I love Jesse but he would go home with the blessing of all Demon supporters surely.  The bloke has been through some dark times in his personal life.

Cant help but get excited over the haul we would get in return for him.  Could set us up for 15 years.

Could also set us back quite a few if its not handled right!

    Heres the current draft order.  Gold Coast and Freo hold picks 2 and 5.  I would want both for Hogan, and nothing less.

    i agree with this but I reckon it'll be one first round this year and next years as well - just like the Lever trade. Freo will be woeful again next year so we should get another high pick unless of course we burn it this year (trade future picks) scenario.

    FML.

    I'm rather dismayed this is happening.

    Interesting timing with the changeover of CEO. I know Mahoney is doing the negotiating but the CEO crunches the numbers and who has the final say Peter or Gary?

    And let the funni season begin!

    Didnt take long to fire up after our last match. 

    Good luck at Freo Hoges.

    It does have that feeling doesnt it. But I think we need to wait until we see the deal. Surely the cap space that it opens must also put us in the running for some of the bigger free agents this year?

    Mahoney , Taylor and their crew haven't let us down once yet.  In fact they have been absolutely brilliant.

    IF Jesse is determined to go west (but why would a KPF want to play under Lyon's game plan FFS?) then we must demand two high picks PLUS Andrew Brayshaw who could also legitimately claim homesickness.

    Yeah, you'd think so.

    Might be the play that ultimately lands us Gaff but also arms us with a superior hand next year for another gun.

    He’s contracted so if they want him cough up your two top 10 picks this year freo. 

    Happy to up our offer on gaff with the room freed up and offer both those picks to try and prize out josh kelly

    I am perfectly happy for Hogan to leave if in return we get Whitfield or Kelly.

    @Patches O’houlihan says there's nothing to see here, so that's good enough for me. Probably the best track record on here.

    That wasn’t based on any info I had sorry mate I just assumed it was bs like usual.

    I suspect you're right, but we are being pushed to a trade we wouldn't otherwise have taken... and possibly for unders.

    Get ready people. Apparently it's happening. Brace yourselves. This one will hurt.

    We paid picks 3 and 13 to get Hogan to the club. Then developed him from a teen to one of the best forwards in the game. Pick 5 alone won’t go near getting this deal done.

    Although this is a blow, it can also be used to set up the side for a long time. We managed ok without Hogan while he was injured. The cap space freed up by his departure would allow us to go after someone like Gaff as well as May and still have room left over as well as a high pick(s) in a potential super draft. This could be a good thing for our overall list.

    That's one of the more brutal posts I can remember reading.

    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!

    I think we have shown in the last few years that we get the deal done if we are after a certain player. 

    We all thought we paid overs for Melksham and also to a smaller degree Hibbo.  I think we can agree they have both been enormous. The two 1st picks for Lever is looking reasonable after finishing 4th also. 

    If we do happen to lose Hogan and get May in I think this makes us stronger now and is worth it for mine.  I think Freo will throw in a little sweetener also. 

    2019 flag favs!

    • 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.
