Farewell Jesse Hogan

[dazzledavey36 55,994]

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

[olisik 4,060]

Kent and Hogan for 6 and 23.

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

[Clintosaurus 7,936]

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

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[The Chazz 4,077]

Now let's get May, KK and pick 24, for pick 6 and 46.

[Mac7 309]

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.

Just joshin’ guys. Always knew he’d go.

Been fun. Range Rover out!

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

[Guest]

Not flash, but player wanted to go.

Nett gain not great.

[P-man 13,367]

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.

[beelzebub 23,390]

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.

[DemonOX 8,837]

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. 

[Dippy 17]

Fair trade. Said it 2 days agos.

MFC what to improve the list.

Kent hogan out

May kk in 

Thats a win.

Now for the WEEEEEEEEED!

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

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

[Slartibartfast 18,040]

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.

[Lord Travis 10,805]

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

Thanks for your service. Don't let the door hit you on the [censored] on the way out.

[roy11 3,995]

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.
