Sure itโ€™s not his shifty brother - Ben?

That's what Bell is attempting to do.... unfortunately for him he would never be able to reach

ย 

Both Mahoney & Bell would lose their credibility if they backdown know .. would have no back bone in future trades.. imagine Mahoney accepting pick 11ย

If we roll over without a top 5 pick...Mahoney & the club are as weak as [censored]!

That article is silly. Suggesting that we need to โ€˜soften our stanceโ€™ for it to happen. Freo need to pony up, thatโ€™s the story here.ย

I hope you're not suggesting we employ Ben (aka Bend0ver) as a recruiter. Freo could work with him.

Paywall, can someone breakdown the main points of this article?

Freo areย stalling up toย 6 teams in trade movements;

I would thinkย Adelaide would already haveย a dealย in place with Gold Coast for Pick 5 or possibly Pick 3.

Freo are holding up Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane,ย Adelaide andย possibly West Coast/Geelong.

We wonโ€™t know either way for 12 months. But you canโ€™t use that as an excuse not to give Chicken Nixon a run as your avatar.

Will you be MIA for those 12 months and then be reborn like the phoenix (that could be your next user name)ย  Seems like an unfair bet.

Proposed trade:

Melbourne give Hogan <----> Fremantleย give picks 5 + 23

Melbourne give pick 5 <---->ย Adelaide give pick 13ย 

GC give pick 19 <--->ย Adelaide give pick 8ย 

GC give Steven May <------> Melbourne give pick 23ย 

Fremantle

Get: Hogan

Give: Picks 5 + 23

Melbourne

Get: May, Pick 13.

Give: Hogan

Adelaideย 

Get: Picks 5 + 19

Give: Picks 8 + 13

GC

Get: Picks 8 + 23

Give: May + 19


Thoughts on this trade?

A lot of posts here suggest that we want to trade Hogan more than Fremantle want to recruit him. Nonsense! As such they pay OUR price or miss out. We shouldn't bend over to help them. They won't let Neale go to Brisbane for peanuts!

The other point that intrigues me is that many posters believe that selling Hogan means getting May. Is this guaranteed? I would think not. Conceivably we could go into 2019 without Hogan and also without May.

Imagine the furore if that happened.

What's that old saying ............ 'A bird in the hand .....'

They really are playing stupid buggers.

Just because they suckered GC with the Lachie1 (Weller) trade last year, and Lachie2 (Neale) is a better player, they think they should get more for Lachie2 than Lachie1. Sorry, it's a case of GC paid way overs and you got lucky; not a case of Brisbane offering unders.ย Grow up and do the Lachie2 trade for fair value (pick 5) and everything else goes through. If you keep inflating the value of your second hand Toyota while down-valuing the other guys second hand Mercedes, everyone will just think that you are not worth dealing with.

If this trade goes ahead I wud like to keep pick 5 to use on Smith. I know all the talk isย the back line but with lever coming back and our midfield being a year older and better I feel the back line is set Smith adds that outside run should take tysons roll from day oneย 

you want 3 smiths in the team?

How many flags did GC win with SOG. How many Sydney with Buddy. How many Carlton with Judd.

The answer " what is your emergency "

Esprit se corps. All for One ...one for all. And all those looking over your shoulder for that promised pallet of paper bags at next season's end ....bugger off.

All those without the ticker to play 4 qtrs without sooking....join them.

Playing footy at 100% isn't for everyone. I get it.

All about the wave...

definitely, but that's speculative picks for you

Yes, but please state the nature of the source in the first place.ย  ย  Admittedly anyone can make up an unnamed source, but at at least it's something - at least it's an indication that the poster is not just stating his own hunch.

Anyone can make up "a source at the club", a "mate who spoke with the player", a "cousin of his manager" or whatever.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonโ€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyโ€™s three matches and, with Melbourneโ€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekโ€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardโ€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnโ€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamโ€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneโ€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.ย There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.ย Since that game, the Demonsโ€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyโ€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the โ€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayโ€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
