Looking forward to May and KK being highly invested in this footy club.. unlike Hogan

 

Kent and Hogan for 6 and 23.

Makes sense to pay overs to bring players in, but contracted players going out? Poor form

If it gets us a flag who gives a [censored]? Sad to Jesse go but business is business.

 

You know it's a good deal when the usual posters are the ones melting down, while the rest see this deal for what it is.  Always comforting.


Still weak at our core.

Look at other teams around us, Collingwood (Beams) Hawthorn (Wingard, Scully)and Richmond (Lynch), all improved their list. There is no way our list has improved from this.

Pretty much as I expected...

Stirred things up a bit and now off into the sunset he goes...

Bye 'RR', can't say it's been fun but it's been

Not flash, but player wanted to go.

Nett gain not great.


If it gets us May, KK and an additional useful player then that's a decent outcome.

Not amazing. Not disastrous. Decent.

I'm partly just glad it's done tbh.

And the world goes on....

and the grass is still green.

Go Dees

Overall I think we did well. Got Hogan off with his big salary who did not want to be in Victoria as well his other issues for a first and second round pick.

That foot - those issues - leads us to new faces and considerable strengthening. Not as bad as the heart feels.

Good work MFC. 

Now to get some players in who WANT to be here. 

Will be interesting to see how many dummy spits Hogan has with the FREO midfield delivering the ball to him.

I’ll back in our footy department everyday after what they’ve been able to achieve over the passed 4 years.

Thye have earned and deserve trust.

Agree.

The war is the premiership.

The battle is the trade period.

A single trade is an engagement.

So long as everything is driving to winning the war the other parts don’t matter in isolation.

Who knows if we have the right strategy. Time will tell.

Gun forwards who kick 50 goals are rare.

 

We have lost a beauty.

 

Good Luck to Jesse....but more importantly Go Dees!

True. And Hogan has never kicked 50 goals in a season.

I wish him well and hope he will be happy in his new home but don't feel particularly disappointed that he's gone. In my view he never really lived up to expectations. Sure, he played some great games, but for various reasons, some outside his control, he was inconsistent and not really embedded as a team player. 

Fair trade. Said it 2 days agos.

MFC what to improve the list.

Kent hogan out

May kk in 

Thats a win.

Not happy but nothing can be done

A contract of any length is no more than a handshake

Sad to lose a gun forward who has 7-8 years of AFL left in him. 

I hope we play the Shockers on the ‘G next year

It really annoys me that people have a go at the disappointed posters.  Hogan is a generational player, he held our aspirational hopes for a long time and we became attached to him.  I can't believe there is anyone not sad to see him go.  Those knocking the disappointed are just jerks.


Average trade. We paid overs for Lever and have let Hogan go for unders. Lucky the list is in such good shape otherwise, as we've proven to be weak at the trade table when the big deals need doing.

You weak piece of crap Mahoney. What happened to two first round picks? Absolutely pathetic yet again from this poser. 

Farewell and all the best, Jesse.

Typical heroic post from you

 

Would have liked a better deal but it is what it is.

We're pushing for the flag, if this chain-reaction helps claim a flag then overs/unders can be ignored.

He's had a rough run, so all the best to Hoges over there, looking forward to a solid Melbourne back-line shutting him out.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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?
