Hoges as a defender?

Pert's feet are barely under the desk and match committee is already leaking

Come on, this is one of those rumors that started on demonland 30+ pages ago and has been picked up by the media. 

It could be true, but it isn't a direct to media leak because it was first reported here Friday.

    Suggestion in Hs that if hogan stays , he plays in defence

    Gary Lyon and Paul Roos both said this during the finals when Weideman was on fire.

    https://www.theurbanlist.com/melbourne/a-list/we-rank-all-the-biscuits-worth-ranking

    An article well worth a read ... an interesting diversion from the drivel (not dribble!!) in this thread !! 

    That list is trumped up garbage and the author should be ashamed of themselves. Tim Tams are so overrated. Great to see in 2018 we still fall for stupid marketing ploys and when was the last time you had Tim tams with your coffee for god’s sake? Oreos can stick it as well.

    Honestly Anzacs and Mint Slice are probably the first good ones on the list, Tee Vee snacks aren’t bad but when I’m on my deathbed it’s safe to say with my last ounce of breath I won’t be uttering the line “I wish I had more Tee Vee snacks”.

    Milk arrowroots, found in just about every council office tea room and visitors hall don’t feature until #30? And Scotch Finger my word! Fallen to #18 in the ‘Biscuit Draft’. If my scout/biscuit shopper went into a supermarket and chose Scotch Finger after 17 other biscuits they would be fired. 

    I like to keep the peace on here but forget it. I’m ready to fight anyone on this, just try me.

    So you really believe JH being videoed in Freo would have any effect on the MFC recruitment team.  What a laugh.   Looks more like some supporters are too easily spooked.

    Sue ... if you don’t think AFL clubs are capable of all manner of shenanigans when it comes to recruiting and poaching players you’re a tad in the naive column.

    Didn't we come out and say we would have taken 5 & 23 had Freo not pulled the pin on Friday? If Negotiations resume I can't see us now demanding 5 & 14 (as much as us supporters would love that).

    I'm not sure it was a smart idea for us to make that 5&23 claim in response to Bell's public tantrum. We probably did it to look like the sane and reasonable ones but it now might have damaged our position by showing our hand. 

    14/23 is an immaterial difference anyway. It’s the same outcome: the ability to get May, and a draft pick in the range that gives us a reasonable chance to draft a good player. The chance of getting a good player does not reduce very much at all between 14 and 23.

    If the other pick was to be involved in an on-trade anyway, then it makes no difference at all if it was 14 or 23.

    This thread has brought back memories of the arnotts family all sorts except that the tic tocs were always gone by the time I got there.

    Could this be the cause of my extreme MFCSS?

    Exactly. If the club was hellbent on getting rid of a damaged player the MFC would have accepted pick 11

    it didn’t happen. 

    Pick 11 doesn’t get us May. Pointless to accept it.

    Freo knew that of course.

    They may engage in shenanigans but are you so naive as to think that would affect a pro team of opponents?

    Not pointless to accept it if we are as desperate to get rid of hogan as you have been saying.  You want it both ways.

    But you are saying the MFC are pushing him out the door ? 

    i am saying this is not the case. The deal must be A Grade or its off

    Yes, but you’re the one who keeps carping on about how his position is untenable now. If that’s true then it’s irrelevant whether what we get in return helps get May or not. 

    You’ve been out-logicked(?) by WYL.

    FFS ... it was listed #13 !!!

    #13 ICED VOVO

    How exactly the pink fondant stays creamy and smooth in the packet is still a mystery. Either way, this icing, jam and coconut combo has our tastebuds singing.

    No-one from Melbourne officially said anything. Damian Barrett reported on trade radio  that he had heard Melbourne would’ve accepted 5 & 23. No source given.

    • 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.
