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.

    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!

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
