It would be nice for once just once that we get linked to a big name. 

Just once is all I ask. 

Brand names can be pretty big.

    This would leave Freo with the ability to offer Dee's pick 3 & 7 for Hogan -  and they'd have a fwd line set up for the next decade with Hogan & Patton.

    Would certainly give dees something to think about especially as we could lose him for  nothing in 4 years time if free agency compo is removed as spoken about.

    Not sure Patton would be keen on going Freo, but maybe he wouldn't mind coming home.

    Would we take 3 and Patton for Hogan?

    FWIW, Patton just on AFL 360 said he is going nowhere. He is contracted and wants to stay at GWS as he said they have a great future.

    If Hogan was deadset keen on leaving........yes.

    If Hogan was happy to stay......no

    Exactly right BA.

    That's why the rumor about us the other week of being into Josh Watts doesn't surprise me either.

    We need tall defenders, rucks, ruck/fwd's and outside mids this off season.

    What was interesting about the Brand rumour was that the media didn't know who the interested club might be... and as we don't leak....

    Well there are rumours JH will be announced on a 4 year deal next week.

    But yes, we are much better at keeping matters in house now.

    The natives are getting restless at Pie land. Not in any big way, but it's bubbling under. Eddie has been there 21 years, no succession plan, directors aren't elected (they are appointed shortly before an AGM and then get "elected" unanimously because it would be unfair to turf them out so soon), directors are yes-man, the handover from Malthouse to Buckley bungled because Eddie panicked, jobs for the boys. Lots more stuff.

    It's growing, but wins on the oval can take away a lot of pressure. More losses, on the other hand ...

    it's delicious isnt it.

    Had a similar convo the other week with bro-law ( ex pie player ) Res of family all gung ho  Pies Pies Pies...etc.. b-i-l  only one to suggest that Pies will slip..and badly next year. Or to put it another way....run fast on the spot, going nowhere.  An interesting observation was that if Bucks relents and starts bringing in top ups then its an admission that hes not getting the goods out of his current crop...( and NEVER will ) 

    I laughingly put it the Pies are the new successors to Richmond. He thought 9th would be a hard get for the pies next year.. Reckons we should get used to the idea of years of finals.  I replied...DAMN !!  ( smuggly, amongst a sea of cold pastries !! )

    7 of today's Swans side and 5 of today's Dogs side were rookies. 

    My point is you turn over your list with more chances to improve by getting rid of players who cannot assist the list.

    Cmon Red, you know rumours and leaking are different. There are rumours he will only sign 2 years, there are rumours he will not sign at all.

    The fact is, no body knows. Because, unlike some, we don't leak

    What's that got to do with what I said?

    Also some of those 15 mids were obtained through the rookie draft and late in the main draft, which is my point.

    Wouldn't mind betting the Dog's supporter site is idle tonight as the members are enjoying a drink and talking to each other in a room or bar filled with deliously happy like minded folk. Can't wait until that happens to us.

    Amazing that Hamling was a cats reject and now a premiership player and a huge part of why the dogs won, shows smart recruiting can make all the difference.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
