Tyson can still go to North, and we can then ontrade the pick we get for him to help get May, and could include next years first rounder or it might not.

Great minds think alike, typed after i read your post, brilliant [censored] Freo.

Definitely

no one will give them pick 1-4 for May which is what they get as compo next year.

On the other hand they have a disaffected captain who they don't want hanging around the club.

Their choice

 

Board the joint up and Give us May for nothing.

Unless it’s a straight swap of Tyson for Preuss

I can’t see Brisbane taking a future first round pick. They may as well retain May for next season, they’ll get more in the same draft with the compo pick they’ll receive for him. 

I am sure Brisbane would take a future first round pick, especially as he is a GC player.

I am more than happy to hear nothing from Mahoney. 

Keep Freo guessing and under pressure 

He has said everything that needs to be said on the first day, its all up to Freo's mouthpiece Bell to make the next statement.

North have already rejected that, which if they wanted Tyson would be amazing, as Preuss is an 8 game player, with none this year.

GC won’t take our pick next year for May. No way they accept it. They will just keep him and get the early compensation pick for losing him as a FA

We’re constrained with what we can offer without the Hogan trade happening, no doubt. 

However, that saying of whenever a player elects their club they wish to play for, they usually get their wish. 

I can only imagine we’re gonna have to cough up a decent player as well as picks. 

 

Listening to SEN radio re-trade news, W.A.L.O.S  quickly turned it off. Perhaps there should only be a destination AFL club comp next year, we will all be given a long long rest.

Not sure why we'd panic. Much prefer Hogan on the list over May, even if we play Hogan in defence for the first few weeks of the season, while Lever gets fit.

This is not a silly idea - it could create another dimension. My mate is asking me, each day from over the fence, '...is Hogan really worth the trouble?' Testing times.

Sorry yes. I understand free what the different contractual status mean. I also understand restricted and unrestricted.

What im saying is if freo and hogan are smart then they wait one more year.

Buddy to swans for pick 18 or whatever the fa compo was is the most likely scenario imo for hogan to move.

And thats why flogs like mcclure are talking hogan out nd may in. Freo would need something serious to happen from the hogan camp to give up 2 high picks. It makes more sense to wait until next yr when hogans uncontracted.

Freo and hogan have the power in these negotiations is all im trying to say. The power is with the players 

I disagree but see where you're coming from. Even next year we'd still be demanding 2 first rounders for him same as Crows with Lever, Blues with Gibbs, GWS with Treloar etc

The buzzword ATM seems to be "brand". I think JH had seriously damaged his brand.

If he stays, whether by his choice, or the clubs' inability to reach agreement, I doubt that Demons' supporters will view him in the same light. 

And if he goes I doubt that many tears will be shed.

Sad really. The club has bent over backwards to support him. 

I do find the media chatter to be interesting. 

GC will get pick three in compensation for Lynch is apparently fair and what he's worth.

Shiel will probably cost the Bombers this year's and next year's first round picks, which they think is a bargain for the Bombers. 

Melbourne are asking two first round picks for Hogan, we're dreaming, no way he's worth that, dodgy foot, attitude issues etc etc. 

For the record Hogan is two years younger than Lynch and has him covered in almost every statistic, so if Lynch is worth pick three then we're in no way out of line asking more than that.

I expect the MFC are mentioning those precedents to Freo. Ignore the media chatter.

Yes the club has developed him, supported him tough times and now the club is onward upward.  His brand is weakened and he frankly is a pain in the backside with this nonsense.  Harden up JH and give back to the club who has nurtured you.  Stop peesing about!!!

That is ridiculous. For all we know JH has made his position clear and the delays which are causing us to head to the magic 300 (having passed the miraculous 200) have nothing to do with him.

How has the Hogan camp still said nothing after yet another deadline? 

The 2018 version of MFC doesn't leak like a sieve - doesn't meant than nothing is bubbling in the background.

Still, I agree that it is ve.y frustrating for supporters,

Re Jessie's foot injury. I know one of the professional's at the club who were looking after his foot. Let me put to rest those who think he was faking, he very definitely had a crack in the Navicular bone. The club was grateful that it was early on and not a full fracture requiring surgery. Seriously some of the conjecture and conspiracy theories stated are way out of line.

Fairly drastic solution, but ok!

  • 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.
