I feel a sadness, an empty feeling. They give you such joy for the very short period they are with us. But oh the memories......Jessie, Liam and Mitch.

    Really disappointing to lose Hogan. I reckon he could have become our highest ever goal kicker and dominated the comp for the next 5-7 years. 

    Anyone down playing his value can only be trying to make themselves feel better

    Not much the club could have done though as he wanted to go home. 

    I want to win a flag! I don't care about highest ever goal kickers.

    Lol. Saying one thing means another?

    of course we all want to win a flag. Keeping your best young players generally helps with that

    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 

    My Hoges figurine is about to see the inside of the microwave, he knows it, he can feel it coming!!!

    Was it Bennett Schwartz and neitz lining up in a final in early 90s v Geelong where we got thrashed. The three amigos shook hands at the start of the game but when it came to game time we didn't function well with an overloaded forward line. Jesse's only option was to pplay his final year as a CHB.

    Don McLean did a good version also.

    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.

    A very talented player no doubt, but his lack of chase and tackling pressure was completely at odds with the brand Goodwin has been developing since he took the reigns.

    I'm in the other camp.

    I'm really disappointed we have lost Jessie and not fussed about the pick value.

    Well I beg your pardon Binman, you're in the minority.

    Part of me feels sad about losing Jess. But I'm super excited about landing May, KK and grabbing a pick in the 20's.

    May will be absolutely enormous for us. His value goes beyond game-day ability. 

    Opposition sides would never have once felt 'scared' about walking into a back six that contained Oscar and Frost. 

    That will change now.

    Bloody awful. Way worse than the Scully one, as he was never an amazing player to begin with.

    Laughable to see demons supporters desperately trying to claim he was never that crash hot or didn't play Goodwin's system well or that Weed was just as good or that we looked better without him... None of us own crystal balls, but when he ends up a superstar of the comp, don't act shocked.

    We need to get better at free agency. I don't know that we will though. We're already in a solid place list wise, and very soon will be right at the top of our cap.

    I am sad he will not ever play a Final for us.

    I think this is it. A committed Jesse would have been dynamite -- he's a hell of a player -- but he always gave off the vibe he was most content being a big fish in a small pond.

    At Freo they will indulge him and he'll earn himself a comfortable living, and good luck to him. Will get a WA derby each year to give him a taste of the big time.

    Over here, Goodwin is making a team that takes no prisoners. Anyone even half resembling a passenger will find it hard to look his teammates in the eye.

    Spot on. There is more to it than the go home factor. I can’t believe it didn’t surface this trade period.

    I wasn't suggesting I was in the majority.

    Agree may will be a terrific and important addition.

    Yeah. I can't believe Freo know nothing about his foot amputation surgery booked in for next week.

    I cannot see Hogan ever winning a GF for Fremantle.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
