You know what's great?

We've got something everyone wants, it's very, very scarce - which means you're going to have to give up something equally remarkable to get it, and we are very, very happy to keep it. 

This is the 'downside' of great drafting.

Well played MFC. 

Unfortunately that's no longer the case. We can't just trade Hogan to the highest bidder. If he decides to leave, he'll nominate a club, and we'll have to get what we can.

    True, but at least we have some ability to negotiate (as opposed to walking out as a free agent).

    Based purely on my gut instinct I think he's gone, I don't think it will be money I just think he will want to be back in WA.

    If all of the pointless threads, from all of the football forums, formed their own forum - OF POINTLESS THREADS - In that forum, this would be the most pointless thread.

    this is the no.1 asset in the comp, could be the difference between winning a flag or not wining one.

    there are plenty of bits of worrying info.

    heaps of current elite players have already set the precedent that loyalty no longer exists

    how anyone can think that this is a 'pointless' discussion is beyond me. It is hard to imagine a more important one in fact.

    My gut instinct is that it probably says more about the person making the gut instinct prediction than it does about what Hogan is likely to do.  And yes, that applies to my gut too.

    Did Fremantle on trade first round pick for 2016 last year?

    Sorry to read a player goes home mid week for a surf with his brother, he is gone if Fremantle have pick 1 this year you trade him this year if he doesn't sign by trade week.  Rapt if he stays but if we think he is going we need to maximise our return, Pick 1 and 2017 first round pick sounds about right, maybe a swap of a couple of picks their second round for ours.

    I pity the fool that thinks in this manner.

    He's contracted until the end of 2017.

    It's a waste of time and energy.

    Stevet Hemanj or Dan, you are so right.

    If you have no control over a situation there is no benefit in wasting time on it.

    Worrying has no benefit whatsoever.

    It is fine to discuss contingencies and probabilities but spare me the Chicken Little's.

    Of course he didnt go to talk to Freo. thats people trying to connect dots that dont exist. im sure he went home to visit family and friends in this day and age you dont have to fly to freo to discuss ontracts. still think hes gone but his visit got whipped up by the media

    Good Post.  Its about club success over here as he has stated etc.

     

    I am more rapt now with jack's re-signing this week and the team the recruiters have built.  Give me a strong midfield any day. Hogan can be replaced and won't win us the flag. That's the mid fields job.

     

    This Sunday could be our watershed game!

    okay - I can't help myself.

    We can have varying opinions on him staying or going. - but to dismiss Hogan with he can just be "replaced and won't win us a flag"  - seriously.......

    I would love to think he will remain loyal to his club and mates but squillions in the bank with lifetime security , a penthouse overlooking a fabulous Perth beach versus the regular commute along Punt Rd to Gosch's seems a no-brainer .

    I know you jest but the commute and location of Fremantles new training location in Cockburn should be enough to put him off.

    Why it's just a hole in the ground.

    For all we know he could be home to discuss with his parents that he wants to stay with the Demons.

    Who knows, there could already be a substantial offer on the table to stay on for another four or five years,and he is ready to commit.

    They pronounce it Coburn. I keep trying to tell everyone you can't have a silent "ck", it's cockburn but they won't have a  burning bar of it.

    yeah that was a lot of talk about nothing in the end

    oh wait

    The 2 can't be compared ones a dog and the others a man who's word I believe he will sign to he's a FA .

    "No not a chance. No way," Hogan told Channel 10 on Wednesday.  (When asked if he had met with Freo while in Perth this week)

    Now by itself it doesnt mean much as his management would be doing the negotiating atm, so he would have no reason to meet them, but just the way he is quoted as saying it gives me hope...

     

    And if he does go, welcome Lachie Neal and a first round pick at least. I desperately want him to stay as i am certain he will become something very special, but if he goes we can still be confident that MFC are heading into the 8 regularly over the next several years, and we will still have our shot.

     

    Who's to say we wont snag a big name of our own anyway? Wins = more appeal, and we should win plenty.

    *shrug

     

    P.S. STAY JESSE WE LOVE YOU YA BIG LUNK. (And you will miss playing with Weideman)

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
