RGRS hook, line and sinker.

Comprehension not your forte?

It doesn't sit well though

I didn't always think this, but seemingly it was always going to happen.

I'm happy to draw the curtain this year and move on.

Any chance the Dees will get pick 5, and then instead of giving it to the Suns, trade it up to a higher pick? Say, 1, 2, 3 or 4, similar to what we did with (I think) Oliver and Weid?

I don't think we'd need to it's not like other drafts where there's only 2-3 great players. There are 7 amazing players in this draft.

Think you may find, the GC have ample picks this year at the top of the order and are looking to try and bank picks for next year when they will have the start of a number of elite academy players start to come through. While they May still want Pick 5 for May (lots of May's), they will then look to either turn this into picks next year or look for a group of Future picks instead of taking pick 5 into next years draft to lift the points they have available for academy players. How they do that remains to be seen, but one thing I can guarantee is they want picks next year! Apparently their Academy squad at junior levels is pretty darn good, coming from far more informed sources than I on the subject of scouting and recruiting.

Thanks. No idea what or how they'll use it,only it's the OVERPAYMENT for May. Other players picks etc bound to be part of the change coming back.Theyre just my thoughts of course.

I made a general warning to all posters re: antagonizing, baiting, trolling etc. I gave you a private "friendly" warning regarding this. Consider this a public still friendly-but-cooling-a-la-Fremantle-to-Jesse-Hogan-in-your-humble-opinion warning.

I got a warning a while back for calling Saty "Scoota"

This is only going to end one way if this bloke is who everyone suspects. Save you breath and make a call on him now, before the site becomes unreadable again.

Sorry, sir. But Enter the Range Rover started it. Shall I now go stand in the corner?

nice beer Furphy.

My take on Hogan!  If he goes then it is a big loss for MFC.  We recruited an eventual superstar, MFC looked after him, developed him and bent over backwards to accomodate his requests.  These guys do not grow on trees and in my opinion he owes the MFC and supporters.

If he goes, I DO NOT WANT MFC to ever recruit interstate sooks who cannot grow up and live away from home.  This go home factor is out of control and it should be hauled in by the AFL.

As for Hogan maybe he just needs to mature a bit and realise he was given a great opportunity by the MFC and never was invested.  No wishing him well on my part, hope he spends years trudging off the ground as a Fremantle player at the bottom of the ladder, while watching his former teammates play finals.  

Maybe surfing is more important to Jesse than success at a football club.

Please leave 'RR' on until at least the trade period has finished 'Demonland'.

It's going to be priceless to see the reaction if he's proven wrong...

Hope we can do seperate deals 

Hogan, pick 44 and 62 for pick 5, 23, 30

pick 5 for May and pick 29

future 3rd round pick for Kolodjashnij 

Apparently there ain't no deal.

As I said at the start .

Another year, another Hogan hysteria.

You expect players to be loyal but clubs aren't loyal to players. It's 2 sets of standards. As soon as a player is 30 and nearing a fringe player then they're given the boot so let's not pretend that clubs are loyal to players. Clubs are only loyal to good players so Hogan has every right to go and doesn't owe us anything. Same with scully.

The Demons not even mentioned by Cameron despite Mahoney’s previous very public declaration of our interest. 

Clear shift away from Melbourne. Suns open to all viable offers now that the Hogan trade looks dead and buried.

What other viable offers are there? Dogs at 7 the only one but unlikely they'd (Dogs) be willing to do that.

We are not letting him go at 30 yrs old!  Nor Scully!  I do not agree with your view.  Hogan is in his prime and wants out!!

Hogan trade is not dead and buried 


So sounds like we will end up doing the following;

OUT: Hogan, one of picks 46 or 54

IN: May, KK, one of picks 18, 23 or 30

Fingers crossed it's pick 54 out and pick 18 in.

 

This whole trade period has become a farce!! 

Deliberately holding back announcing deals for Foxtel is ludicrous.  Not one deal of significance has gone thru.  Pending:

  • Shiel
  • Wingard
  • Scully
  • Lobb
  • Kelly
  • Beams
  • Neale
  • Hogan
  • May

That is a lot to get done in a few hours.

Wouldn't be surprised if they start filming at Noon to make sure the paperwork is done in time.  Then edit it down to a few hours to make it 'interesting and to look 'live' but delay putting it to air.

Very fishy if you ask me. And who sticks up for the AFL....

I think his point is that loyalty on both ends doesn’t exist as much as it once did. If we are happy to shop players around as pieces of commodities isn’t it fair that the players do the same when they may get the best value for themselves?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
