End of last year he was away with Gawn, Harmes etc

Allegations from that trip went awfully quiet.

    That was my first thought when I asked Chook who he was worried about slandering.

    Well, if I am picking up what @Chook in Perth is putting down, then my questions around why the club is so ready to move on from Hogan have been answered...

    Yes, some can read the tea leaves.

    So no further news today, and Jesse is reportedly enjoying himself in Bali. Either it's been done behind closed doors out of the public eye, or he's stuffing both clubs around. The fact he toured Freo's facilities shows his lack of commitment to us, and for that reason I think it's best we try to move him on and get the best deal possible.

    Everybody relax.

    When Ethan feels like revealing the truth he will.

    Until then it's all speculation.

    I don’t think posters can handle the truth.

    Don't start telling them this Red....they all think the circus is real. Well it is real...it's a real circus lol

    It's a bit like impromptu theatre. Most has already been sorted or situated....just needs the paperwork ;)

    Most people enjoy the illusion though.

    Don’t think that’s quite accurate, B’bub.

    There’s circus and theatre but a very real negotiation underway. Still an outside possibility Hogan stays. Mahoney isn’t bluffing.

    The foot issue thing is clearly bogus.

    Whatever turns you on Terry. Just don't spew on them.

    No shortage of irony in a few prominent posters claiming to now by ‘reading the tea leaves’ either having no clue that this was going to happen a few weeks ago, or adamant that it would never happen while they remained above ground. 

    Talk about run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds! 

    All fun though. Human nature to want to come out crowing.

    Hoges went to Bali last year with Maxy, Kent and Harmes... That photo is an oldie from a pre season camp if i'm correct.

    I'm fairly concerned about Frost getting badly sunburnt.

    It could  make him permanently deaf.

    I hope so we need a decision from Hoges pronto!

    Summary of the points re Hogan:

    • Dockers cooling partly because of Lobb's arrival and partly the Demons are demanding two early first-round picks.
    • the spearhead's recovery from a navicular injury among the pressing issues it has to address.
    • There is still a chance Hogan could remain at Melbourne, but it appears far more likely he will be in the Dockers' purple and white next season.
    • Hogan is unlikely to officially request a trade to Fremantle in the next day or so, but it's understood progress is being made behind the scenes that is inching him closer to that point.
    • But, as they consider such a blockbuster trade, the Dockers won't be rushed. 

    My read is he will be a Docker next year but we wait a few days to hear an official trade request.

     

    As an aside, in case anyone missed it @Mach5reported in the AVB thread that we may trade him and 2nd/3rd round picks to Sydney for pick 12.   Could come in very handy in a trade to GCS so we can break the nexus between the Hogan and May deal.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • 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.
