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

I don’t think he is a free agent next year

    The only reason I would entertain any deal for Hogan is if he said he will go to WA when he is a FA. restricted or not, players end up where they like usually and we would be left with nothing for a gun.

    is it 2021 when he will first be a FA?

    Andrew Bradshaw and a top 10 pick in return please.

    To be honest, I think Cerra looks a lot better than Andrew brayshaw.

    If we can turn Hogan in to:

    - May
    - Preuss
    - Ed Langdon

    Then we've filled 3 needs (full back, back up ruck, wing) with 1 player leaving. I'd do that for sure.

    It would be brutal but it's a brutal competition

    Did Cerra not just re-sign for a couple of years.

    Sounds like Preuss will be done regardless.

    Or as some like to say, irregardless.

    Jungle drums beating louder and louder .. blokes on DL who have unequivocally stated he wasn't going anywhere have to realise that you can never say never.. It's going to be an interesting month ahead.

    By my calculations, Hogan is NOT a free agent at the end of next year. Can anyone confirm?

  • Quote

    Greg Denham and Jon Ralph?

    Looks like it’s happening.

    Straight swap for Lachie Neale or pick 4 from the Neale to Brisbane deal plus Cerra.

    Otherwise no go.

    he couldn't do that as he's not a free agent next year

    I don't recall one poster who has 'unequivocally stated he wasn't going anywhere'.

    I'll wait for confirmation from Jesse or the club, but it seems where there is smoke, there may be fire. 

    Again, the Sun article stated that he hadn't asked to be traded, so I'll be interested to see how this unfolds.

    Will be absolutely filthy if all we get back for him is Steven May!

    Don't get me wrong, May is a good player.. but he doesn't hold a candle to Hogan's potential in my view... In addition to the fact May is 3 years older!

    Proof please. A single quote will do the trick.

    If we are open to it, knowing he can't leave as an unrestricted free agent next season, then we will play hard ball. If Freo can get a high pick alone for Lachie Weller, then you would expect we get more than that. Their first pick and a young player (Brayshaw, for example), where we then trade the pick on to GC for May might make sense.

    Denham's article in the Oz is a paragon of opinion dressed up as fact.  The only part that veers close to a a statement is prefaced with "it is understood" which is an old journalistic trick. Easy to deny - easy to say "told ya so". Appropriately Supernaut's "I Like it Both Ways" is a West Australian song.

    "It is understood Melbourne are prepared to consider sacrificing Hogan for May after their glaring deficiency in defence against West Coast in last Saturday’s 11-goal preliminary final defeat, even with top backman Jake Lever expected back early next season from a knee reconstruction."

    No way am I giving Hogan for ONLY Freo's pick 6 from Freo to ontrade for May. 

     

     If he is going we need to take the Adrian Dodoro (Ess) approach. Some of his demands on behalf of his club have bordered on the absurd but there's no way in hell he'd leave the table without gaining an advantage. They want a potential champion, then you've got to give up something pretty bloody good.

    And those posters, myself included, were going by the fact there was no proof. All signs were that he was happy, so why would we trade him? 

    Now that there is more info it changes things. That info is still unconfirmed, but there is potentially more legit stuff now.

    Would feel better about that.. but would Freo be prepared to pay Brayshaw plus first round? Steep!

    Both of Freo's first rounders, or one plus Brayshaw/Cerra. Nothing less.

    Hold these purple peanuts to ransom. 

    Hogan is worth more than LEver, who cost us two first rounders.

    So youre spot on.  And we can throw in Dean Kent .

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
