A risk worth taking. It's no accident T Macs form has dropped off in the absence of Hogan. They worked well in tandem. He is exactly what we need.

    I get that isolation has been hard on all of us, but Christ, this will never happen in a million years. Imagine Freo trying to sell it to their members:

    "Look guys, we know Hogan cost us pick 6 and a shot at drafting Ben King, but he's served us extremely well for the 12 games he played and we are happy to respect his wishes to return to the Demons. Given that his trade value has plummeted, we think Spargo and a 3rd round pick is more than a fair return."

    ummmm this post just fuels the doubt people have on your info. You post one message, saying Hogan wants to come back, that your source is Connolly, then people start asking questions then you want to smoke bomb it straight out of here. This has troll written all over it.

    Everyone knows you can just cancel it yourself.

    The leopard doesn't change its spots. When he was with us, away from his bad WA influences, he often showed disinterest and went sooking to the umps.

    That's what we'll get if he comes back.

    Huge talent, likely to be unfulfilled no matter the club. Maybe AFL-level football isn't for him.

    It would have to be a very heavily performance based contract.

    Really happy for him, like Bennell he could be someone that actually benefits from this lockdown.

    loved watching him when he was with us, sometimes with my own despair as to his performance, but cheered him anyway.

    As long as he is not starring, or Freo winning against the Dees I will cheer him on still.

    The old adage if a tree falls in the forest.. if Hogan kicks a bag in a non demon game, will there be any dee fan around to see it? I know I did not schedule any freo games into my spare time last year or will this year, so how can I cheer him on?!

    Tbh I would love to cheer him on to kick 8 against us, just to witness some decent intuitive forward craft, wrestling a defender out of the contest and taking a 1 hander. thats the kind of [censored] I can enjoy...but at the end of the day, we still get up by a point over there. Best of both worlds!

    No, not digging this up to bemoan the loss of Jesse in typical fashion.

    Just passing on that:

    Longmuir said that Hogan will play as a defender against Carlton.

    Must watch TV for me, given it was said by many that they'd like to see him tried in defense, if the Freo trade fell through and Steven May did not come. Also said when he was having a run of poor form or was sooking at teammates too often throughout his career with us.

    I saw this today, interesting thought. I often considered it to be an idea when he didn't seem to be working hard enough, but he was just so damn talented as a forward that he was always just ready to break a game open. Could be a good move for reintroducing him to league footy as well.

    That said if it were us I could picture every other fan saying that we're tanking.

    Longmuir said that Hogans to the backline is just temporary for the rest of the season as they have lost two key defenders.

    Is there any chance Jesse would return to the MFC at seasons end or is it a pipe dream?

    Imagine him slotting in next to the new and improved Weid.

    That’s just a reflection of how ridiculous the WA govt are in relation to COVID -  move on.

    Even if WA has gone a bit neurotic asking people to quarantine when they have been isolated for months AND constantly tested AND only been in low-risk states... Hogan still is accountable.

    Just glad the matter itself seems very minor. It ought to be handled as any other breach, and that actually seems to be how it is going.

    Be funny if the restrictions are lifted a bit for new arrivals the next couple of days but Hogan still has to spend another week+ getting cabin fever.

    I take it all the Eagles players are back over here stuck in quarantine for two weeks after playing their last game in QLD?

    Jesse needs to get out of Perth. He made a mistake heading back there. It’s too much of a fishbowl. I suggest the club get onto his manager to discuss how to get him back to his rightful footy home, the MFC!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
