Hogan is a tremendous player and I really hope he signs with us, but if he's set on going home to Perth I hope he makes that known this year so we can do a deal while he's in contract and Freo are in the bottom 4.  If we got equitable compensation for him, I've seen enough from Weidemann and Hulett, and with Watts improvement this year to feel comfortable that we could still continue our rise to challenge.

Agreed. 

I'd have a lot more respect for Hogan if he comes clean at the end of the year and says his intentions are to return to WA at the end of the contract, "so why not trade me a year earlier to maximize your (MFC) return". As opposed to stuffing the club around for a further 12 months and and us holding less bargaining power.

Whichever way we paint it, losing Hogan would be a very big blow to the club. Weed and Hulett might come on next year in the seniors, but we know Hogan is a bona fide star in the making and pretty close now. I'm keeping my head in the sand and refusing to consider it because losing Hogan would definitely set us back.

No-one would dispute that.  But if he wants to go home - well that's it.  I can see how we can avoid a disaster in that case.

I know it's not exactly scientific, but all you have to do is watch Hogan's body language and interaction with his teammates at training or on gameday.
Unless we get blown out of the water by another team paying him $2mil per year, he's with us for the long haul.

 Or unless - heaven forbid - we remain winless for the second half of the season...

We'll win this week.

Did anyone see or hear Kings comments on SEN. Good signs for the Dees. (From where we've come from)

In summary said Dees arent a basket case anymore.

I'm actually starting to believe Hogan might stay.

Either way he's a genuine gun he wont be able to lewve for cheap so it won't be a complete disaster

I heard the first 6 or 7 minutes. They were pretty complimentary of the whole team and the way they are coached. They went on to talk about TMac and gave him a big rap.

Going, going, GONE!!!

Anything reinforcing your opinion? Because if anything, recent comments are indicating that he's more likely to stay...

Anyone else ever wonder whether Demonland members act with the same paranoia and jealously in their real relationships as they do with their football players?

Half would have restraining orders out against them. A few probably do.

Some of Meggs' Dees supporting acquaintances are fully convinced he's heading back to WA but for some strange and inexplicable reason Meggs believes he will re-commit to us.

Anyway, Mr and Mrs Meggs are off to TIO Stadium for the big game and are looking forward to seeing our Number One man?

While we might not agree with what he says it dont mean it isn't wrong or that far from the truth.

Anyway I'm not suggesting King is the be all end all but its nice to have our club talked about in a positive light and as a destination club.

That is big IMO...

Nothing reinforcing his opinion, that's the second time he's posted that in a week.

As a surfer, Hogan is addicted to the big wave and the ride. He now knows the MFC is a big wave with the team and talent coming through and will have no hesitation signing on to ride it all the way...

I keep four exes chained up in my basement. Does that count?

Very positive. Am I the only one who finds it irritating that, as soon as someone talks positively about the Dees for the first time in 15 years, all the others start moaning about him "banging on"? All they ever talk about is Richmond and Collingwood and that seems fine by everyone. God I hope we become a steamrolling juggernaut and stick it right up those pretentious pricks.

Most of the recent comments I've read on players leaving clubs Hogan isn't even mentioned.
