I’ll wish Hogan well in all aspects of life outside football - but once he crosses the white line I hope he crashes and burns.

    Two first round pick, one of which goes to GC for May and I'd imagine KK.  No way May would be worth a top 10 pick by himself.  Darcy wouldn't go with it if he had any doubt and Jones certainly wasn't refuting it.

    Just throwing it around. I have no idea

    Then  why post it as the latest news.

    I actually find those type of posts where people make something up as something they have heard, or fact, among the worst on DL.

    Looking forward to some humble pie serving if this actually happens. There were some really arrogant dismissals and personal attacks early on in this thread when someone dared to entertain trading Hogan. 

    I suspect the worst offenders wont have the agates to admit they got it wrong if it comes about.

    You know who you are.

    If those picks are 9 and 10 from Port then that's disappointing. One of them needs to be pick 4 or 5 at least

    Seriously I am so sick of this “he is going he is staying” every single year since he’s been at Melbourne. Doesn’t feel like he has ever really committed to the club. If he wants to go home, we will be ok and I wish him all the very best. 

    Lets get maximum value for him and move on from this conjecture every season.

    Hopefully we’re selling him at the right time with he foot issues. 

    Better still hopefully the foot issues prevent him from reaching his potential.

    One thing we can probably all agree on is that JH never really got a clear run at it, without something going on, be it family, his health and injuries.

    If he does get a clear run at it for the next 5-6 years, it is scary how good he could be.

    If anyone thinks we shouldn't be asking for the absolute most for him, you are seriously undervaluing his potential.

    Jones talked about Hogan and a "fresh start" and doing what "is best for family, friends and his own performance".  Anyone else get the sense from Jones' comments there may be more to it than just the go home factor?

    Enough respected posters on here have virtually said he is gone.  That little dialogue from Jones confirms it for mine. 

     

    While the club isn't saying anything, giving Lever and Jones the ok to say things like they "will support Jesse's decision, whatever he decides" is the club's way of preparing supporters for the departure of a fan favourite, as it is bound to upset many.

    I think the Stephen May part of the equation is a little overlooked. I think he has been a ripper Full back and his best is in front of him. Brian lake switched to the Hawks much later in his career and won a Norm Smith.

    Well that’s really turned Grand Final day into a real downer

    It's Colonwood v Boo Factory.

    Already a lose/lose proposition.

     

    Will all be forgotten if we turn the Hogan compo into the missing pieces of a Premiership puzzle.

    Thought Jones handled himself quite well. Between a rock and a hard place as to how to answer that but he played a deft bat imho.

    Really...what else was he going to say.

    Well done Chunk.

    Agree. I don’t want to keep him if his heart is not in it. We have seen how that’s turned out in the past.

    I’m nervous that Mahoney and Co are not going to drive a hard bargain. 

    If we lose Hogan for May and chump change that will be a seriously disappointing outcome. 

    It must be May and either a very good pick or a very good starting 22 player. 

    I want May but no way is he of equal value to Hogan, not to mention the fact that we have the whip hand over Fremantle in this exchange. They need the player more than we need to give him.

    Like many Demon supporters I will be watching on with keen critical interest as to how shrewdly we negotiate this. We traditionally have not been renowned for coming out on the winning side of trade table deals. A few yes but more often than not we’ve been the ones picking up the dropped soap in the prison shower.

    I hope those days are over.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
