I'm happy with the deal and Hogan is now the enemy.

Overall, Hogan to Freo was the equivalent of pick 2.

Gee, I'm glad we've got some thoughtful posters in here, amongst all the hysterics.

So whats on telly tonight.... the very best of ....Trade Week......watch as dimwits and nimrods talk twadlle and reminisce about all those glorious moments......

Sounds marvee

( what were they thinking !! )

Standards have slipped. 

But when you look at what else is on, perhaps this is not so bad.

No just reflective of the general standard of daily TV. 

Lowest common denominator.

And the sad thing is..........people will watch it. 

 

Hogan was always going home, he was homesick the whole time he lived in Melbourne, never settled, good luck to him, he’ll love being back in Scarborough but he will never play in a premiership team now...

Thanks Beelz....Do you think we should get out the money costumes we made for Scully and wear them again when we see Jessie at the G?

I guess no because I never really loved Scully....but Jessie ..to me he was a Jesus who smoked the odd dart.


My inflatable Jessie Hogan is sitting in the corner of the lounge room right now . . . Scared . . . Scared of the fork that's coming from the kitchen drawer . . . He knows he's going in the bin (aggressively deflated) but doesn't know exactly when.

I'm actually having fun with this

For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you
Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you

 
 

Don't cry for me, Jesse Hogan
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my Neeld existence
I kept my promise 
Now keep your distance

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 

You can also put a line through Keilty, Petty and J Smith. For 2019 at least

 

I didn't realise how much I liked Hogan until he actually left us.

Lot of great memories of him in the forward line, but all good things have to come to an end.

He wanted to leave, and that's fine. We got what we wanted in the end. Let's see if May & KK can bring us the same good memories. I still think we have an exciting future ahead and 1 man doesn't make a team.

All the best on your return to Perth Jesse,  even though I hate Freo, but wish you the best (even though you play for scum).

I posted last year that my gut feeling was Watts and Hogan wouldn't be at the club this year (before Watts was traded).

I was a bit late with Hogan but it just always felt like it was a matter of time before he went home.

cmon man thats rubbish to even suggest that

I must admit to feeling completely cold and indifferent to this trade.

Usually I feel emotionally tied to players and always hate to see them go. 

Not a criticism of Jesse just the way I feel. 

And the Club has gone about its business in an entirely professional manner. 

Farewell, Jesse. I will miss you, but I will not miss your Hogan's Going Home saga.

Could you put a demos jumper on Jesus , smoking a dart and the no 1 on the back and I'll frame it.

Bent over yet again. 

The way people are talking about "bent over", it must be some kind of biscuit I've not heard of

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.

There's a difference between being sad to see Hogan go and canning Mahoney.

I know it doesn't get him to WA,, but would we consider a straight trade with Gold Coast for Steven May, who now need a key forward to replace Lynch. Or more likely, a three club deal involving Freo in some way.

Effectively this is what happened. And back in August plenty piled on to old Allus, saying he had no idea about modern list management. Allus know of which he speaks.

Sorry @Demonland , but the "bent over" biscuit was crying out for this.

A jam centre ? 

I reckon Hogan's days at Melbourne were numbered when it became apparent we played a better style of footy when he was missing. Not saying Hogan is no good, just that we seem to gel better all over the ground when he is out. After that it was a matter of the footy department deciding what style of players we most needed, and could trading Hogan get those players in.

I never feel the same about players traded in as those drafted.  Bernie aside.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Plenty of Melbourne supporters feel the same.

I don't know why. As soon as they pull on our jumper, they're ours.

 I really rate Hogan and I am not as bullish about our ability to win without him as others are - it's a bit of a ruse as we've improved as a team and should be able to win without him.  But win big?  That's a different story.

On the surface of it,  it feels like unders but reading between the lines,  there's seems to be a bit more to this trade than we can readily see.  If Hogan dominates for Freo as I reckon he may well do,  the loss will be even more transparent.

May will improve the team but I'm still big on good key forwards in September so we will need Weideman to perform if we're to challenge.  And T-Mac will need to continue performing. 

The irony is that we'll probably now need to recruit a key forward.  The FD won't be satisfied with just the 2 realistic KPF options.  An injury to the prospect or the revelation leaves us short up forward.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
