This time last year we could have throttled them for stealing Tom Whatsisname but look at this!

Melbourne and GWS cosying up together to do a deal for pick 3/Jesse Hogan:-

Dees circle Hogan

Giants list manager Stephen Silvagni predicted a resolution within the next two days, and Harrington agreed.

I think it's called love.

i feel GWS did us a huge favour by taking Mr $cully from our grasp, and to allow us to posssibly grab Hogan with this compensation, BUT.....

get stuffed GWS, there is still no love towards you from me

I think we should play hardball and talk them down to pick 4.

Honestly, I'm a little alarmed at the idea of us giving 3 AND 13 in exchange for a minidraft and pick 20. Do we seriously think there aren't three players in this draft who could even get close to Hogan? Because that is what that trade is saying. Unless we think there's no difference between 13 and 20 in this draft?

Sigh, I just want the anxiety over, collect the solid midfielders available (or the opportunistic slider) and roll on.

I'm not that impressed by Wellingham - he's a good midfielder, not a potential gun.

I don't want to pay too much for Dawes - I'm simply not convinced he's that great.

I don't want to get speculative about 17 year old players.

Basically, I don't see much out there worth messing with our first round picks for.

Maybe I'm just fatigued when it comes to anything that sounds like trying to outsmart ourselves.

I have a good source, Hogan will be a Demon by tomorrow.

We are working on Caddy at 13, if it does not come off then the whole Dawes/Wellingham scenario might gather some momentum.

Trying to off-load Martin and picks for Dawes and picks also.

There are more sources on here than in your average supermarket shelf... careful with that axe Eugene!

Name the source Eugene.

Otherwise it is just another unfounded rumour.

Happy with this - wouldn't even mind Dawes/Wellingham if it came down to it but not for pick 4.

I'm all for getting Hogan - a gun CHF would be superb, and I know it's that word "potential" but he sounds like a gem to me. As long as we keep pick 4 for another midfield gun like Toumpas or Wines. I hope we're not silly enough to use pick 4 for a Dawes/Wellingham trade. As for Caddy, the guy seems totally overrated to me, and if he doesn't want to come, then let him go to the Cats and see if he can get a game there for the next two years.

It has been fairly widely reported that we want at least one "live" trade in the top 10, i.e., pick 4 (or 3 or whatever is left).

only reservation I have about Hogan is how long it will take for him to do any real damage - 17 year old KPP, gotta be about 5 years off one would think. An 18 year old top draft pick midfielder is generally pretty much ready to go straight away as the last few drafts have shown

Hogan turns 18 in Dec so would be 19 when he hits the ground in 2014, and by all accounts should be cherry ripe by then, after 2 pre-seasons and a year at Casey...

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
