    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.

    And to the poster that said Freo were not interested in Hogan phhht!

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
