Why would anyone want a player that would prefer to play for Freo. He obviously has more important things in his life than football and that is obvious. He is a sublime talent but his head is not on the footy field.

    You've got some good footy views STMJ but you really are an awful person. 

    Why awful? 

    Posters are complaining and trade period is not even over. 

    They have no idea what we'll end up with and they refuse to look at the picture at large.

    If we don't win a flag in the next 5 years and Hogan takes Freo to one, that's when I'll admit that the trade was a fail or that we got 'unders' for Hogan.

    Good that the deal has been done.

    Despite his talent, it was always been what he could do for us.

    He had some good games but overall his contribution was patchy at best, when we could get him on the paddock. 

    He has not been the worth the coin he was being paid and certainly not worth more based on his performance.

    Sick of the constant speculation around this guy. 

    We are building a team where everyone has a role.

    We were not building a team around one player.

    So Freo this trade period
    Gain - 14 and some later pics, Hogan, Lobb, Conca
    Lose - pick 6 and Neale

    They've smashed it. They've landed Hogan and Lobb AND still got a pick int he first round. We've been poor by comparison. Disappointing.

    Except without Lachie Neale, how are Fremantle going to get the to their forwards? Fyfe will do a lot of the heavy lifting, but who else?

    People are disappointed to see Hogan go.  Is there an issue with that?

    You're dancing on their disappointment like a big bully.

    So T Mac goes down with an injury.  Who are our key forwards then? The Weid?  Yeah that will win a premiership!

    For decades we have cried out for a power forward unit.....we get close and then we trade 'em.

    Good one Dees!

    No, they're disappointed about 'pick value' that we're getting back.

    Nothing else.

    Yes Jesse can do some spectacular things on the footy field. But I really think he is an individual driven player, this might change with maturity but I doubt it... 

    He lacks defensive pressure it never seemed to fully buy into our team & city. 

    Its no coincidence that our BEST wins of the last 4 or 5 years have been with no Jesse. 

    we have netted a pick 3 in return where we will get a full back for 4-5 years, a potential outside runner (former pick 5) & pick 23 to bring in a very decent role player. 

    Sure pick 19 would have been better, perhaps we have something planed already for 23 in an on trade?

    Watch every other club in the league circle our midfield over the next 3 years.

    "Melbourne give up their stars for peanuts. Let's give Clayton, Angus and Christian a call, surely we can get em for a second round each."

    We'd better get on with winning next year's premiership so I can live with Jesse nabbing the Colemans in 2022-2025.

    your full of joy and positivity

    Freo have been absolutely desperate for a key forward .. we DID have leverage before we came out and admitted we're happy for him to go home and we need the deal to get done for May... Amateurish

    If Hogan made it clear to all and sundry that he wanted to go home, then why not say we are happy for him to go home.  No one would believe us if we said we'd hang on to him grimly.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
