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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
