I would be playing Hogan off Half Back in 2019. I don’t think we have seen the best of Jesse yet. Not by a long shot. 

Personally i don’t think his kicking is good enough to be a key forward. 

But i certainly wouldn’t be trading him for pick 6

I think his field kicking is some of the best going around.  He has a few staggers at set shots, but watching him deliver on the move to another player is different.  I really rate this part of his game.  In a way, he could be a bigger version of Petracca for us.  Shifting him to HB could be an interesting idea, or using his power, marking and aerobic capacity on the wing (a great marking target as well) could be another option.  Personally I see him as the roaming CHF type who would be damned hard to match up on, with Weids and TMac deep.

 

Can't believe the myth that we look better with Jesse out is still going.

myth? literally as soon as hogan went out we beat 4 top 8 teams in a row.  naive to think its coincidence. it also happened last season.

I'm not convinced Hogan will leave, but if we got 2 top 10 picks in this year's draft (Neale pick and their own) and held on to them (not that keen on May) I would probably need to change my underwear.

Yes i agree, Jesse is a Melbourne player and will still be a Melbourne player in 2019.

 

Read the articles out there. All looking into things and taking words and spinning them. Jesse isn't leaving

Now he's apparently agreed to go to Freo .. How do these media outlets get approval to run with these headlines. 

Now thats click bait.

Its an article about a article with no by line to it. 

If a reporter had that info they would put there name to it with an exclusive tag

I've got a mate in AFL Media - he was 100% convinced last year that Jesse was off. 

Seems to me they've recycled the same story again.

Dont you love the media? In the article it says "The Australian’s Greg Denham reported on Tuesday that Hogan has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Dockers and will force the Demons into a trade this trade period."

In Denham's article the closest he comes to saying that is "Should Hogan agree to return home, the Dockers will have to give up a first-round selection to Melbourne in return, which the Demons would have to on-trade to Gold Coast to secure May."

Nothing about agreeing to a blockbuster deal. If Hogan had agreed Denham would most certainly have said so.


love the lack of quotes and citing of sources there. FMD, journalism in this country is so amateurish, there is a complete lack of integrity.

Would get more accuracy from Chinese whispers than through media outlets nowadays, lol.

 

For the MFCSS sufferers out there, fear not. Hogan cannot sign a contract with Freo due to him having one in place with Melbourne until the end of the 2019 season. He can only sign off on one once we agree to trade him, which would result in the outcome being of great benefit to us, as oppose to being held over a barrel for scraps. Fear not.

What a load of absolute codswallop! denham simply guessing and people quoting Denhams " information" . Sheesh we live in a strange age. Plus there is no way in hell that,  even if Denham was right ( which I highly doubt)  that we would agree to trade him for ONE first round draft pick. Stupid  frikn story. My head hurts. 

Denham is only giving credit to made up rumours of Hogans departure fanned by some talk back radio hosts desperate to talk about something and posters from Demonland.

Also Hogan is worth a top 10 pick and a later first round pick as a minimum. Young but established Key Forwards are almost impossible to trade for.

Unfortunately if Denham has reported it, then it's likely to be on the money...

We're not talking Brad Hardy here, like him or not Denham is a serious journalist and has runs on the board.


@Pennant St Dee, how do you rate Freo's young key defender. Is is Pearce? and is he worth part of the deal?

If the story is correct I would be looking at a player plus...a pick or maybe 2 players.

We're in the so called window and don't need picks at the moment unless we can on trade them for needs.

he could of course say... "trade me or I go next year" as a restricted free agent.

Life isn't straight forward... Players now decide... clubs take what they can get

That's fair, but he never said Hogan had agreed to a deal. Just that Freo were going to offer him a massive deal and that they think they can get him, which is the same news we have heard for two years now. 

The other article ran with his news and then claimed he agreed to a deal,which is not what Denham said. It will snowball from here.

He would do that.   I dont think he'd screw Melbourne over.

Isn't Jason Taylor on record as being very keen on young Ed Langdon? He's a small defender though...

Pearce is another Omac.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
