Hogan and Lobb will be salivating with the likes of Lachie Neale sticking it down their throat... oh hang on. 

 

I was a fan, but like ProDee I question why any sane, driven player would bail out now. 

Take solace in the fact that Weid has performed in front of back to back 90k crowds. Something Hogan will never experience. 

 

I have already had my meltdown and cannot work out what is going on in Hogans head. I still think this "I am homesick" twist for the playing life of an AFL footballer is ridiculous.

We traded unders for him but if there is something wrong with him then fair enough.

We have 7 senior list vacancies and 7 pics if we need them.  We won't need them if we run with less than 40 players on our list or we take a delisted free agent.

I will update the 'Contracts' thread after pick trading closes in a few days an dwe know a bit more about the length of May, Preuss and Kolodjashnij contracts.

I reckon we might pick up a few delisted players with late picks.

Hoping for an O'Halloran or Duursma (maybe even a Rankine!)

By bringing in 28 as well as 23, maybe we could get our hands on both Xavier's.

Seems we have traded picks 36&46 to Saints for pick 28.

noooo

So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer.

Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

Considering we finished 4th, 23 is not so far off what would have been our first round pick.

Neale wanted to go to lions and was a free agent next year and yet they got a better deal than us, dees caved, we could have got at least he same deal next year. Plus picked up May as a free agent. Maybe then we would have had ammo to target Kelly. We sold the farm to get May 1 year early. Unless we win the flag next year this was a nonsensical trade

This is the new improved "Gill's equalisation" at work, I think.


So my lying eyes were telling the truth?!

Its that damn observable reality again...

Defenders 190cm+

Petty, OMac, Lever, Keilty, Frost, J Smith, May, Kolodjashnij

Forwards 190cm+

Weideman, TMac, T Smith

 

I know that Kolodjashnij is a flanker but I feel like we are now way too top heavy down back, while being too thin up forward. Overall I think we're now further away from a premiership and that we should have got more for Hogan. Hopefully Jason Taylor can find a bargain key forward in the draft.

Put a line through T Smith as he is a VFL player only - I asked the same question in another post I think we are light on for tall forwards too 


23, 28 and 54 for GC Pick 6?

Pretty much equal on points...

1751 for them 1712 for us

Edit:  Just heard we have done a pick trade with the Saints.  I think it was two late picks for an earlier one but will confirm when it comes thru.

Who knows there me still be a player trade to be done...

Has been confirmed LH, it's in the Trade Tracker on AFL website

As an aside, and placed in this thread because it's the most problematic...I haven't had a day at work as unproductive as this one since the day Paul Roos was announced as coach. Damn you Demonland!

Would love us to package 28 and 23 and trade high into the first round

Yes that's clarified things!

Glad the circus that was “will Hogan stay or go” has moved on, was over it and we need all players at the MFC 100% on board in 2019 if we,re going to have a serious tilt at glory. 

Go Demons. 

I would have liked to see him kicking bags for Melbourne for a decade. Now, I wish him all good fortune in his personal life and none at all professionally. May he prosper as the highest paid player in the lowest ranked team.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
