I look at it this way.... in any normal draft we would have had pick 3 and 26, one of which to be used on Viney. We now have pick 4 and 20 + Viney + Hogan + Barry. I'm happy.

Possibly. But if that was the case why wouldn't we just trade them pick 4 instead of 3 - would give more legitimacy to the argument that we had to package it with 13 as well.

I don't think we are allowed to trade pick 4 as the scully consolation pick...may be wrong

Rapt to get hogan. Some aggressive moves this off season already. Hopefully wines at 4. Dawes will prob cost 20 which I think is about right. He's a guaranteed starter. Look at our history of picks around the 20 mark and you will see why it's not paying overs.

Just so bloody rapt! Go MFC,..

I'm going to walk around with an Eddie McGuire Sh$% eating grin for the rest of the day.

Just one note: On the MFC website they have a clip of him and his vision and kicking was great in the field of play. Only the goal-kicking looked a bit clunky.

Pick 13 was also a Scully "consolation" pick as well and we traded that.

You never know, now that we have Hogan and a couple of possible other players, some players that have said they wouldn't consider melbourne as a club to go to may change their minds as they can see what we're heading towards! i'm not saying that this will happen or that it is likely but i'd say it would probably increase the chances

We traded compo pick 13.

Pick 4 = Wines

Pick 20 = Dawes

Pick 26 = Viney

Pick 46?= Pederson

+ Barry

You are looking at one very happy DEMONS man !!!! I think its time for a beer !!!!

"At 195 cm and 97.4 kg, Hogan ran a 20 metre sprint at the recent NAB AFL Draft Combine in 3.02 seconds - regarded as midfield standard. He also ran the three km time trial in 10 minutes 20 seconds.

Hogan also has great acceleration on the lead, and is a strong contested mark."

Weighs more than Cook and Watts put together.

Thanks. I was wondering what height he'd got to. 195cm/97kg, fast, agile, beast, who's a good field kick and strong contested mark. It's as good as it gets for a CHF. His 3.02 for his size is excellent. Wines best was 3.07 and Whitfield ran 3.15 (with a head cold). In his last game for Claremont he had 21 disposals, 10 marks and kicked 4 goals to be best on ground in the prelim. final.

He makes Hurley, who is 193cm/92kg, look like his slow little kid Brother.

This draft/trade period may well be talked about in 10 years from now for the Dees.

New World Order indeed.

10 years ago I would say that it would be worth it when FFs like Dunstall, Locket, Carey ect could kick bags of 10 but these days its more of an open game where teams need a range of players to be able to kick goals to mix it up more.

10 years ago 1 power forward > 2 goalkicking mids

now its the other way around.

I was waiting and wondering in which way you would find unhappiness in the Hogan deal - now I know.

Have they done anything right yet? Viney for second round OK for you?

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..

He plays as a CHF and is often up in the middle of the ground. 2.2 goals per game is fantastic for a young CHF.

Give it rest mate.

Happy to have Hogan, but why did we give up pick 13, and get back 20 and a guy who's worth a 4th round pick? Surely pick 3 would have been enough. This is madness.

think Matthew Pavlich as a comparison

Would have been part of what was agreed to for Viney @ 26

Give my opinion a rest?

Mate if everyone took your advice you would have nobody to discuss things with on this forum.

Sorry, just picturing a Jarryd Roughead type player

Dont believe he played league in the WAFL though, Colts only right?

Great to see he's put on 2 cm and 6 kgs since we saw his stats last described too!

I wonder if we will have a group of Hulkamaniacs in the fever grip of HULK-A-MANIA! in the crowd

Effectively we got Jesse Hogan and GWS got the two picks we got for stitching them up (with a bit of improvement) when they took $cully; we get a future star they get a $6m noose round their necks, sounds good to me.

You've got to have a bit of sympathy for them.

Been reading Demonland for a few years now, but this is my first post (because I have never been so hopefull that we are heading in the right direction), and it amazes me the people who post on here - are they Demon supporters or just plain stupid.

Getting Viney, Hogan and Barry, still having pick 4 + 20 - (to maybe use on Dawes) and people think somehow thats not good enough and we have been dudded! Do these people know anything about football!

From some of the posts I think some supporters want us to be at the bottom every year to get draft picks, well here's hoping next year we don't have a pick in the top ten!!
