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.

    Yes I know I am a cynic.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
