Yeah but at least we know what we are getting.

This is exactly it - AT least Hogan has some exposed form before he gets the big bucks. Boyd had shown pretty much nothing and to date hasn't shown all that much more

    The long plane trips every fortnight are robbing the West Australian teams of recruits ,according to Balme on Sen.

    Many now think Hogan will stay at Melbourne.

    I think he will get the money Dawes is now getting if he recovers his form a bit.

    I think he has been solid without being spectacular  - he will get the money irrespective,

    NUTBEAN the Dees surely would have a back up plan by now if Hogan wishes to leave when his contract is up.

    I would say the back up plan would be 'Freo you give us Lachie Neale and your first pick in 2016 (looking likely to be in the top 5/6).

    He will stay and play in multiple flags......

    Brenton Sanderson's doing?

    Bernie wanted to reject the trade and stay at the Crows until he spoke to the Coach and list manager.

    Was told that no matter how well he played in 2014, he wouldn't be offered a contract at Adelaide for 2015.

    The Boyd signing was around the notion of generating excitement and hope - nothing wrong with that.

    $1m a season is a pretty expensive price tag for notional excitement and hope.

    franklin I get, danger and Ablett I get - that much for a player that could be ? Not for me thanks....

    We'll never know the real amount of his contract - but that's not the point. The Bullies got a fairly big signing on the back of losing a couple of big names...

    I believe he'll come good.

    Freo are in a similar boat to where we were early in 2007. Went into the season thinking that at worst we were in the finals mix and then it all went horribly wrong after 1/4 time Round 1.

    Freo are in a little better position in that they still have some good young players like Fyfe, Neale & Bennell (although he could be a cancer). But like us in 2007, they wont be able to fully start their rebuild until the end of the year. 

    Makes for a long season!

    Yeah I was thinking of us in 2007. Their fall from grace has been a bit more spectacular though, when I think of 07 I think of all our heartbreaking losses (Port, North, WB), though it was pretty exciting when we eventually won 2 in a row.

    Whilst I will comment on the likeness of certain players and  say that Franklin, Ablett and Dangerfield deserve to be paid as the marquee players in the AFL I don't get into debate of actual figures a player does get paid. I made the exception with Boyd because he is now in the top 10 best paid players in the league and it was based on pure potential.

    I am not saying that Boyd won't come good but to date he has shown little. As to Hogan, I won't comment on what he should be paid but surely you would agree that he has shown infinitely more than Boyd. 

    We would be paying Hogan on his upside but we also have some insight as to what we believe he can deliver  he has shown us that in some nice patches. Can you say the same about Boyd ?

    Into the 2nd year of the $million a year contract and shown nothing, despite playing in a good side.

    Sure, but the MFC would clearly be able to pay him the dollars he's worth as well, and allow him to play at the MCG every other week, and not have to fly every second week.

     

    Really? We're not a rich club, and as we know, salary cap doesn't mean squat when clubs do extra deals and jobs.

    Am I wrong but didn't Bernie get a little nudge

     

    Yes. But could have chosen a lot of different clubs to end up at.

     

    19 hours ago, ENYAW said:

    The way the Dees are playing Hogan is not the focal point,the club realises he may want to go home. Hopefully he chooses to stay and the fact Freo are crap that may encourage him to stay. Another good recruiting round at the end of the year will ensure that we will be finals material. Remaining spuds will be let go.

     

    Que?! Have you seen the triple teams this year?! Jack may be kicking the goals, but Hogan is still the first guy you look for if you're Jack Viney.

    He may well come good but to pay big bucks for a name because you missed out on other big names is folly IMO. 

    We do have a fair idea of the top paid players in the league - tell me that Boyd fits in with them.

    As another example of paying for potential - if Cripps of Carlton got into the top echelon of paid players - I would have no problem. you are paying for potential but he also has enough exposed form to warrant paying for that potential.

    Interesting reading about Vince at Adelaide. I thought we were paying overs at the time, but I was wrong.

    I think they got Matt Crouch with that pick who is a good player, but Vince would be a great addition to their current lineup.

    Vince imo is a far better player since joining us than he was at the crows for all but one season, he's aged very well so far.

    • 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.
