Kent and Hogan for 6 and 23.

Makes sense to pay overs to bring players in, but contracted players going out? Poor form

If it gets us a flag who gives a [censored]? Sad to Jesse go but business is business.

Still weak at our core.

Look at other teams around us, Collingwood (Beams) Hawthorn (Wingard, Scully)and Richmond (Lynch), all improved their list. There is no way our list has improved from this.

If it gets us May, KK and an additional useful player then that's a decent outcome.

Not amazing. Not disastrous. Decent.

I'm partly just glad it's done tbh.

Overall I think we did well. Got Hogan off with his big salary who did not want to be in Victoria as well his other issues for a first and second round pick.

That foot - those issues - leads us to new faces and considerable strengthening. Not as bad as the heart feels.

Good work MFC. 

Now to get some players in who WANT to be here. 

Will be interesting to see how many dummy spits Hogan has with the FREO midfield delivering the ball to him.

I’ll back in our footy department everyday after what they’ve been able to achieve over the passed 4 years.

Thye have earned and deserve trust.

Agree.

The war is the premiership.

The battle is the trade period.

A single trade is an engagement.

So long as everything is driving to winning the war the other parts don’t matter in isolation.

Who knows if we have the right strategy. Time will tell.

Gun forwards who kick 50 goals are rare.

 

We have lost a beauty.

 

Good Luck to Jesse....but more importantly Go Dees!

True. And Hogan has never kicked 50 goals in a season.

I wish him well and hope he will be happy in his new home but don't feel particularly disappointed that he's gone. In my view he never really lived up to expectations. Sure, he played some great games, but for various reasons, some outside his control, he was inconsistent and not really embedded as a team player.

Not happy but nothing can be done

A contract of any length is no more than a handshake

Sad to lose a gun forward who has 7-8 years of AFL left in him. 

I hope we play the Shockers on the ‘G next year

It really annoys me that people have a go at the disappointed posters.  Hogan is a generational player, he held our aspirational hopes for a long time and we became attached to him.  I can't believe there is anyone not sad to see him go.  Those knocking the disappointed are just jerks.

Average trade. We paid overs for Lever and have let Hogan go for unders. Lucky the list is in such good shape otherwise, as we've proven to be weak at the trade table when the big deals need doing.

Would have liked a better deal but it is what it is.

We're pushing for the flag, if this chain-reaction helps claim a flag then overs/unders can be ignored.

He's had a rough run, so all the best to Hoges over there, looking forward to a solid Melbourne back-line shutting him out.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
