We'll get to 800 over 8 years if Jesse wins a few Colemans :laugh:

For Freo, with Ross Lyon coaching....not much chance.

I do just want to say that unlike nearly all players that leave Melbourne I will have a large soft spot for Hogan.

I think he's definitely wired differently to some, who wouldn't be so concerned being away from family and friends. but he's a hugely talented and smart footballer.

I wish him well.

That pick swap...something afoot you reckon? Got a feeling we're not done.

its a curiosity isnt it..as I wondered in another thread...we have days to complete pick swaps...but only until 8.30 tonight to do another deal for a player.

The trade feels a bit underwhelming but we probably couldn't do much more seeing as Jesse was determined to return to Perth....might as well move on at least we have 2 players who should strengthen the best 22 for 2019

According to Josh Mahoney:

Jesse wanted to go home and his preference was Fremantle. Leave on good terms. If Melbourne played in Perth he'd be playing for us.

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.

 

And as you ridiculous as it may seem to you, this has always existed for some footballers. It may be ridiculous but there is a big enough body of evidence to tell you that it well and truly exists.

"Wanted to leave" is different to wanted to go home, or am I reading too much into this?

Not to wish injury, but wouldn't feel bad if his foot's [censored].

Not a bad outcome; although only time will tell.

Glad it's all over. Time to kick back with a glass of whisky and some cheese and biscuits.

What sort?

I think you’re reading too much into it.

I'm disappointed because I think Jesse has talent. Thanks Jesse. I hope you don't play well against us though!

What dippy is saying is that pick 65 is the deal we got for Kent. We then on traded that in the hogan deal.

Thanks, but I know that and posted it earlier.

What I was saying is that you look at all the deals to see how we went, not just one.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
