You're acting as though we have other options and are not exploring them.

We can only deal with what we've got.  We don't have a first rounder, and if that's what GC want for May, we're doing what we can to get one in to do the deal.  We don't have a huge amount of bargaining power, and it's not as though we can just pull a pick out of our [censored] to make a deal happen.

Mahoney has said unequivocally  ... “No Hogan trade, no May to Melbourne.”

Doesn’t sound too promising for the Dees does it ...

(From AFL.com.au)

"He’d (May) be happy to come to Melbourne (city) if something was found," Gold Coast list manager Craig Cameron told AFL.com.au.

"It’s up to the clubs now that are pursuing him to come up with something. At this this stage they haven’t."

"If they come to us with something around Steven then it might be tied into that, that’s a fair way off as I said." 

May simply trying to make sure GCS get value from trading him. Not onlike when Chip went to Hawthorn.

I read that he is quite aware that the Hogan/Freo link has most likely fallen through (at least for this trade period). 

Demons not a focus now for the Suns re May.

How is it that absolutely no one else (including probably Craig Cameron who said the words) actually get that read out of the comments made. 

The talk that the Hogan trade has fallen through was last Friday afternoon. Since then it has been reported that Hogan, Freo and Melbourne have been in conversations. Everyone still thinks something will get done with these players.  But apparently thats not enough for you!

Any chance the Dees will get pick 5, and then instead of giving it to the Suns, trade it up to a higher pick? Say, 1, 2, 3 or 4, similar to what we did with (I think) Oliver and Weid?

No chance. We are using it for May mate. 100%


Hogan to Freo, May to Melbourne 8.12pm televised Wednesday night, lock it in.

The real question is why are you still waiting for them when they so clearly and adamantly pulled out of negotiations for Hogan last week?.

Yes and after clearly and adamantly pulling out of negotiations, they met with Hogan...

Agree, Melbourne is trying to strengthen it's list for a crack at the flag, I'd be surprised that pick will remain ours for more than a few hours!

More like 7.30pm, need time for all the ‘immediate’ follow on trades to be announced

Source? Actual quotes from Mahoney or Bell? Or just another desperate rumour from some sheep dags reporter.

Freo may well have met with Hogan again over the weekend. Who knows what they discussed? Strategy to bring him over in 2019? Could mean anything!

“Don’t worry Jess ... here’s our strategy for bringing you over next year if the Dees don’t capitulate now. This year or next mate but we’re doing it our way so you have a stronger team to play with in the long term..”

I'm not listening to any more of this.

If Bell ? has flown to Melbourne it will be to negotiate the Hogan Trade. I hope Mahoney stays strong on our requirements

In the meantime, we will spoon feed some information to the media about your contract, make you and your manager look greedy, he can then accuse us effectively of being liars, all is good mate.......

Fremantle is transacting a number of deals. Most/all footy dept heads will be in Melbourne tomorrow.

I know I might not be living in the real world but I would hope Jesse has a bit more respect for our club than that.

I don't know him but I don't think he would play that game and throw s.... in the face of the people who have stuck by him through some tough times.

...but you might know him well and this is the expected outcome.

Hogan’s manager’s $8mil/8year Furphy has worked wonders on some. 

RGRS hook, line and sinker.

Anyone who has participated in negotiation knows that once the bargaining process is well advanced or moving to a critical point there is enormous psychological pressure to get the deal done. Previous bargaining strategies are altered and what you are prepared to offer or accept changes.   No-one wants to walk away without a resolution, knowing that at sometime down the track the differences need to be resolved. 

I expect this is the case here.

Which is another reason why I think the parties will get the Hogan deal done.

Very mature Sue.

Thought you put me on ignore? ?

No, my remark about ExitTheDragon was a suggestion not planned action on my part.  But interesting that you assume my little joke was directed at you and not the general fugazi.

Mahoney has said unequivocally  ... “No Hogan trade, no May to Melbourne.”

That's because we don't have another first round to use for May, and of all players on our list (that we could be happy to move on), Hogan is our best chance to get this done.

This is my point - moving Hogan might net us Pick 5.  That doesn't mean May is worth Pick 5, but that's what we will have to spend because we don't have any other option.  So if we want him, that's what we pay.

It's not that difficult to understand.

You're right... it could mean as much as your assumption that everything is dead in the water and nothing else will get done with that trade.

.... I feel somewhat better now thx!

 

Watch this back to back and it will almost be time for the grand finale of trade period.

  • 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.
