    Too many players in limbo:  Neale, Hogan, May, KK and possibly Beames (Lions won't let him go if they don't get Neale).

    Freo causing quite a log jam so something needs to happen soon. 

    Anyone ready to guess when the AFL will get involved and kick Freo into gear or call in the mediators for the Neale and Hogan trades. 

    why would they get involved @Lucifer's Hero... noise about the slowness of tradeweek is still good noise for the afl.

    Melbourne isn't really looking to keep Hogan. We could just as easily suggested he just play out next year etc. But no he's on the trade table. Discussion about the "price" is part of the game, not so much a "fight" in the sense of "hands off our Jesse" 

    Chicken or the egg? Is Jesse shopping around or are we shopping him around?

    There’s an important distinction between being open to trading Hogan and being desperate to trade him.

    Let’s hope Hoges is annoyed at Freo not showing him or the club much respect and he signs on with us next year.  

    A trade is look less and less likely. The Lobb deal hasn’t even been done let alone the Neake deal

    I get that it is good theatre for the AFL but with so many impasses caused by Freo the AFL can't stand by and let the futures of these guys be stuck in limbo.

    Freo is all over the shop: want overs for Neale, give unders for Hogan, offer pick 11 to us, then Geelong, now GWS.  Laughing stock.

    Mediation can take time so if Neale trade isn't done by noon tomorrow (and dominoes start falling) the AFL will need to do something to unblock the log jam.

    It appears to be an open marriage

    But in my experience, it rarely works, as one side or the other feels jilted and cheated.

    However, sometimes it allows each side to see that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.

    And when they munch on that green grass it can be downright disappointing.

    Not saying that this is related to Jesse, but there's more than one way to ingest green grass, Hem.

    It's been strangely quiet today considering deadline is just over 48 hours away.

    God only knows how they've been able to fill the time on trade radio.

    What if Freo trades Neale in the last hour and offers MFC pick 5 and 11 for Hogan. MFC says that's OK and

     

    Jessie says no I have changed my mind.

    The AFL Brand  taking a bit of a hit at the hand of the Dockers.

    Do they step in, review the guidelines or ‘advise Freo’ that it might work best for them if they get their ship together.

    SEN has been awful since crocmedia took over. This last week has been at a whole new level. Diabolical.

    It's probably another annual leave day...ie/ a long weekend. Andrew's good at recreating those.

    think i might need to rewatch the geelong elimination final x3 to get through tomorrows snooozefest.

    Watched it yesterday and got so rapt up in the chaos footy again I just had to watch the Whorethorn match as well. Vodka/tonic took a hit and the neighbours very understanding with the noise level.

    What do you mean put up no fight to keep him? Fremantle made an offer and it was rejected. What would you call that?

    This idea that the club is desperate to rid themselves of Hogan doesn’t seem based on anything but hearsay. Although I understand it fits a (predictably) negative narrative.

    The club has stated quite clearly that this has move been driven by Jesse himself.

    Would you expect them to say we want him out  because.........

    I don't think so that would total undo their negotiating position. 

    Of course we want him in 2019 right up until point Freo meets our demands.

    Is it really possible that all this could be done at the very last minute on Wednesday?

    Or not?

      It’s Game Day, and 205 days have passed since the final siren sounded at the MCG, bringing Melbourne’s 2025 season to a close and marking the end of an era. In just a few hours, a new chapter begins for the Demons. What are you most hoping to see from Melbourne today?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
