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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
