So goodbye to all our depth.

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

I'm worried

Some people worry over spilt milk.

    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.

    It was a constant in WA with Pavlich returning to South Australia pretty much every year for his first 10 years at Freo

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

     

    Carlton? No

    After Melbourne he played for Williamstown before returning to WA. He then played for a WAFL team I think.

    I think the bar was lifted with Hogan. There was precious little relief from the clowns masquerading as journos badgering him about his contract and intentions, two effing years before a signature was required.

    Both 1 and 2 were shouted down about a month or 6 wks ago. Some children demanding the thread be closed, others claiming trade scenarios were a waste of time as he was 'settled'. The usual suspects telling us what we are allowed to think. There was some good discussion on what his value might be both on our list and as a trade.

    Who cares? You don't like someone's posts just block them. I do. Better than having 20 pages of dick measuring.

    Hogan shouldn't have signed his latest contract if he knew he was going. That was the time to leave. He said it himself. These vague reasons that have been put out about why he's going back are exactly that - vague. Doesn't seem like he has great cause to and he is going to break a lot of Melbourne hearts if he goes. 

    I'm not a fan of Vvandenberg leaving either. But Jesse is a whole other thing.

    Would it be fair if Team consideration indicated to the powers that be that the situation could be solved by compelling Hogan to sign a reasonable contract over a five year period that would get the pesky press off his back and the whole Club could get on with winning a Flag

    Your entire opinion is based around the assumption that Jesse is the one that drove this.

    I'm more open to the possibility that a few parties were/are involved. Freo with a tempting offer. Melbourne realising it could improve its list by trading him. Jesse taking that all in and deciding he'd be open to moving. He thinks on it some more and he realises that he'd prefer to go.

    I wouldn't begrudge him in that situation. 

    So without knowing the full details...

    I don't give a F what fremantle have offered, if Jesse's a Melbourne man, he wouldn't be tempted.

    However, if we have decided to get rid of him to make way for May or whatever else, then obviously no fault to Hogan. I just doubt this the case though otherwise Goody and Angus wouldn't have been laughing off Hogan leaving a few weeks ago

    Had an awesome first half of the year, was absolutely elite in many categories. I'm sure he would be the first to admit his second half of the year was disappointing and bear in mind he missed the last 5 games.

    I can see freo fans using this to argue unders on Jesse, like the dolts last year who thought it justified us paying unders for (or not recruiting) Lever

    If freo trade neele for brisbane brisbanes first pick, they should give us that one and their first pick. The club should say take it or leave it... play hardball... or shop him elsewhere.

    Well who needs a key tall forward, Hawks, Saints, Freo, WC could do some arranging, Pies, GCSuns definately,,, there would be no shortage of suitors for JesseH.

    Because they already have Darling and Kennedy.

     

    Not to mention they wont have the trade currency or cap space.

    Darling ;looks to me a bit of a worry for WC.  He looks a bit suss to me.

    I wouldn't mind betting that the Eagles would love to have Jesse in his place.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
