Ziplock

Gender and sexual orientation are two separate things grazz.

Got to remember it's about size and development as well for a key forward- Franklin only weighed 84kg when he was drafted, and made his debut that year... he didn't have the year in the gym + the mini draft pick development behind him. Hogan doesn't have the issue that a lot of key forwards do at their early careers in being still physically immature.

Not really sure what you're trying to say, but it's clear Hogan is an exciting talent and he can only get better from here

Going into that match, I felt like it was a turning point this year. Having played terribly for the majority of the match... I say we haven't improved this year.

Sure, on the day, we might look a little better than last year.

But in the end, we're 3-8, and looking at another bottom 4 finish.

That is not improvement, or rather that's not good enough.

I can't stress how important this match was to me in terms of my general view of Melbourne. I won't go on coz we've all heard it repeatedly in the past 8 years, but please know that my respect, pride, expectations and outlook on Melbourne has DRASTICALLY changed.
...  :P

I think Port Adelaide and Essendon supporters (myself including) should be the ones who are disappointed haha

Fantastic wins by the Demons, Vince was fantastic and Gawn definitely solves the long-term ruck problems for the club - I think he will be the next Sandilands (Witts is uncoordinated negating his 1cm advantage over Gawn)

Today was unprecedented. Totally against the odds in EVERY facet you can think of. And was arguably our best win in 9 years.

So of course, the best win in 9 years is gonna make up for last week, and regain the things I lost in that game  :P
