Why do we give any credibility to the opinions of this pumped up little rat ????

Agree. Just another ex player trying to still be relevant. 

 

I think there is a legitimate question about the direction footy is going about how successful teams with multiple key targets will be. I don’t think losing hogan would be the end of the world. We’d get a lot in return. But I also don’t think we will lose him.

I’m not one to sensationalise, but do we honestly think he’s the answer at FF.

Trade him for two first rounders while he has some currency !

Calm down sweetie.


Yeah [censored] off 

[censored] this thread. Shut it down before it gets ridiculous

That's one of the biggest lies I've seen on here.

Trade Hogan?  GTFO.

 

The man deserves his opinion.

I'd go Jones way before tho

I don't like to jump on this bandwagon

But I am

He can't lead and mark, and he can't kick - pretty fundamental for FF

Just because he's big and fit doesn't make him a KPF

Btw Weideman in same boat ATM


worth a discussion if you think we can cover his goal scoring ability with Weideman and improved mid field kicking.

So what do we get in his place. Two first round picks ... I like the idea but we all know it's a lottery. We also save a lot of money that allows us to go after Gaff.

Assuming you go for a trade or an ontrade of the two picks who do you trade for.

I'm neutral but I would be disappointed if the list committee wasn't doing the SWOT analysis.

You have to look at where we have trade currency and Hogan is where it's at.

Geez calm down Overexaduration do we have another Key Forward waiting i don't think so right now Weidemann is not up to it. I personally think he is carrying something but once on the field your expected to perform. I don't know why they didn't rest him last week to be honest. I would moving on JKH. Why they continue to play JKH i have no idea he is not up to hit. If they would have played Kent instead as bad as we played we may have got over the line.

What a depressing thread!

I'd take 3 first rnd

so would I but no one is going to offer it unless you want to take it over three years.

BTW I would want two first rounders in the first 8 before I would think about it.

why.... we need to talk about how we win a premiership so all things should be able to be discussed.

People on demonland reveal their lack of knowledge about football quite often. 

They are done through:

trade hogan

trade petracca

play pederson

to name a few

To quote Darth Vader "I find your lack of faith disturbing".

To trade him now is a mistake.  His too-often misses of set shots really makes my blood boil, but not enough to trade him.

Petracca on the other hand... I might be warming to this idea.

I agree on discussing what would be helpful, I just don't like the hysterical premise.

The season's not over, we need positive solutions now, not next year.

Maybe play Hogan strictly at half forward and in the middle next week?


Said this a while ago. We have glaring holes, need class, but no one wants to give anything up for quality. We need to be creative. I’d offer Hogan, Kent, Hunt, Garlett for something decent (2-3 players or picks.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
