Langdon's got good mail.

He was the one that dropped the Worsfold to Essendon bomb-shell before anyone else.

He also dropped 

During NAB score around the grounds this season on February 27th Port 20 odd points to Melbourne 1 point - LANGDON - well Melbourne doing their usual they are just no good Melbourne wont win 5 games this season 

Judd wont leave West Coast because they are one of the best at retaining players and don't lose ones they want to keep

I believe David Mundy has gone because every player who puts off contract talks has moved at the end of the season

Summing up my belief that if you thrown enough darts, you will hit the target at some stage.  And my mail on the contract situation from a decent source the waiting till the end of the season is absolutely honest, Jesse is backing himself in to increase his net value and nobody even close friends know what the outcome will be.

No one but Jesse, his Manager and maybe some of his family, would know what he intends to do, so for the rest of us, it is pure speculation.

I'm in hemingway's camp that Jesse himself probably doesn't know. It's still a long way out.

I agree though that anyone outside those you named who claims they do know, is completely full of it.

I thought Neale was from Adelaide and would want to return there if he left WA. Also I thought Gaff just signed a new contract.

With Neale it might be similar to the Aish situation in him wanting to play in a footy town with more than 2 teams.

Never said Neale's potential departure was a go home type situation.

I know, I said it.

Why would he sign now ? He's contracted for just under 2 years of footy... The players CBA is coming up, he might come out and kick 60 goals this year and 70 next year... His worth will go up, he'd be doing himself a disservice by signing now for less than what he could, especially if it's going to be a long term deal. He'd want to get it right

So spot on that it's bleeding obvious JV!.  I'll enjoy my red even more tonight now that I feel reassured.

Gaff, Shuey and Duggan all Vic boys and the present and future of the Eagles midfield. No go home factor for these boys. That old saying make a good environment where no players want to leave. Having the Ox a great of our club taking shots at Hogan on radio in my opinion would not help Jesse feeling a part of the club and would definetly sway his decision in some way.

 

 

Just the opposite, Ox created a situation where Jesse was under siege, and gave the club and teammates an opportunity to get around him, protect him and build some stronger relationships.

I've heard on radio (SEN) from a close source that he is super happy at melbourne?

So have I he's not going anywhere my mail is he's very keen to play with Petrecca .

It's more our eagerness to trade away that future first round pick that makes me wonder I guess.

I don't buy in to the rumours about Hogan, BUT if the worst case scenario did happen then that trading for Weed would point to us knowing about it as early as last year.

 

We traded for weed because that was Hogans demands to stay, he wants help up forward.

Second year forward making demands?

Good one.

Some of the stuff I've heard hints that, to use a dated euphemism, he is wearing the pants in this relationship. That said, I'm sure the FD knew they needed to draft another forward too.

I'm sure that the club does everything it can to keep all players happy, but to suggest we drafted Weideman because Hogan told the club to do it is ridiculous.

More likely we know we need more key forwards, whether Jesse stays or goes. Dawes appears just about done and Pedersen and Frost are not good enough. The two Kings are probably the next best after Jesse and Weed and they haven't played yet.

Today is ripe for him to turn it on. He had a stinker last year Queens bday when Frost towelled him up but redeemed it in the return game where he was one of our key players. If he can play like he did in the 2nd quarter last week for the whole game he'll be in for a big one.

Hogan will sign with Freo on a 6 year $7 million contract at the end of 2017

I assume you've made that up but it will probably be the outcome in the end.

As I've stated earlier, we must avoid drafting interstate players at all costs. Unless we're Hawthorn or North (who have an impeccable retention record) it's going to end in tears.

Yes I made it up but it's my feeling. I'm investing nothing in this guy to avoid disappointment

So he will sign on for less than he will get at the Dee's?

Over the years, Adelaide have lost more key players than any other club yet continue to draft interstaters, and have remained competitive. The highest profile player to leave our club in recent history was Scully, a Victorian.

Hogan winked at a team mate in the rooms at the end. 

HE IS STAYING  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With our new attacking gameplan its only a matter of weeks before he snags 7 or 8 goals in a  game

Very good today. Not bad at all for a decoy.

 

Forget about Hogan.

If Max goes down we are comprehensively and royally [censored].

Judging by the way he screamed in delight at the end of the team song, Id say he loves the club and his team-mates

This thread will look really really silly when he signs on with us at seasons end on a huge long term deal

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
