    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.

    • 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.
