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.

Please remember you said this Olisik. This ones going to bite.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
