So Brisbane traded with GC to get pick 6 and will package that with others for Neale. Is that what's happened here?

    Rumour is we get Cerra !

    I'd be very, very, very surprised if we got Cerra.  I just can't see it happening.  It'll be for picks, nothing more.

    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...

    I see what you've done there...

    This is the oddest time for someone to ask people to calm down. About to trade a former pick 1, generational full forward.

    As an aside, unbelievable trade period for Fremantle.

    Aside from some minor swaps in the late pick they have done:

    Out: Pick 6 and Neale

    In: Hogan, Lobb, Picks 14 and 30

    They also picked up Conca as a free agent.

    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.

    I'm not saying it will stop club's recruiting from WA, just make them very cautious, especially if the player is very young.  As for it being driven by MFC, surely that was only because we knew he would either go home now or next year.

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

    Agreed. 

    I'm glad our current and potentially future elite players in Gawn, T Mac, Oliver, Brayshaw , Harmes, Petracca, Salem and Weideman are VIC blokes.

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

    Maybe Omac could transition forward if May comes. Who knows? He could turn out like his brother.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
