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

There was a little confusion earlier in the day in some places about whether Hogan was staying in WA next year, I heard SEN interview a Claremont club rep later in the day talking about Hogan, Martin and Lee, and the question was asked of him. This guy said that Martin and Hogan would be moving to GC and Melb, and would be part of their football systems in 2013. So I presume that means that Hogan will be playing for Casey next year. Dunno if he would play under18 footy given that he is playing colts which is under 19s... could be wrong maybe...

Everything I've seen of this kid he looks like a player who can play as a key position forward for a decade from 2014 onwards.

There's no doubt in my mind that the deal was done to allow Viney to slide to #26, GWS to get the first three picks in total, and gc and Melbourne to get the two best available 17 year old selections.

Wines will be selected #4 - in truth, we may have used the pick on him had we been forced to select Viney with the previous pick.

I see these deals as win - win - win for all three clubs involved.

The likelihood is we will be bottom 5 next year, giving another opportunity to add another quality player to our list - the equivalent of 2 top 5 picks ready for 2014.

We will likely not be a finals side until at least 2015 in my opinion - horrifying, I know - but by that stage the guy we are looking at as our prime key forward will have had three years in the system.

For everyone interested there's an article on the Dee's website about Hogan. Say's his family are Crows supporters, but he can't wait to come over to Melbourne.

Love to know what Neelds questions were... And the answers

Geez he's a big unit this lad (already !!) ...imagine after 2 preseasons :)

Nah, we just have to select him in the minidraft.

GC have pick 1, we have pick 2, those are the only 2 picks.. but gc have said they are taking martin, so we are left with the rest, and of which we have chosen hogan

My understanding is that GC have pick 1 in the MD and we pick 2 - these are picks, not specific players. While GC have said they will select Martin with this and we Hogan, I'm not sure there is a binding contract between these players and clubs.

Is there a chance GC could select Hogan before us this time next year? I'm not sure of the exact rules. Anyone know for sure, rather than speculation?

Why can't he play AFL next year? He turns 18 in February.

He'll be nearly 20 by the end of his first AFL season.

GWS and Gold Coast seem to play a lot of 18 year olds. I presume their birthdays must fall late in the year.

The qualifying ageswere changed (by four months) a couple of years ago to give GC a huge pool of kids to choose from.

Kids drafted are older and that is fine with me. I care more about what 17/18 year olds do when they are 22+ than their first year.

That's not how it works - the MD occurs during THIS trade period so we will officially select Hogan next week or the week after and GC Martin.

GC will take Martin and we will take Hogan. It's just a formality.

Saw his highlight reel on MFC website got chills looking at it. Will be a star for the MFC if Neeld and co get the development right and he wants "it" enough.

2014 is going to be a long wait but I think the Scorpions crowds might get a gentle boost next year.

Pretty excited about this pick. A tall, aggressive, contested marking forward who has the pace to separate and the running capacity to get to heaps of contests.

We are trying to play a game that involves a lot of repeat efforts and being able to outrun the opposition. Hogan gives us someone who can run hard enough to get one out with his man, but also the size and talent to be able to dominate that one on one.

Imagine him taking the 'running defender' while Clark takes the monster!

A day has passed and I feel disbelieved that we actually got him.

All along I lived in hope but rational thinking said it was a 33-1 shot and drifting.

[Nasher edit: Removed pic and reference to it. I'd hate to be accused of implementing nanny state policy or stuff like that, but it'd be nice if we could at least keep the posts clean enough that I don't violate my work's acceptable use policy and get the sack purely because I loaded a thread on Demonland - thanks]

[Deers edit: Fair enough. Get back to work, slacker.]

Watch the highlights, please. I thought it would be patently obvious to anyone who knows anything about him at all as to why most of us don't give a rats about having to wait a year.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
