    I can see freo fans using this to argue unders on Jesse, like the dolts last year who thought it justified us paying unders for (or not recruiting) Lever

    Good luck to them on that! We set the price, they come to the party or we tell them to bugger off.

    Do we tell Gaff to bugger off as Jesse's cap space is unavailable for 1 more year too?

    He was 1 vote behind Lewis in 11th, after missing the last few games.

    Churlish.

    He finished 6th in votes per game out of players with more than 10 games.

    In the Sun to day they have done a comparison with the leading key forwards and Jesse leads all but one stat.

    We are talking about a 23 year old future champion of the game and to ask for less than the absolute maximum in return is a joke.

    I trust the FD to get a good deal, but to those on here or in the media to suggest he is not absolute top trade price is another joke.

    I have warmed to May and KK would be handy for us, so lets see how we go next week.

    Mahoney and Co have shown themselves capable of getting deals done and our list is getting there. 

    But back to the main point. Those talking Jesse down because of a flaw in his game, are not giving his positives due recognition.

    Jesse is a super talent and could rise to champion status if he puts in the effort and he has luck with injuries from now on so we need to extract maximum compo from the club he goes to, most likely the Dockers.

    Totally agree and he’s still contracted and the dockers want him desperately. 

    If they are willing to offer him 1.2 mil a year they will have a hard time explaining why they shouldn’t cough up #5 & #6 for him and both parties walk away with what they want

    Like your avatar, you speak in riddles and seemingly struggle with communicating a narrative. (And like your avatar sake are consistently negative).

    On one hand you talk Hogan down and basically say he is overrated. On the other you say we'll get to first rounders. Do you think clubs are in the habit of paying top price for average players?

    lol! im talking about what i think will happen. I'd take a straight swap for may and hogan but i don't think the club will. i'd actually be happy going to the draft with the picks we get too.

    I can understand he may want to return to WA to be near his Mum, but he’s been here for several years now and surely most of his friends are Melbourne-based. Why would he want to go to a team that’s on the bottom rungs of the ladder (apart from $)? Most players who have retired and look back on their careers, when interviewed say that they would rather have been in a successful team than have earned more dollars. Also, maybe Melbourne can offer a few more $ as well?

    If he stays it may explain why we asked the AFL for permission to trade next years 1st round pick, which goes some of the way towards potentially getting May and KK.

    GREAT NEWS - thanks for sharing.

    Our 2019 premiership winning team will look fantastic with Hogan in it.

    I learnt very little from the BnF last night. No loose lips from any player.

    what I did learn is that Gawny reads demonland and has @Demonland4276 in his gun hahha 

    hi Max xx

    I am not worried about Max.

     

    It’s his mother I fear!

    And yet you've said you'd be happy to do a straight swap with May who also didn't finish in the top 10, and before you say it's because he only played 17 games, Martin and Thompson both finished top 10 for them and both played the same or less games than May. Whereas all the Melbourne top 10 played more games than Jesse.

    Did you change your name to Demonland4276 literally after Max said what he said at the BnF?

    Melbourne may be making freo sweat to ensure we get pick 5 & 6

    Isnt that basically what was said from the start?  We are happy to keep him unless something is put in front of us that we absolutely couldnt refuse?

    Narrative has morphed since into this going down like a regular trade, fears of getting low balled.. etc

    Mother of all offers thanks Freo, or GTFO

    Really? Seems odd they would do it today and not at BnF or earlier when it was brought up? This is what I mean by not trusting what anyone says!

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?
