There is a good chance I will be four days older but is that what you had in mind bb?

Not really Old.  More along the lines that I would think something would need to give before friday. I really cant see the club going into next year with this as an unknown, nor can I see them wanting to even go into next week without some certainty as to Mister Hogans commitment. 

Its all well and good for some to remind us that he still has a year left  but as it was he  or his /and or his management that stalled things I should have ask y why. There was no indication back then of the family situation other than possible  go-home-itis.  His Fathers health may well put a different spin on things but why that cant be resolved to everyones best outcome ?

If this is purely about money, resolve it. If this IS about family, that too can be resolved  ( as far as can be helped )

Any which way , announcement or whatever , I expect something to happen before Friday

and yes we'll be 4 days older

Probably rubbish. Anyone know who runs this account? It's not an AFL endorsed user is it?

Use of the AFL logo would be unwise if not affiliated...

I reckon i can last 4 days but May2017. Big big call, Light Great Northern. Maybe..

My gut tells me that if a contract isn't signed then a trade will be done this period, we can't be waiting around for him to screw us over in 2-3-4 years time

So Barrett and Ralph have mail that seems to be totally different. I don't think anyone knows what will happen.

Could that be the club leaking conflicting versions, so that no one really knows until they make an official announcement.

It depends how badly you want to keep Jessie.

Right now nothing can be done without his agreement.

While we all want a decision we do have a couple of skilled people handling this who have not put a foot wrong so far.

Patience is a virtue.

If he wants to go back to WA this trade period it is not a good one from our point of view.

We might all just have to wait to get the best result

I actually think the contrary.  I would have thought this is by far the better year  to trade. Next year we're backed into a corner

Could also be that the club has said nothing and these two are guessing, each in the opposite direction.

I wish. My best source is Max Gawn's old basketball team mate who just keeps telling me what a great guy he is. I tell him I want more and he tells me Maxy hates talking footy when with mates. So sorry, not I.

I suspect this is the case, and the club either has no new info, or they're in total lock down out of respect for Jesse's personal situation.

My fading memory tells me neither has a first round pick this year to offer and I am not sure we are in any worse position next year. If he wants to leave he still has to satisfy us with a trade.

It would want to be very good players.

I might take Kennedy and Darling though.

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
