Do we know yet whether the club will seek the same clearance for Hogan as it did Viney to come under our stewardship and join in the training/program and possibly play with Casey

Pretty sure Dangerfield stayed home to study. He won't sit on his ass and eat burgers for a year if he stays home.

Apparently in WA they start and finish school a year earlier than the rest of the country, meaning Hogan is in year 12 this year. He'll be in Melbourne, as a full time footballer next year just like everyone else on the list. The only thing out of the ordinary is that he'll be ineligible to be picked in the senior side. I stand to be corrected...?

Things have chnaged in WA now you start Year 1 if you are 6 before July 1st, previously it was The year you turned 6 and I am pretty sure Hogan falls under this category.

So he should be free to move I'm guessing the family discussed all the possibilities before he nominated for the mini draft

Hogan only averages 2.2 goals per game this year.

I just worry that we are over rating him a tad...

Especially since we have the worst mid-field in the comp...just saying....this being a mid field super draft and all..

Hogan played a lot of football in the ruck, midfield and down back for Claremont Colts, and by all accounts played those positions well. Given the amount of time he actually played in the forward line 2.2 probably not a bad result. Neither is the 19.9 touches per game.

Hogan is only a good deal at pick 3 if you think we wouldn't have been in a position to get him anyway in 2013.

I would suggest there is every chance that we will have another pick in the top 3 next year, which means that we would be right in the mix to have taken him at the proper time.

History will show that most, if not all, of the mini draft trades have been massive overspends. GWS must be laughing themselves sick.

I would suggest that GWS, GC, PORT AND W.B may all finish below us and we would have been no chance in hell of landing Hogan. Other thing is people are saying what if this kid slides like Darling and we have paid overs.. What if he grows another 6 cm and is 200cm and 110kg at 18 years old? Good luck trying to get him even with pick 3 next year. Well played Dees!

Do you think we have almost certainly missed out on Toumpas now? Silky smooth speedy Barry on one wing and Silky smooth speedt Toumpas on the other with Viney and Jones getting dirty sounds soooooo good? Probably a different thread and feel free to move it but who do you think GWS will take with 123? My guess is Whitfield, Toumpas, Grundy.

Think you are overrating Barry a bit. Right now believe it or not I would much rather have Morton on a wing then Barry.

He is a project player who will be lucky to get a game in his first year I think. Has the potential to be a star but we need to see how he develops.

But yes I think Toumpas will be gone, regardless we should be happy with Wines or O Rourke.

Anyone heard from this bloke? I haven't seen him in a MFC polo saying how happy he is to be playing for the oldest club in the AFL...

He was at school and Western Australia....... Ease up!

Barry could be Jamie Bennel or the GC Bennel very much a project player

We also have to officially select him before all of that.

Is it not locked in kind of like father/son? If this kid grows to 200cm and 110kg and averages 5 goals a game can GC change their mind?

Not only that but we believed that our pick would be pushed back another spot to 14 and we were eyeing off Dom Barry as he is touted to be very special. Didn't get a lot of exposure leading into the championships and the inside word is he is going to be special, very special. While we are all caught up on "the hulk" Dom is the hidden gem, not saying he is going to be better but he will surprise everyone. That comes directly from within our recruiting ranks. Also 20 gave us the ability to strategically get ourselves ready for Dawes. Will happen in the next day or so.

Heard very similar. Also have heard that he would have been picked up late 2nd round. Source - employee of another club.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
