Tyson can still go to North, and we can then ontrade the pick we get for him to help get May, and could include next years first rounder or it might not.

Great minds think alike, typed after i read your post, brilliant [censored] Freo.

    Definitely

    no one will give them pick 1-4 for May which is what they get as compo next year.

    On the other hand they have a disaffected captain who they don't want hanging around the club.

    Their choice

     

    Board the joint up and Give us May for nothing.

    I can’t see Brisbane taking a future first round pick. They may as well retain May for next season, they’ll get more in the same draft with the compo pick they’ll receive for him. 

    I am sure Brisbane would take a future first round pick, especially as he is a GC player.

    I am more than happy to hear nothing from Mahoney. 

    Keep Freo guessing and under pressure 

    He has said everything that needs to be said on the first day, its all up to Freo's mouthpiece Bell to make the next statement.

    North have already rejected that, which if they wanted Tyson would be amazing, as Preuss is an 8 game player, with none this year.

    GC won’t take our pick next year for May. No way they accept it. They will just keep him and get the early compensation pick for losing him as a FA

    We’re constrained with what we can offer without the Hogan trade happening, no doubt. 

    However, that saying of whenever a player elects their club they wish to play for, they usually get their wish. 

    I can only imagine we’re gonna have to cough up a decent player as well as picks.

    Listening to SEN radio re-trade news, W.A.L.O.S  quickly turned it off. Perhaps there should only be a destination AFL club comp next year, we will all be given a long long rest.

    Not sure why we'd panic. Much prefer Hogan on the list over May, even if we play Hogan in defence for the first few weeks of the season, while Lever gets fit.

    This is not a silly idea - it could create another dimension. My mate is asking me, each day from over the fence, '...is Hogan really worth the trouble?' Testing times.

    Sorry yes. I understand free what the different contractual status mean. I also understand restricted and unrestricted.

    What im saying is if freo and hogan are smart then they wait one more year.

    Buddy to swans for pick 18 or whatever the fa compo was is the most likely scenario imo for hogan to move.

    And thats why flogs like mcclure are talking hogan out nd may in. Freo would need something serious to happen from the hogan camp to give up 2 high picks. It makes more sense to wait until next yr when hogans uncontracted.

    Freo and hogan have the power in these negotiations is all im trying to say. The power is with the players 

    I disagree but see where you're coming from. Even next year we'd still be demanding 2 first rounders for him same as Crows with Lever, Blues with Gibbs, GWS with Treloar etc

    The buzzword ATM seems to be "brand". I think JH had seriously damaged his brand.

    If he stays, whether by his choice, or the clubs' inability to reach agreement, I doubt that Demons' supporters will view him in the same light. 

    And if he goes I doubt that many tears will be shed.

    Sad really. The club has bent over backwards to support him.

    I do find the media chatter to be interesting. 

    GC will get pick three in compensation for Lynch is apparently fair and what he's worth.

    Shiel will probably cost the Bombers this year's and next year's first round picks, which they think is a bargain for the Bombers. 

    Melbourne are asking two first round picks for Hogan, we're dreaming, no way he's worth that, dodgy foot, attitude issues etc etc. 

    For the record Hogan is two years younger than Lynch and has him covered in almost every statistic, so if Lynch is worth pick three then we're in no way out of line asking more than that.

    I expect the MFC are mentioning those precedents to Freo. Ignore the media chatter.

    Yes the club has developed him, supported him tough times and now the club is onward upward.  His brand is weakened and he frankly is a pain in the backside with this nonsense.  Harden up JH and give back to the club who has nurtured you.  Stop peesing about!!!

    That is ridiculous. For all we know JH has made his position clear and the delays which are causing us to head to the magic 300 (having passed the miraculous 200) have nothing to do with him.

    How has the Hogan camp still said nothing after yet another deadline? 

    The 2018 version of MFC doesn't leak like a sieve - doesn't meant than nothing is bubbling in the background.

    Still, I agree that it is ve.y frustrating for supporters,

    Re Jessie's foot injury. I know one of the professional's at the club who were looking after his foot. Let me put to rest those who think he was faking, he very definitely had a crack in the Navicular bone. The club was grateful that it was early on and not a full fracture requiring surgery. Seriously some of the conjecture and conspiracy theories stated are way out of line.

    Fairly drastic solution, but ok!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
