Realistically managing the extremes of both Hogan untapped potential and Lewis experienced performance and everything in between is the answer. 

Bur what a great position to be in for a change and progress since PJ seems reassuring

I picked Hogan's re-signing as I would most likely have walked away from the game if he left.  Melodramatic?  Most probably, but it would be fair to say that if he didn't, someone like Lewis may not have come to us, and the number of members would've taken a hit as I wouldn't have re-signed myself.

Option 2 might not have occurred without option1 but option 1 might not have occurred if the club had not shown the maturity and competence that it did.

Jesse is not a fool - there is more upside here than in the west and a greater chance of success thanks to the club's improvement under PJ and JM.

I took a while to pick my response but I looked at it from purely "My own" opinion and not from the greater club/public as a whole...

Thus I chose Option 2 as I was already personally confident that Jesse would sign so for ME the most important aspect of this post season has been the signing (upon request) of Jordan Lewis...

This is huge in the scheme of things...

Just people wait until NEXT year's post season... We will go BANG! and recruit a genuine gun of the competition who will see that the possibility of bringing this great club back to the top is an opportunity one doesn't want to miss being involved in...

The days of good list management and quality player development are upon us my friends!

In Melbourne I trust :cool:

None of the above, just doing all the business with a minimum of fuss, Josh Mahoney being the mouthpiece, and evervbody in and out being treated with respect, that will make us a destination club, along with the onfield success 

Could be argued that a) it's yet to fully play out and b) set in motion long ago; but the realitively seamless transition to Goody is a big part of that getting on with things with a minimum of fuss.

Full cread to PJ and Roos.

OTHER :    Not really caring about the draft for the first time in a long long while

Saty and Reverend have some interesting points.. Good to retain Hogan but we would still be on track had we not ( but better to have )

Its where we find ourselves currently holistically for mine, and thats the sum of ALL parts.

Very close to my thoughts, but I would say the assurance and competence the club showed.  We didn't leak like so many clubs (and like we used to).  We had clear goals which we achieved with a minimum of fuss.  When the opportunity arose we got the Lewis deal done with no fuss, quickly and cleanly.  The Hogan signing is a symptom of the overall improvement in the club.

I needed a new poll for the homepage. This is the best I could come up with. It's probably a choice between the first two. Feel free to discuss.

Easy, the continuation of recruiting contested ball tough types of footballers.  It is uniting all around the club in solidarity. 

The lessons aren't lost on these real footy people, who are transforming this club back into respect, with a fire & brimstone foundation.  You can see all falling back into line, with this original footy philosophy.

Dunno, did he jump of his own accord, or was it the encouragement to that did it ?

We are almost out of the old weak rear-enders.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
