The feeling this thread is giving me is like the effects of a real strong mull cookie that you want it to stop but it just keeps getting worse.

 

I've found that staying reasonably bent throughout has kept it pretty level

     Don't know sue but there is something missing in the story.

    The MFC seems too methodical and calm from day 1. Almost like they started the trade for reasons of their own.

    We didn’t shop him around OldDee. But it does take two to tango. 

    Freo clearly came banging on our door hard with promises of gold, silver, frankincense and myrrh this time, so we’ve let them inside the security grille to cast an eye over their wares.

    I believe that’s all that’s happened here. Two willing traders, yes. But Freo definitely initiated it.

    There's a propensity on here (and elsewhere) to denigrate every journo who utters something that supporters don't like.

    It's very childish.

    And even the most clueless journo knows more than just about every individual who posts here.

    Tom Browne doesn’t strike me as your typical Rhodes Scholar. I could easily see a crafty little bugga like Peter Bell feeding him disinformation. And him swallowing it.

    Tom Browne saying Hogan will leave this year or next. Not sure I want him in the team when he has one leg back in WA.

    MELBOURNE want pick 5 and a future first round pick from FREO

    Tom Browne you fool.

    if we let hogan go for a first and 2nd rounder then i think it takes away all of Mahoneys good work in the past. he has a history of over spending. 

    God people talk rubbish.  What has he over spent on? 

    Melksham and Hibberd are absolute steals based on output. 

    Lever cost pick 10 and 14 and is a year younger than Hogan and just as much upside.  

    If we get 5 and and a mid- late 1st rd or early 2nd rd, then this is equivalent to what we paid for Lever.  People are living in fantasy land if they think we will get picks 4 and 5 for Hogan.

    “Wingard to either Hawks or Bulldogs.”

    What a genius. This rumour has only been around what, a month?

    Someone get Tommy Browne a Walkley, stat!

    Freo about to show the AFL they can’t get the deals done for the big name players.

    Freo know they can’t afford to let this opportunity to sign hogan slip because they may not get another one. They also need to sign a big fish to stop members from jumping ship and lobb doesn’t cut it. 

    They will buckle if we hold our nerve. They want hogan more than they want their 2 picks. No doubt in my mind.

    My thoughts of a fair deal would be Pick 5 plus a mid first rounder (around the ballpark of 10) for Hogan plus perhaps a mid-late second round pick. 

    I want us to trade aggressively with Jesse and not undercut, of our current crop he’s the first of our big names to potentially move on. We can’t end up on the losing side of this one, least of all to Freo.

    Freo didn't come to our door. They went to Jesse's.

    Big difference. Thing is WE own that door.

    But curiosity is we've thrown it open and they've gone into hiding.

    A lot about this makes no sense....if you accept the often trotted out scenario. So obviously very little is what it looks like.

    Here’s the reason for the hold up. Basically Peter Bell has dug heels in over Lachie Neale. 

    This impasse has the potential to bog every other club down in the mud until the final day of trade week.

    Mahoney might have to consider issuing Freo a deadline. Monday 5pm or all Hogan talks end and the player remains a Demon.

    Looking increasingly like Bell needs to have some proper heat placed on him.

    The only reason, nothing from the Lions about it either.

    I’m not seeing how that makes a difference B’bub? Whether they called Hogan or us first seems immaterial, at the end of the day they have to deal with us.

    Jay Clark reporting he’s past his medical/freo are satisfied with the state of his foot. It’s not just down to finding a trade 

    dees won’t budge on 2 first rounders. Nor should they.

    People certainly do talk rubbish. Hogan far more valuable unit than Lever.

    Better news from Clark and Warner.

    5 and 16 would do me. 5 and 21 would as well really.

    I'll even give Brisbane a 3rd rounder to send to Freo to move the Neale deal along!

    • 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?
