We should draft Evan Panozza. He seems like a handy footballer.

You been recruiting for Melbourne for the past decade by any chance?

    Yep. Your reading too much into it.

    Although I dont think its a great look for a player of a club to wear another clubs colours.

    Maybe at mad monday / wacky wednsday for a joke.

    Rightly or wrongly, my heart just went into my socks for a brief moment.

    Freo fans would be loving that.

    Adam Cooney was at the GF wearing a Hawthorn scarf.

    It's not really a big deal.

    Bit of a difference.

    Freo is where he is from, they are a big club over in Perth with a massive fan base, talenyed group of players on the up in the next few years, and in real need of a key forward. I expect Freo to put a massive lucrative offer to him in two years if he doesnt sign with us. It would be a massive pulling point for him.

    If they did, we'd still have to agree to a trade - and it'd have to be one hell of a trade for the MFC to let him go.

    It's gonna be a long long time until he qualifies even as a restricted free agent.

    Thats a silly post. You know that situation was different.

    Completely different. The rule that allowed him to leave for GWS was GWS specific and limited to that year.

    They (nor anyone else) can do it again.

  • Quote

    He will be at the MFC in 2016 if we lift our game substantially between now and then.

    If we don't IMO he will be gone.

    For that matter if we don't lift our game between now and then there may not be much of the MFC left.

    pretty dumb thing to do... but talk of Freo pinching him has no more legs than dozens of other young guns who are playing interstate.. it very rarely actually happens that someone 'goes home'

  • Quote

    Disappointing seeing that but he probably had to barrack for someone on GF day. Anyone know who he supported growing up?

    This is Hogan we are talking about though. He plays like a Jonathon Brown and with Freo in need of serious Key Forward they will be keeping close tabs on Jesse and if he makes an instant impact in the AFL expect Freo to throw a massive offer ala Buddy that will be too good to refuse. Though I hear he enjoys living in Melbourne money does talk..

    yes but as alluded to earlier, Freo is not in a GWS position to just make a mockery of the salary cap and give a huge offer

    They are gonna clear some salary cap space by the time Hogan's contract is up with us, With Pavlich, Sandilands, Mcpharlin and even Bradley all going next year they can defiantly afford Hogan.

    And yet again, I say - the MFC must agree to a trade.

    Hogan can't leave entirely of his own accord until he is a restricted free agent. Even then, we can match the offer.

    We're all paranoid because of what happened with Scully, but that was an exception given to GWS in their first year of existence to take one player from every club if they wanted to.

    Freo can throw whatever offer they want at Hogan, he can't move unless we agree to a trade or he becomes a free agent. I think restricted free agency comes in after 8 years at the club, so this won't happen until 2022. We have a lot of time to plan for that eventuality.

    how could they have more dispensible cap space than us though with our zero stars

    lol also this.

    Plus we're front loading all our big contracts right now - Dawes & Clark.

    We're in a good list management position, we can keep rotating the big earners on front loaded contracts because we started with such a small base.

    Can't be 100% certain but I actually recall hearing somewhere he was a Crows fan as a kid, I think one of his parents is from Adelaide!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
