So Brisbane traded with GC to get pick 6 and will package that with others for Neale. Is that what's happened here?

Rumour is we get Cerra !

I'd be very, very, very surprised if we got Cerra.  I just can't see it happening.  It'll be for picks, nothing more.

Can everyone pls calm down ffs

I know all that

but he is a contracted player, who can assist the Weid in becoming a better forward for a year. 

I just get the feeling the Weid is still a touch green

Just my feelings...

I see what you've done there...

I'm trying to read The Calmer Sutra but it's not working.

This is the oddest time for someone to ask people to calm down. About to trade a former pick 1, generational full forward.

Check your spelling Mondè!! :)

As an aside, unbelievable trade period for Fremantle.

Aside from some minor swaps in the late pick they have done:

Out: Pick 6 and Neale

In: Hogan, Lobb, Picks 14 and 30

They also picked up Conca as a free agent.

I don’t think so sue. Cripps is from WA and there’s never been any noise about a return there. Simon Black from WA had a long and fruitful career in Brisbane. The AFL is littered with interstate players who settle in. Furthermore I believe this has been as much driven by the MFC as it was Hogan driven.

I'm not saying it will stop club's recruiting from WA, just make them very cautious, especially if the player is very young.  As for it being driven by MFC, surely that was only because we knew he would either go home now or next year.

Whether he goes or stays, I expect this will put a dampner on Vic clubs recruiting young blokes from WA.

Agreed. 

I'm glad our current and potentially future elite players in Gawn, T Mac, Oliver, Brayshaw , Harmes, Petracca, Salem and Weideman are VIC blokes.

yeeeah, they are still [censored] 

My prediction is 4000 replies before the trade gets done....

Yes and Opposition Teams will target him hard now on the ground. A year of transition with Hogan would have been an interesting proposition 

Maybe Omac could transition forward if May comes. Who knows? He could turn out like his brother.

    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.
