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!

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
