Has it even started...? 

He was interviewed by Stevo not long ago on 7News and Jones said similar things to what he said when Luke Darcy questioned him. However according to Stevo, Melbourne has said Hogan didn't ask for a trade when he last met with Goody. He's still gawn I reckon.

    I read somewhere that the idea of being traded wasn’t initiated by Hogan but he was open to it. I still think he’s 100% gone.

    Agreed I would be shocked if he was there next year.

    If my memory serves me correctly, yes he did.

    The bottom line is that Tommy probably isn't going to be offered the deal of a lifetime as I suspect Jesse has been offered.  Of course,  we don't know that for sure with T-Mac but it's unlikely.  

    At a guess I reckon Tom would be on 400k-500k per year whilst Jesse is reportedly being offered a long term deal at $1.2Million per year.  Jesse is formally from WA so the deal makes sense given Fremantle's situation & standing.

    From all accounts Jesse has been well looked after at Melbourne & well remunerated so if there is a parting of the ways then it would be hoped that we are more than well compensated.

    He said he fully expects Hogan to be an MFC player next year.

    Here's the report, nothing new but a slightly more careful and rehearsed response from Jonesy compared to Saturday. Maxy similar straight bat below

    Yep, trotting out the club line. Wonder whether the footy department was worried that all of the "we understand his situation" talk was undermining their negotiating position.

    Well, maybe this has been a complete waste of time after all.

    To be honest it's essentially the first we've heard of the "club line" through this entire saga. Gut feel is he's gone but really hoping he's staying.

    One thing's for sure, I'm sick of this being a media story every single off season.

    I can't think of another player so consistently linked with moving back interstate.

    I understand the whole club talk of “he’s a contracted player”, he is a “Melbourne man” etc., but there was something more convincing in Gawn’s statement. To say he expects to see Hoges in red and blue next year is quite strong because if it is true he is homesick, to put expectations on a teammate and friend that is struggling just isn’t in Gawn’s character. I might be overanalysing but I felt like Gawn’s statement was genuine.

    Oh well, it is just a waiting game I guess

    Certainly no other player linked to interstate move every year but Jack Watts’ name was brought up almost every fricken trade period.

    What colour do you get when you mix red and blue?

    Bingo. 

    Sounds like we are going to dig our heels in, do a bit of posturing of our own. Good stuff.

    This thing has the potential to drag on late into trade week if Freo think we’re just going to accept pick 5 and packet of Samboy chips for him.

    Craig Smoker was ok in his debut year, but then went off to Carlton as I recall.  Maybe wanted to be with John Elliott.

    No deal he [Weed] put in his best games in the last month of the season however he is still to prove he is a 22 game player in 2019. 

    The whole list need to prove that - and make that 25 or 26 games thanks.

    So goodbye to all our depth.

    Out: Hogan, Kent, Tyson, Vandenberg, Pedersen, Vince, Bugg

    I'm worried

    Depth smepth. The only player we lose that has any bearing on anything is Hogan, and I’m very optimistic we’ll come out in front on that one.

    Our 2019 list will look better than our 2018 list.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
