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!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
