    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
