Back page of the Feral Hun today over here in the eastern states has wise old Slappo and the Fatman (Scotty Cummings) advising Hogan to stay at Melbourne so he doesn't have to fly every second week.
Both tools stated that the flying curtailed their careers. Most punters thought hamburgers curtailed Scott Cummings career while Slappo's was cut short by hand bag injuries.
Slappo claimed it was the flying that prevented him from playing 300 games (not the knee reconstruction) when he retired aged 31.
Needless to say the Hun briefly mentions Pav closing in on 350, doesn't mention Cox's 290 games, Sandi's 241 games plus, McPharlaps 256 games (244 with Freo) and Glass jaws 270 games (which puts 134th in the VFL/AFL all time list)
For KPPs these 4 guys have had incredible careers, nor does it mention Mundy on 237 and Johno on 209 .... or Kennedy on 174 and looking likely to be a 250 player if he plays another 3 seasons.
Overall Freo has 9 players in the top 500 of total games played.
The Feral Hun going hard to keep Hogan in Victoria
