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.

    Haha....the fact there’s a biscuit called Delta Cream. 

    Next there will be Foxtrot Fingers.

    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.

    #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: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
