    If the deal on the table for Hogan was pick 5 & Brad Hill ... would you take it?

    Send pick 5 and Frost to the Suns for May and Kolodjashnij.

    2019 R1 Side:

    Jetta May OMac

    Salem Lever Hibberd 

    Hill Oliver Kolodjashnij 

    Petracca Weideman Jones 

    Spargo TMac Melksham

    Gawn Brayshaw Viney

    Harmes Lewis ANB Hannan

    To me this is would be a significant improvement on the 2018 version of Melbourne. Shore up the defence with May while adding some class run, carry and delivery on the outside of midfield. We’ve got the grunt covered. Now’s the time to add a bit of polish. 

    Be very happy if we emerged from trade week with an outcome like this. Pretty much all depends on what Hogan does of course.

     

    Would definitely want more than Hill. I want 2 picks 1 for May and Kolodjashnij and 1 for Max King.

    Not sure what you’re trying to say here...

    None of the developments were anything to do with a public announcement and wouldn’t have been picked up by the media immediately.

    It appears others have confirmed bits & pieces, but the fact remains that my source is impeccable. I don’t push for details though, cos I’d prefer the well doesn’t run dry.

    Oh, I get it now... these major developments are happening, yet whilst you are aware of 'said' major developments as a third party, you are unwilling to obtain more information, but more than happy to let others know that you have some sort of information, that something, somewhere is occurring, at some stage.

    I wasn't expecting a media release, but assumed you would be posting, and was frothing for it...

    I particularly like this verification:

    The guy who runs my sandwich shop is mates with Boomer Harvey who happened to be there yesterday.  As I was leaving with my chicken and avo sandwich yesterday we got talking footy as we often do and I mentioned that it looked like Jessie was leaving.  Sam checked with Boomer who agreed that that was what he had heard.....take it to the bank and put it on dark rye!

    This is all happened!

    Brad Hill left hawthorn to go home to WA, why would he come back to Melbourne?? we can't just take any player we like, only originally from VIC pose realistic options i.e. brayshaw or cerra

    I get that and it’s probably a long shot. However there were stories coming out of Perth during the year that he was/is unhappy playing under Ross Lyon. Lyon himself even came out publically to try and quash the rumours. 

    It never hurts to discretely ask the question. Never say never. Things change.

    Nah...' @Mach5' mail is usually pretty good...

    He doesn't play that game.

    If he can't say more then that's fair enough by me.

    You lose a good source if you burn them.

    We get some great info on here if you know who to look for and on what subjects.

    This is not your ordinary trade period, this is one we will definitely all look back on in years to come.

    Yeah it’s definitely shaping to be the biggest trade period for a few years.

    Peter Bell tookover as footy boss at Fremantle a day or so ago. I’ve heard he’s desperate to keep Neale where the previous administration were willing to let him go to Brisbane for their first round pick in return. The first round pick from Brisbane and their own first round pick were going to be offered to Melbourne for Hogan. I wouldn’t expect to hear anything re Hogan until we know what Neale is doing. #ETthetradewhisperer.

    He’s the same poster who had a crack at me in April for defending myself with info regarding the club attempting to trade Hogan last year and it not sitting well with him...

    What a hero.

    Ah, you're one of those. 

    Do you have proof the club did that, or just piggy backing off these rumours as if they make yours more valid?

    I passed on the info...you chose not to believe it. Not much more I can do Wiseblood.

    Edit: I don’t blame you for not believing it either....I mean who the [censored] am I (on an Internet forum). I was just passing on what I was told, from the mouth of a current player at the time..

    Christ some of you people are insufferable.

    I merely wanted to give an indication that things are actually moving along, that this isn’t all just media speculation, meetings are happening and serious decisions are being made - i.e. this isn’t the Chris Judd saga where our name is thrown in there to add more interest, or one adventurous journo joined the dots based on little evidence, then the rest jumped onto a rumour to fill column inches.

    But I’m not going to spill all the beans. You’ll find out when you find out.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
