    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
