a few forwards capable of doing that, watched Watts launch one the other day from the centre square which did exactly that

Gee Goody and Macca will be disappointed, from what I see at training, they expect to finish a forward movement with a player taking a shot from well inside the 50

You're not derailing, I agree he has maybe struggled a couple of times with distance in games, especially when his confidence was down, but this was quickly turned into 'he has a major issue" as is the norm on here, I have watched him at training this year and he is definitely working on his goalkicking, including the run up, he has no issue with distance, hopefully this will translate into games.

None of the players know, assume with Goody and Macca it will be left field, considering Goodwin took the new guys into a shark cage for their induction!!

I mentioned it the other day, the stutter is not as pronounced, it's still there but runup is smoother, he is still kicking them from anywhere, contrary to the myth As for BenKen, another who is ticking all the boxes, training as a small fwd when they break up into groups, hasn't been near the midfield

He is a semi regular at training, gets down at least once every couple of weeks acknowledges everybody from Goody down to me

Agreed, in 2nd and 3rd years sat back more and observed, didn't stop him stopping the drills and delivering a bake now and again, Macca is doing this now, but he also supervises a couple of drills when Goody wants to observe

There are upto six fwds supposedly on the field at any one time, the forward pressure exerted by all of them was non existent in some games, If we hope that with better service Garlett can become our Eddie Betts, I certainly do, with Eddie being rated as the best small fwd he is not exactly renowned for his defensive pressure

Totally agree now I can get the blame for derailing the thread like I normally do, I will repeat what I have said 3 or 4 times, the best signing the club has made in last few years is Macca, if only he would stop sneaking up at training trying to knock my hat off

Gawn just oustanding Spencer looks a completely different player Vince still the same footy playing comedian, hasn't missed a beat or session Smith is developing at an amazing rate Maynard a B class rookie who participates in every drill

ANB until he got the bang on the knee this week was looking good Mitch King nearly ready to join main group as noted by others could be anything with size and athleticism Josh Wagner has had a grumbly quad that has taken time to settle Kent after slow first week was looking really good tweaked his calf Filipovic has been restricted to laps mainly post Xmas better idea Dion Johnstone will be keeping Jeff Garlett honest already, my smokey Mitch White another box ticker hasn't missed a session Tommy Mc still the running king will be early Feb before he is back doing contact work Pedo not the running king same shoulder issue as Tommy Mc
