I have just been told Hogan and his manager met with Fremantle last week and are having another meeting this week.       I hope this is incorrect but it's what I have been told.

The guy missed a year with a bad back and we paid him

He had the year from hell this year and we have supported and paid him.

He apparently loves the club and the players.

He just signed a new contract last year and has two years to go.

Why would he meet Freo when he is contracted and a required player?

I don't believe it.

Petracca did his ACL. Hogan had a dodgy back.

Cannot possibly be true as Hogan has been overseas in Bali with Harmes, Gawn and a few other MFC players, as evidenced by multiple social media updates.

Gawn is already back and working in a coffee shop, can't remember which one.

Max and Harmes were on the footy show last Thursday night, I hope Jesse didn't do the Perth drop-off.

Is it over yet? We were so close to finals this year but the negativity around thread is surprising. 

Watts, is gone, that's ok, he isn't the player we wanted him to be. 

Hoges, I would be dumbfounded if he goes and strongly doubt he will.

Lever, depending on spend and output (as with all trades) will be a good get.

Outside of that the world is our oyster.

@Roost It who has excellent mail posted that Hogan had been told by the club he was not on the 'untradeable list' and could go it they got a good price ie if another club paid us overs+. 

He then posted that there were only six (yes 6!) players on that list.  (pages 105 and 106 of the Lever thread).  I get the 'any player is tradeable theory' but...

That short list doesn't exactly make a player feel really, really wanted so I am at the point where I don't blame any of our players for looking around.  And I believe that clubs are talking to Hogan altho I doubt he would go.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

He allegedly turned us down a couple of seasons ago. Sounds like the Shuey was on the other foot..

From the club... "hogan is not going anywhere"

but, as others have said here, anyone is tradable for the right price - would have to be a massive win for us

A little bit dramatic but i agree with you.

In saying that untradable and traded for the right price are very similar.

What i think @Roost It was saying is you're not going to trade Gawn for tippet as an example, but if you got offered say Lobb and Sheil you'd look at it. 

It's not likely but if an amazing offer came along. It's sensible is all I'm trying to say.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
