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.

    It has been described as the true free agency

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
