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.

    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 .

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
