You are kidding mate!

They offered 11 and 23 and we got 5 and 23.  

A win for both

Regardless he was worth 2 first rounds. Especially from a club that's had zero success since inception.

Poorly handled.

    It removes the distraction of will he wont he stay for the next 12 months.  We get May, Preuss, KK pick 23 for Hogan Kent and Tyson.  I reckon we have identified holes and filled them

    We have improved our list, that’s what it’s all about.

    Honestly Hogan was going to command big dollars next year. We would have probably ended up with less next year if he left then. They sold for as much as they could get for him.

    Interesting trade to move 8 spots, not sure what the logic is?

    Yes. Tired of the “will he go home” circus every 12 months. Let him go and play for Freo. Hope he can get a kick in their forward line.

    Perhaps we are up to something? Maybe trying to get into the first round.

    Would think a player...if just picks we have days up our sleeves. For a player we have a bit under ,5 hours...I'm intrigued.

    WE CAVED IN WITH HOGAN DEAL. Freo and other clubs must be laughing their heads of at this deal!

    should have insisted on 5, 19, Kollo and late third rounder.

    Under the deal done Neale worth more than Hoges

    Gutted!

    And when they said no..?

    How do you 'win' a trade period?

    Jesse was going, even if he stayed, he was gone next year and we all know what happens when players stays on when they have already checked out.

    We got a big body defender in, which we dont have and a promising youngster running and delivering out of the backline, which we also dont have (Hunt hasnt proven himself there).

    We also take in pick 23 into a very promising draft.

    Was it ideal? No, but we certainly got 2 quality players and a good chance a ripper kid in the draft.

    Just to confirm does that mean we now have 7 places to fill on the list?

    They have their eye on someone and think he will will be gone by 36.

    If there were a Mario from Doncaster of Demonland, surely it would be Picket.

    You get a good idea whether you've won in September 2019.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
