We've done this dance before BB, you are the merchant banker of supporters and I'm more into the pathos of the club. In the movie the Castle I'd be speaking about vibe, and perhaps I'm simple (I feel simple, arguing for respect on an internet forum). 

I fully understand  the Vibe, but Mabo I see it all holistically. It's about a team , a club. 160 years young and 54 without a flag. Whatever's best to that end. In that light Jesse may or may not be part of it. In a fashion it's irrelevant. His life is his. I wish him well. Players, coaches , officials come and go.

But speaking of pathos, it's us Demon tragics that go the distance irrespective. Should it actually transpire, a trade, I'm sure Hogan will have no compunction donning another jumper. Nor do I. Footy is footy.

I still don't understand how discussion of a players merits and worth etc is disrespectful.l

    Sam McClure reporting that Freo are coming hard for Hogan and putting all their eggs in the Hogan basket. We await.

    Have also heard this, but it is hardly news. 

    The difference this time is we arguably look better structurally without Hoges, and Weid is developing fast.

    Will be an interesting off season.

    Wow this is amazing, just how many eggs will they put in that basket? 

    If its an unbelievable offer they would have to look at it very closely.

    Probably the same eggs as every year, some choccie ones, some duck, some chicken. But sounds like this is the year they want him.

    If Jesse wants to stay, he stays. if he wants to go, Im pretty confident he and the club would look after each other.

    Something is definitely brewing here.

    If its a godfather offer and as much as id like to refuse, you would have to take it.

    Godfather offer would consist of, 2 early 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder.

    Freo??  FFS.  What player with any brain at all would sign with that shower and play under Lyon?  No matter how much cash they shoved at you.

    Why not Freo?  Not every footballer considers potential on-field success to be the one and only consideration when making their career choices.  Money, home, relationships also come into it, and for some would be more important than who the coach is and where the team is likely to finish.

    I think the MFC should ask for Brayshaw and Cerra for Hogan which Freo would not entertain but if they do then our midfield becomes better in the long run and we could use Weid's as his replacement

    Does Sam McClure ‘Believe’ or does he ‘Understand’ Fremantle are tabling an offer? 

    I'd say he underbelieves.

    One thing is for certain,  IF Hogan goes to Freo, at least he'll get favourable WA home ground umpiring for his constant free kick whinging

    Hogan for Cerra + 1st rounder.

    1st rounder to GWS for Shiel.

    Happy with that. (Only if Hogan entertains wanted to be traded)

    I understand that Melbourne supporters are disorientated by finals, but guys, we are actually playing finals. Can we stop talking about hypothetical and frankly idiotic trades, and actually enjoy FINALS?! 

    You have plenty of time to talk trades after finals.

    FINALS!!!!!

    Surely Brayshaw has to be up there, on top of his clearance work he’s starting to kick the odd goal running into fwd 50.

    Really interested to see how Frost’s form continues as we enter the finals. Obviously in no ones top 5 players but if he can build on his current purple patch he will find himself getting a game every week. I think we could play Lever, Oscar and Frost together.

    Gus would definitely be right on the cusp.

    Well Dr they should revoke your accreditation, i wouldn't even contemplate it then. Cerra? what has he done? and a first rounder, your kidding right.

    Were talking about a Key position fwd here. Kicked 47 goals in 20 games and playing sore after the break

    We gave up 2 1st round picks for Lever, Hogan is in his early 20's why wouldn't we ask for that.

    I take Goodwin at face value and believe what he said On the Couch that Hogan is going nowhere.

    So you are not of the opinion that lying is the second laungage of the AFL chook?

    If a coach or FD tell me it is daytime or go outside and check.

    I think Goodwin has a pretty good record for telling it as it is.

    • 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.
