    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.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
