He doesn’t want to be at the Dees mate.

Thats the only reason all this is happening 

I know all that

but he is a contracted player, who can assist the Weid in becoming a better forward for a year. 

I just get the feeling the Weid is still a touch green. 

Just my feelings...

Michael Gleeson reports that the final and biggest piece of the interconnected mega trade is expected to be completed in the next hour.

The essence of the deal is:

  • Jesse Hogan and Melbourne's fourth round pick will move to Fremantle for picks six and 23.
  • Melbourne will trade pick six to the Suns for Steven May, Kade Kolodjashnij and a Suns fourth round pick.

I was going to point out that you were delusional, but I see you already acknowledged it. ?

I hope so?

WTF? why bother with a swap of future 4th round picks 


Whether he goes or stays, I expect this will put a dampner on Vic clubs recruiting young blokes from WA.

FYI all, the official thread count including deleted posts is already at 400. The milestone is already reached. 

Negotiations resume but an argument has broken out over biscuits

Prefer we get a better deal than that

Weid is VERY green, WYL. 

Very promising but only a 20 gamer still growing into his frame.

I think the real problem is paying too much and losing them for too little - that is the real question

I'd be staying away from any draftee from WA or Moggs creek

I don’t think so sue. Cripps is from WA and there’s never been any noise about a return there. Simon Black from WA had a long and fruitful career in Brisbane. The AFL is littered with interstate players who settle in. Furthermore I believe this has been as much driven by the MFC as it was Hogan driven.

Rumour is we get Cerra !

Yes and Opposition Teams will target him hard now on the ground. A year of transition with Hogan would have been an interesting proposition

Dunno about paying too much, but I expect club's would always be losing them for too little.  Almost unavoidable.

I reckon this is one more pick perhaps 20 or a player away from being a good deal. 

If this is it.. I won't be overly happy.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
