Looks like he is staying now, based on what Maxy said at the b and f

Has it even started...? 

He was interviewed by Stevo not long ago on 7News and Jones said similar things to what he said when Luke Darcy questioned him. However according to Stevo, Melbourne has said Hogan didn't ask for a trade when he last met with Goody. He's still gawn I reckon.

    I read somewhere that the idea of being traded wasn’t initiated by Hogan but he was open to it. I still think he’s 100% gone.

    Agreed I would be shocked if he was there next year.

    If my memory serves me correctly, yes he did.

    The bottom line is that Tommy probably isn't going to be offered the deal of a lifetime as I suspect Jesse has been offered.  Of course,  we don't know that for sure with T-Mac but it's unlikely.  

    At a guess I reckon Tom would be on 400k-500k per year whilst Jesse is reportedly being offered a long term deal at $1.2Million per year.  Jesse is formally from WA so the deal makes sense given Fremantle's situation & standing.

    From all accounts Jesse has been well looked after at Melbourne & well remunerated so if there is a parting of the ways then it would be hoped that we are more than well compensated.

    He said he fully expects Hogan to be an MFC player next year.

    Here's the report, nothing new but a slightly more careful and rehearsed response from Jonesy compared to Saturday. Maxy similar straight bat below

    Yep, trotting out the club line. Wonder whether the footy department was worried that all of the "we understand his situation" talk was undermining their negotiating position.

    Well, maybe this has been a complete waste of time after all.

    To be honest it's essentially the first we've heard of the "club line" through this entire saga. Gut feel is he's gone but really hoping he's staying.

    One thing's for sure, I'm sick of this being a media story every single off season.

    I can't think of another player so consistently linked with moving back interstate.

    I understand the whole club talk of “he’s a contracted player”, he is a “Melbourne man” etc., but there was something more convincing in Gawn’s statement. To say he expects to see Hoges in red and blue next year is quite strong because if it is true he is homesick, to put expectations on a teammate and friend that is struggling just isn’t in Gawn’s character. I might be overanalysing but I felt like Gawn’s statement was genuine.

    Oh well, it is just a waiting game I guess

    Certainly no other player linked to interstate move every year but Jack Watts’ name was brought up almost every fricken trade period.

    What colour do you get when you mix red and blue?

    Bingo. 

    Sounds like we are going to dig our heels in, do a bit of posturing of our own. Good stuff.

    This thing has the potential to drag on late into trade week if Freo think we’re just going to accept pick 5 and packet of Samboy chips for him.

    Craig Smoker was ok in his debut year, but then went off to Carlton as I recall.  Maybe wanted to be with John Elliott.

    No deal he [Weed] put in his best games in the last month of the season however he is still to prove he is a 22 game player in 2019. 

    The whole list need to prove that - and make that 25 or 26 games thanks.

    So goodbye to all our depth.

    Out: Hogan, Kent, Tyson, Vandenberg, Pedersen, Vince, Bugg

    I'm worried

    Depth smepth. The only player we lose that has any bearing on anything is Hogan, and I’m very optimistic we’ll come out in front on that one.

    Our 2019 list will look better than our 2018 list.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
