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.

The overall picture is:

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: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
