    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
