Seriously how can the Dockers get more for Neale that we do for Hogan FFS

I realise that, but he's got an extensive history of breaking down.

Jesse could go on for the rest of his career injury free, and good luck to him (personally) if he does.  But I have my doubts.

Wouldn't say it's extensive history... but he plays a style of game that is high intensity and high impact, but he will play a different game at the dockers than with us I think. Freo will not want him to roam as far from goal, so maybe that changes!

6 or 11 is relevant given the possibility of the earlier pick being traded into more picks or players than 11 could. Whether that happens is another thing. 

I think discussion is between 11 or 23. 6 is a given.


We are a few minutes away from 10k posts in this thread.

GREAT EFFORT EVERYONE

So how many of the media experts actually got the specifics of that trade correct?

To be fair, they did get the bones right.... They never get the all the facts, they only get tid bits

So his goal returns will fall - as he has to go upfield to get the ball.

If he wants to get a kick at Fremantle he'll have to play at full back.

Yep, they get bits and pieces only, similar to the Hogan trade. We still are no closer to knowing the full deal.


If it's Hogan for 6 and 19 then that's two 1st round picks.  That's what we asked for.  Hard to mount an argument that we have taken significant unders.

It's these bits and pieces that will determine if the Hogan deal is fair or not however!

Depends how their picks work out.  What if they want in two years time, or turn into average players?  What is May and KK are part of a premiership side in the next few seasons?

I'll hold off before saying Freo got 'more' for Neale than we did for Hogan.  Too subjective.

They no longer have 19. It has to be 6 and 23 now.

    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.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
