    Pretty sure it all hangs on the Lachie Neale deal. Holding everything up.

    Hogan won’t declare he is leaving in case the deal falls through and he ends up at Melbourne for another year.

    No one really declaring anything are they. ....and yet they are.

    Fun and games...all part of the show

    I'm pretty sure this is close to the truth. I doubt we will publicly hear anything in regards to Hogan's intentions until a deal is struck for Neale and perhaps even until something is official between Melbourne and Freo.

    I think I’ll need compo from the club for an injured finger, it’s so sore from scrolling through all of this.

    This has derailed our attempt to get Steve May.

     

    Club are extremely frustrated with Jesse - they have gone ahead to negotiate with Freo.


    Seems as though for the first time in a while we are going to be involved in the deal that holds up the whole workings of others.

    Are you suggesting Hogan can't make a decision as to whether he stays or accepts the offer from Fremantle ? 

    Why would they go ahead and negotiate with Fremantle if they don't even know what his preference / willingness to leave is?

    That makes no sense to me - I think its far more likely that Fremantle and MFC  are bickering on what picks they receive for Hogan /Neale etc. 

    This is like most trade periods where there is so much talk and speculation with precious little happening until the 11th hour when everyone has to either [censored] or get off the pot

    Dammit @Demonland - you’re the official poster of official press releases and every time I see you have posted on this thread - I get excited, only to be let down (just like Dom Tyson’s kicking skills...)

    Agreed but I don't think we'll hear anything about Jesse prior to a deal in case the deal falls over. A bit of face saving for all involved.

    The longer it drags on the less face there is to save I suspect which is unfortunate

    Personally I was looking forward to him sticking around and hoping the FD would experiment with him at CHB assuming TMac and the Weed are up and about

    I don't think it has anything to do with Hogan at this point. Freo and the MFC are running the game at present.

    Correct OldDee.

    Anyone fretting over Hogan not yet nominating Freo or “making a decision” need to understand that no such announcement will be made until the two clubs agree on a deal. 

    There is still a small outside chance he stays in red and blue. He’s contracted. It’s really out of his hands at this point.

    I reckon we’re going to push for Freo’s pick 5 and 2019 first rounder while they will be pushing pick 5 & 14 this year. Let’s see who blinks first. There is a heap of pressure on them now to get this deal over the line. Missing out on Jesse would be calamitous for them.

    Just wait it out Dees.

    Yep then Jesse can say

    "I was always happy to stay at Melbourne, I love the city and the Club for standing by me during some difficult times" or

    "its been a difficult few years for me and coming back home with the chance of a new start can only be a good thing"

    If the only reason we are considering a trade for Hogan is to secure May I think there is a real limit to how long each side  can wait it out for

    Looking forward to May on Hogan at the G next year.

    I'm over Hogan. I just want to see him gone and see Weideman have a crack. At least Weideman has stood up in a final :)

    No we can’t think like that. You have to be prepared to walk away from the table and say “no problem Jesse plays FF for us next year” ... “we think we can win the flag with him.”

    “Pay the price or miss out. The Eagles have already made enquiries for next year.”

    ”May yeah we’re keen on him but not the end of the world if we miss there.”

    No limit on us. But the clock is definitely on them. Tick, tock, tick, tock.

    Melbourne have asked Hogan to either leave now or re-sign with us for a longer period.

    His manager is telling him to hold out for a better deal next year.

    Hogan is torn.

    They've got nothing else to offer us otherwise, going to be a long week for all Demon heads.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
