Kelly is fit but skinny....cale Morton anyone. Hogan is a beast with endurance. Hogan please

Or Andrew Gaff, Dale Thomas, Stephen Hill, Sean Atley? Outside leg speed with hurt factor that are vital in teams ability to run and carry. But yeah you can ignorantly put him in the skinny fit bust category.

Obviously you don't watch a heap of junior football

According to The AGE

11.08am GWS has played a role in the complex deal which has sent Jack Viney to Melbourne for only a second round draft pick. Gold Coast traded its pick two to GWS for pre-listed 16-year-old Jack Martin, meaning they did not bid for Viney. Michael Gleeson reports that Melbourne has traded its pick three to GWS for WA pre-listed key position star Jesse Hogan. Neither Martin or Hogan will be able to play in 2013, as they are too young, but both are extremely highly-rated. This morning's dealings leave GWS with picks 1,2 and 3 in November's national draft.

Love it for what it is and what it represents.

IF, and it is a bif IF, this Jesse Hogan is as good as people say and as AFL-ready as people say, then it is worth it. I am unsure about giving away a pick three in a draft that could be one of the best ever but at the very least the Dees recruiters haven't fluffed around. They have examined, planned and goine BANG with thier choices. It all seems very deliberate and strong which I like. But this Hogan better be worth it or there will be blue murder among Dees fans.

Would Hogan really be the 3rd or 4th best player in this draft? I question whether these reports are correct. The club may be considering it bout doubt it will happen.

And reportedly pick 13 for Caddy..

I like the fact Neeld isn;t going to sit back and wait for development to come but aggressively use the trade period to change the make up the playing list.

COuld be a very interesting few weeks.

Clearly hearsay otherwise she would have just said it herself.

Although, listening to trade radio just now, hutchy and plow discussed that IF this was talked about by GWS, GC and MELB, it could have been done as follows:

GC pass on Viney @ 2 leaving him for us

GC give pick 2 to GWS for Martin

Melb give GWS pick 3 for Hogan

The big question is that "is Hogan worth pick 3 in THIS draft" ? "Is he better than what pick 3 would get us this year"? Trade week radio were saying is possibly not BUT if it was done in the deal to get us Viney at 26, we're essentially paying 3 and 26 for Hogan and Viney which sounds a lot better.

Posted

This would explain the compo pick GWS gave to GC

GWS: If you give us pick 3 instead of 4, we will give GC a compo pick to pass on Viney

MFC: sold

Posted

WHy would we give up pick 3 when we could give pick 4, which nobody could outbid us on anyway?

Baffling if true.

But really hope we get Hogan, he will be to impact games from round 1, 2014. Talk about a ready made AFL body and talent.

If its true he grew up a Demon supporter, that just seals the deal.

Absolutely love this all we need to do now is draft Wines with pick 4 and I can spend the rest of the year in peace.

I've had an absolutely [censored] year and this is the first bit of good news in it.

So who's likely to be available at Pick 4 then? Hope we don't trade it...

If we have traded pick 3 to GWS then i think the chances of us trading pick 4 are next to none! We need a high pick in this draft and i'd say O'rourke/wines would still be available to us at pick 4 :)

Neeld is obviously backing himself to be there in 2014. Which means he must be expecting improvement in 2013.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
