    What about the 12 months in between?

    If we happened to snag a flag and Jesse was a major part of that then I would wave goodbye to him at Tullamarine.

    Slight topic diversion, but do we have any rumours of players we might be looking at drafting, trading for or picking up from a delisted club in the event of different situations, Or any personal suggestions on players?

    • Hogan is traded, May comes in. Another 3rd tall forward?
       
    • Hogan stays, May stays, Hold tight for a year? Or another KPD?
       
    • Or if Hogan stays. May signs with another club. Another KPD?

    Unders for mine, but I trust the club.

    Obviously Jesse seems to have checked out, so lets just get the deal done. Bring in May and some young kids.

    Sam E reporting the dees are open to accepting only pick 5 in this trade....

    It needs to be reiterated that 5 and 23 is a BETTER outcome than 10 and 16.

    The first scenario represents a first and a second, while the second scenario is two firsts.

    Don't fall into the trap of thinking it must be two firsts.

    Is there any chance that Rankine kid will be available at pick 5 in the draft?

    That would be disappointing.  

    I don't get too hung up on picks, as it's about outcomes and improving your list based on cards you're dealt, but that would be a poor outcome, imo.

    That said, I didn't hear his comments and only have your interpretation to assess.

    Next to none.

    5 and next years first is totally reasonable for Hogan.

    we should only be taking “unders” if we just won the flag .. which we didn’t.

    The AFL are once again shooting themselves in the foot by purposely holding off on trades going through until their 2 hour TV finale.

    This is how you alienate the fans.

    Not really, @Petraccattack-

    The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy.

     And you and everyone who is raging against the length of the trade period, will not give up your love for the game... you'll just pi$$ and moan about it. :)

    If they traded him for only 5 I would be absolutely baffled and massively disappointed in the club.

    That's his "mail", but it would still surprise me.

    5 and 23 seems fair.

    According to whom?

    Is it Freo saying it or Melbourne? It makes a huge difference.

    Under for me but I would be a lot more accepting of it given Jason Taylor’s track record. I also feel like that would kind of equate to an equivalent of a middle range 1st rounder so falls inside the range of what we were asking.

    Would be magnificent tbh. Our TMAC/WEID/Hogan forward line becomes ELITE in the Riewold/Lynch, Kennedy/Darling level. Lever & Omac have great years, we capitalize on all close matches unlike last year, and have a full tilt at a premiership from the top 2 with a 3 game MCG pathway in the finals despite defence still being one 'fragile' area of our game. Steven May holds out for one year and we pick him up next year in our quest to go back to back. All areas of our team become A+

    Genuinely love your work overall JD.  But the clear problem with that plan is 3 vs 2 vs 2 tall forwards.  It's one too many for us. 

    Either out Hogan in May OR Hogan stays and plays back (or Weed does.  TMac no longer an option back - that's over)

    Freo will be laughing if all they have to give up is pick 5, especially if they hold out on Neale and get more. I understand the outcome base idea but does that mean we just forget about the investment that we’ve placed in him? Personally I’d rather us hold onto him than take pick 5 (traded onto GC for May). 

    He is higher quality than May and that should bloody well be compensated.

    Agreed ProDee.

    I'm comfortable with 5 and 23 as I think we can make that work for us in some way such as a swap with the Crows.

    Pick 5 by itself is massive unders in my view and would be a fail by Mahoney and Co., even if it nets May & KK.

    There is being pragmatic and then being a pushover and this would be pushover levels. I was comfortable with the Lever deal last year as he is an outstanding talent and two later first round picks are different to a top 5 pick, but it is important we get fair valu for a player of Hogan's talent.

    Wouldn't be surprised if that pick 5 goes directly to Adelaide for their pick 8 and 13. We then pass on pick 8 to Suns and go to the draft with pick 13. That would be a good result.

    And by the way that would be two first rounders.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
