    I heard a rumour Jesse has flown to Bali to get his foot amputated, what's a fair trade if this is the case?

    I heard a rumour that the reason there's radio silence from Jesse and his management team, is that they all died in a series of tragic stingray accidents. And we have to give two first rounders and Gus to the Dockers!

    Oh, that would be the most Melbourne thing ever! Can anyone confirm?

    Inflationary speculation must be allowed to occur.

    Pass the spliff. You're hogging it by the sounds of it.

    Oh my god. Now I'm really worried. Are we going to be able to field a team next year?

    I wonder if this could all go pear shaped.

    Not as if it's going swimmingly right at this moment

    In my mind it's becoming more clear that Melbourne has pushed for a trade (now), Freo holding the cards, we're nearing the point of no return - when it's publicly stated that Hogan prefers to leave

    At that point, it's take Freo's offer or a 12 month circus

    I could always pretend I have inside intel I suppose but I'd rather have a laugh at this stage, it'll all come out soon enough. Bit of a fizzer this trade period tbh, besides May, we are not even linked with any other players bar KK?

    I was carrying on with the lyrics mate - as apt as they are. :D

    Take 5 years or leave now is what I have been told.

    Player manager telling him to do neither.

    See this is where it depends where you're coming from, or indeed, wishing to go 

    This might be a very clever move by the club.

    I don't suppose many might see where I'm coming from in saying that.

    What a circus this year has brought ;)

    It’s interesting isn’t it. All these rumours of these potential long term issues only come up when freo are trying to negotiate down the trade value. His foot or any other issues didn’t stop us wanting to lock him up long term or freo offering him big $$ to come home or then Getting him to come do a 4 hour tour. I just think the dockers are leaking little rumours to the press to try and knock his trade value down. And I hope the club sees through it. 

    I think some of these rumours may hold some truth but if they were legitimate it wouldn’t have gotten this far. The dockers wouldn’t make the offer without doing due diligence on all aspects of jesses situation

    Not much of a player manager if that is the case. He will have to decide to move this year or next if he doesn't want to re-sign for a long term deal.

    There is no point dragging it out, we will just be here next year doing the same thing again if he doesn't move on this year. WCE may have a better hand next year as well. We will demand the same deal next year as we are now so there is nothing to be gained in waiting it out for Freo or Hogan. In fact Hogan has something to gain by moving as he will get a pay rise. 

    Personally I think whats playing out in the media is a bit of a charade. A deal is probably close to being agreed and they are waiting on the Neale deal to go through for picks to be freed up. Meanwhile Freo will beat their chests demanding more for Neale and drag it out until they get more out of Brisbane. So we wait.

    I know he's a local lad, but be interesting to see how he goes in the fishbowl of Freo, as their great white hope. Used to often run into Pav and others when I lived there (10 years ago now) but then they hadn't shifted to Cockburn. [censored], has Jesse realised he'd have to go to Cockburn every second day?

    Not here. Morning in the Twerp, greatest city in Belgium and where Frenzal Rhomb played a bloody great little gig last night

    This is not a shot at you Patches, as I believe this is probably likely, but what does a club have to gain by talking down a player's trade value publicly?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
