    There's a fair chance the Hogan trade, if it comes to fruition, won't happen until the very end.  This thread will hit 300 pages before it does.

    This thread is the new internet sensation, we could have half a million views by the time we get to 300 pages.

    But as others have stated it is about ensuring the trade period is a positive gain overall. This will be a huge deal but with one eye on the end game this deal is not the be all and end all. It plays a large part in ensuring we get what we want to move on the players/picks we want coming in. No point delaying this deal to the end and achieving nothing

    its actually much more than about players. 

    Its about showing all inside the Dees, and also outside this club, that the NEW Mfc actually has grown some [censored].  And WILL NOT be pushed about any longer

    I cannot understand the desire for May. We have tallish defenders at Casey in Petty and Keilty who may be able to play a similar role as May. Also lever will be back which will make our defence much stronger. If we are to lose Hogan then picks 4 & 5 ( not 9 and 10 ) should go on the 2 best vic kids in the draft. Personally if we don't get 4 and 5 he plays another year with us.

    They will be at least 2Yrs, before they are September ready.

    We will have to disagree. It is about the list being better next year than it was this year. That is the only outcome that matters. Proving you are tough in trade week doesn’t win you premierships.

    BTW I know plenty of tough females

    No, it isn't...   it is all about walking taller as Melbourne.  collectively. Its about building the club.  your thinking purely like an mcc thinker.

    Walking taller is all about mental attitude, and becoming winners.  as a CLUB. 

     

    The building the team is the structure that aids the Club to win.   It is how we present as a club that gains respect on and off the field.

     

    We as a Club... have been an impotent-club for too many decades since the 60's, to want to remember...

    We are going to be Male about winning... no more squatting to P for this club.

    What a bizarre analogy?

    As I said we will have to agree to disagree. For me it is about winning premierships not trade week.

    Remember who was touted as the big winners of trade week last year - Port and Essendon. How’d that work out?

    I’m not trying to rattle you mate. I don’t mind the abrasive nature of some of your posts as it just adds another layer of difference to this forum which can at times become a merry go round as evidenced by this thread. 

    But, there is a thing called hypocrisy that you may be familiar with. It exists quite a lot on this forum with some posters potting away at others and throwing barbs that actually add SFA value to the conversation but at the same time thinking they are. I get that you sometimes are fed up with the “hysterical nature” of this site which is your perception and that’s fine. I get bored reading it to be honest but it does seem to be your one wood in a golf bag that only carries a few clubs.

    And by the way, it’s ‘you’re’ not your. 

    Keep posting big fella. 

    I only come on here to have a go at the rubbish some people post.

    ... touted ???   by who, 'TSD' ?   by you?

    I thought Port were silly with they're trading, bringing in soft players.

    The only one I considered was Tommy Rockliff, as another inside type who could add to our rotation, mid and forward.

    Port I thought were ordinary recruiting. 

    I cannot remember what the Bummers did recruiting...  except for Stringer.

     

     

    Speed on its own does not make things good... the player has to have 'go' in them.   see Garlett.

    I think Hogan will stay. Why would he want to give up on a top 4 side?

    Many said they won trade week. My point is you said that you want us to be tough at trade week and many thought that both of those teams were last year.

    All that matters is we improve our list. Don’t get fixated on the one trade. Mahoney and Taylor have proven themselves very astute operators.

    Also one more question - does Hogan have go in him? Sometimes I am unsure

    I didn't think they won anything last year...  I think they went backwards, in the longer list view.

    Sometimes, I am as well 'TSD'.

    He seems moody.   IMO, it holds him back.

    If it’s a deal it should be clear cut, we are still up for some of Jackie’s Port salary for the remainder of 2018 and all of 2019, hopefully we won’t be paying Freo for a whack of Jessie’s contract.

    Mahoney has stated we can’t afford both May and Hogan, it’s either.

    It is what it is.

    If Freo are happy to accept pick 2 for Weller then it's only fair they understand what we want.

    Not at all, I am a progressive.

    But Winning footy is all about caveman ideals.

    The West Coast Eagles didn't think so. 

    This was on their whiteboard on Grand Final day and was their mantra throughout the season.

    Petty is a different type of player, intercept mark, zone off and still very immature in a football sense.

    Keilty is nowhere near the class off May and I think even his brother would agree with this.

    They would not be even close to playing a similar role to May.

    and petty might get a few games next year but is at least 2 years away from any serious form

    Port are Doomed for the next 10 years, all of their trade dealings were rejects from other clubs with no upside.

    The lot of them are all downhill skiers, thats why they were not wanted at their previous clubs. 

    God bless Jeffy but if he aint gonna play and he still has value, ship him over to Port they'll welcome him with open arms.

    Champion data had them rated at the start of the season as 2nd best list in the comp, i couldn't help but laugh.

    No offence to both Jack's, especially Trenners.

    • 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.

      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?
