Seriously how can the Dockers get more for Neale that we do for Hogan FFS

I realise that, but he's got an extensive history of breaking down.

Jesse could go on for the rest of his career injury free, and good luck to him (personally) if he does.  But I have my doubts.

Wouldn't say it's extensive history... but he plays a style of game that is high intensity and high impact, but he will play a different game at the dockers than with us I think. Freo will not want him to roam as far from goal, so maybe that changes!

6 or 11 is relevant given the possibility of the earlier pick being traded into more picks or players than 11 could. Whether that happens is another thing. 

I think discussion is between 11 or 23. 6 is a given.


We are a few minutes away from 10k posts in this thread.

GREAT EFFORT EVERYONE

So how many of the media experts actually got the specifics of that trade correct?

To be fair, they did get the bones right.... They never get the all the facts, they only get tid bits

So his goal returns will fall - as he has to go upfield to get the ball.

If he wants to get a kick at Fremantle he'll have to play at full back.

Yep, they get bits and pieces only, similar to the Hogan trade. We still are no closer to knowing the full deal.


If it's Hogan for 6 and 19 then that's two 1st round picks.  That's what we asked for.  Hard to mount an argument that we have taken significant unders.

It's these bits and pieces that will determine if the Hogan deal is fair or not however!

Depends how their picks work out.  What if they want in two years time, or turn into average players?  What is May and KK are part of a premiership side in the next few seasons?

I'll hold off before saying Freo got 'more' for Neale than we did for Hogan.  Too subjective.

They no longer have 19. It has to be 6 and 23 now.

  • 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?

    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?
