Presumably from his RS interviews, the two are also very good mates.

OMG!!! He is going to sign for Carlton!!!

    we really need McCarthy to get to the Dockers on a big contract at the end of this year. 

    I back the club to successfully counter any other Vic clubs offer to Jesse. The WA factor is our achilles. If Dockers get McCarthy that threat reduces somewhat, although not entirely.

    Spot on. Would be a great day for us, as it is hard to see Freo being able to service two huge contracts like that, and to put too many eggs in the key forward basket.

    cripps news is important as he's another wa boy who is staying in victoria.

    Was Visy involved though? Perhaps Judd handed over his brown paper bag. We don't seem to have the 'advantages' of a lot of other clubs.

    I don't think McCarthy would get a huge contract, and has probably already been told he'll be second fiddle to Hogan, who they're undoubtedly desperate to sign. That would be enough to get McCarthy.

    FWIW I think Freo's about to slide. Weagles have gone past them and are recruiting better. Freo are not a destination club, despite their relative success. I think Hogan will stay and put MFC back firmly in the centre of the map.

    With Fyfe and Hogan in the same team, they wouldn't spend much time out of the finals.

    Don't expect Hogan to go though.

    I doubt they're telling McCarthy he'll be second fiddle to Hogan, a player who still has two seasons to run on his contract. If he wanted to play second fiddle to Hogan that badly, he'd come to the Dees. The reason he wants to go to Fremantle it to go home and to play at the club he grew up supporting. I don't think Hogan has or will have anything to do with his decision.

    That would be like us finding out that we'd recruited Jeff Garlett with the promise that he'd be playing alongside Dion Prestia in 2017.

    He kicked 40 goals in his second season he can write he's own cheque, personally I think the AFL should look into some of Fremantles dealings there morals are extremely low.

    I think your referring to the talk of $cully not smiling in his initial club photo at the draft,  & after jumper presentation...  $cully didn't smile,,,,,,  & as it happens $cully indeed did leave for Foreign X-change pastures...

     

    .... so yes,  the irony of him not smiling immediately after getting drafted & presented with the Dees jumper was an indication of his mood,  & future thoughts.

    Please.

    What have i ever done to you to warrant such a comment, or did you think you were being funny?

    The reason i would abandon the team i love and the only game i watch is because there is no point in devoting time and money on something that will never improve because it is programmed to fail.

    I will stay on this forum tho, just to [censored] you.

    I feel the same but I help myself sleep at night with this thought: If he goes, we should be extremely well compensated. We got 2 first rounders for Scully FFS. You never know, Hogan's back could plague his career and we could end up with another Petracca/Brayshaw combo as a result of a trade. That would not be the end of the world. Although Hogan is worth more and and off field than both those players combined. Throw in another Oliver to make it square! I do think he will stay though.

    Mate Hogan leaving wont be the end of this footy club. Hawthorn and Geelong have proved this that you can still have success without their number 1 star player.

    It's not the fact of him leaving as a player, it's the fact of us getting walked all over, but him leaving will be yet another set back.

    If Hogan left (personally think he will leave eventually) i expect the club to make an all mighty mother of all trade deals.

    You would think so, but look at McCarthy, didn't get his way and is now on indefinite leave. Who knows what deal they will make at the end of the year.  While Cam is nowhere near Hulk's in talent (IMO) the precedent has been set, if you don't get your way, throw a fit and ask for leave until you get your way.

    I do not know Jesse personally, so i can not be certain if he will leave or not, or even if he is the type to screw us over like that.

    Would be nice to know from people that grew up with Hulk if he always looked so grumpy LoL.

    Hogan has the chance to be the difference.  He knows it, the players know it and the coaches know it.  I suspect he's the type of character to see what this evolving group can deliver.  Will he take ownership and responsibility for what he can contribute ?  Champions usually want to put the team on their back and show the way. 

    If Hogan goes post a premiership so be it, but for him to leave before the club has made significant inroads it would be a disaster, because he's the type of player that will help make us a destination club.  But I suspect he'll stay.

    And if he ever does leave I think he'll remain in Melbourne, which is why I'm confident he won't.

    So when GWS reported that they were aware and working with McCarthy's issues during the last year that didn't really cut any sway with you ? As far as you are concerned he has just thrown a fit because he didn't get his own way ?

    Where has it been reported that GWS knew he had serious "issues" (other than wanting to be traded back home) during or before last year's trade period ?

    Do you really think they would tell the whole footy world they had no idea?

    One of the papers suggested that there were issues mid year and were working with him.

    So you just remember reading it somewhere at some stage through the year?  From whom, was it GWS saying it or a jerno assuming it Robbo style and after the fact?

    Anyway, my fears still stand, the players have all the power.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
