I don't know why people get so freaking worked up over these things.

he offers up some info, whether it turns out true or not, he never states that this is 100%. 

If you don't believe him, fine, block him, you don't see his posts. But calling him a peanut is a bit petty, you are better than that Dazzle.

Agree. 

FFS we ain't in high school although sometimes I wonder!

    From what I can tell he's basing the article on Karl Langdon.  I wouldn't worry too much.

    Much as i love Vandenberg, with Oliver and Petracca, etc... maybe he'd be traded?!

    I'd actually prefer us to trade one of these two then Nibbler. Really think he's going to be something.

    What does it say? Herald Sun's paywell is very tight these days. 

    Jay Clark correctly predicted Oscar McDonald would be picked ahead of Lynden Dunn several days out from Round 1 so I'm prepared to believe he's well connected with the club.

    I remember a kid in primary school told me and the other kids his Dad had a Ferrari. He was always late to get picked up by his old man and one day my mum was late as well. He was picked up before me by his Dad who was driving a red Datsun. I questioned him and asked him why he made up the story about the Ferrari, he answered "So I was popular and made friends."

    I have no issue with GNF and never have, but it's hardly ground breaking news to suggest Hogan will sign this calendar year or that Prestia, whose family are coterie members and has been linked to Melbourne for years, will be at the Dees next year.  I'd say both are more than likely.

    For me it's not what he writes and for what it's worth I read his comments and hope like hell he is right but for other posters to take the pizz is not right. 

    Hes just sharing his info with us and that's all. Whether u believe it or not is up to u.

    For those that can't get past the paywall:

    The article just said that Hogan's decision will come down more to prospects than money.  Clark then mentioned Hogan is very happy in Melbourne, he gets along really well with Goodwin and we have plenty of top end talent coming through that suggests we will not only have some sustained success, but that Hogan won't feel as though it will all rest on him.

    It's nothing we haven't really heard before, but it had a more positive spin than other articles have had since he put off contract talks.

    Yep, and he was laughed at by most of us (Including me!), but he was right.

    Especially once we start getting exposure in FTA prime time games, this guy will drag in the supporters. 

    I think team success will. If you look at all the kids at schools, they are all running around with Hawthorn jumpers. When Buddy was still there they all had 23 on the back, but now they simply just wear Hawthorn jumpers.

    Ultimately though, I've never been more confident of winning a flag with a Melbourne team than I am with this list we're assembling and Hogan is a major player in that. Whilst I think we're still a shot at it without Hogan, I want to build a dynasty. I want to do what Hawthorn and Geelong have done. Sustained success. That's the key to a thriving membership base and becoming a powerhouse club again. We're far more likely to do that with Hogan, IMO.

    That said, the midfield we're building is seriously scary. It still lacks depth, but it's getting stronger and stronger every year and will continue to, as our younger generation gain further experience. We'll then have the ability to hopefully attract FAs and other trades. Get the midfield right, continue to bring in talent to compliment and reinforce the guys that are in there, and this team in 3 years time could be anything.

    The interesting thing being at Fremantle, it will all rest on him and Fyfe and Fyfe has a very serious injury that may not recover 100%

    Don't want to lose him, but 15 million over ten years for a forward that doesn't lead, sounds a bit much. Needs to lead more or we need to learn how to deliver it the way he wants it.

    JB stated that if he stays at Melbourne, we wouldn't have to pay close to that figure, but more like $10m over 10 years. The $15m is what it would take for Freo to lure Hogan. In 5 years time, $1m per year for an elite player will be an average salary.

    Hogan would be crazy to sign a 10 year deal, as others have said the salary caps are getting bigger, in 5 years time he might be worth 2 mil or more a year

    I've seen him lead.

    Actually, he works quite hard in the 50m arc....

    I actually like him when rotates between FF and CHF as he does work very hard at CHF and moves around well - he is currently 9th in the league for marks and i would suggest that many of those have been taken further up the field.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
