Can I ask why there isn't the same rumours going around for Patrick Cripps.  From country WA played at East Fremantle, if the Dockers are chasing young WA stars this guy would be very high on their shopping list.  You can build a midfield around this bloke he will be a super star of the game.

Pavlich.

Because Cripps is contracted until the end of 2019.

Because it's us, and the media knows that many of our supporters are riddled with MFCSS and still have PTSD from the Scully situation.
That combined with the fact Freo have been crying out for a decent forward, not a midfielder.

The media rates Melbourne's ability to hold onto a player less than it rates Carlton's ability to hold onto a player.

That would take him close to RFA, by that stage the AFL would have canned the compensation picks for Free agents.

History might support that

Every player can be a free agent of sorts these days. Depends on how much they sook, tug on mummy's apron strings  and dummy spit. It's a character thing. 

This is what makes the Cam McCarthy thing so fascinating. Of all the coaches in the league I would have thought the one with the least tolerance for this sort of behaviour is Ross Lyon (remember Col Sylvia?). 

I think it goes to show that this no D*#khead policy that gets thrown around is a bit of an external misnomer. 

Ross would love to have Jesse. But my god he's going to have to pay and I don't know what he's got except years of draft picks that are a huge risk to give up if you look at the age profile of their list.

We are, for once, in the box seat.

To put a finer point on it: more Carlton supporters in the media than Demon ones.

Because in Feb this year Cripps signed an extension until 2019.  So no headlines there. 

About the same time, Jesse announced he was deferring contract talks until the CBA and sees how MFC season pans out.  So he attracts the full force of media interests and all sorts of rumours.

Cripps and Hogan play different roles but are having totally parallel careers.  Cripps saw fit to sign up with a bottom of the ladder side.  Jesse has not, yet...

 

I'm convinced he's Gawn now. Just been making Frawley time the last few weeks.

He can't even carry out the basics, like kicking the ball, seems a few screws loose to me as well, Freos pick 12 or whatever would be a fair deal.

HE did smash his knee into the post and looked like it affected him all day. I would have been in a [censored] off mood as well. Please remember he is only 21-22 and everyone expects him to be the savoir.

Fantastic first half playing lead up CHF role taking 7 marks.

 

Could barely run let alone leap thereafter.

 

He looked super sore.

Hogan and Viney both looked incredibly sore for most of the game.

Saw him singing the team song after the win, and looked completely disinterested . Everyone else was head up smiling at each other  and Hogan was just barely mouthing the words and staring at the floor.

We have missed you Bluey. You take forums to a whole new level of cray cray....

You're not wrong there, i dont bother with the superfooty aka carlton, richmond, geelong podcast anymore.

The first half of the year was entirely collingwood and richmond content all over the media. [censored] em. Blackout.

Call me crazy, but he seems like a player that gets depressed about not kicking 5 goals rather than disinterested in his club

Proud forwards may not feel happy when they fail to impact on the scoreboard for the second week running, and have a bruised knee...

efa

He gets super frustrated and his first reaction to not winning the ball in a one-on-one is look back up the field to his teammate and sat "wtf was that" with his body language. Did that 3 or 4 times today. 

He and Garlett have been very lazy lately.

I expect him " to know " in the French sense but not to deliver us single handedly.

In fairness, he did just have to watch that game.

Confirmed: Hogan has informed our club he intends to re-sign. Contract negotiations have begun and will probably be completed this year but could take up to 6 months.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
