Mahoney dropped his nuts at the trade table. ..

So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer.

Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

    Yes Peter Bell wins. Mahoney caved but knew Jesse wanted to go home. 

    We all move on. 

    I don't understand how he wins...

    Made a big song and dance on Friday about pulling out of the Hogan deal and ended up paying what was offered on the Friday.

    Not much changed except for Bell doing a 180...

    [censored] Fremantle but they’ve come out smelling roses. 

    ONLY UNTIL FREO ATTEMPT TO FIELD HOGAN WEEK IN, WEEK OUT. For Freo, to avoid further embarrassment, they had to complete this deal at any cost. The navicular injury is lifelong. Just as the attitude and histrionics are self-centred. The MFC could see what bubbled beneath the surface. Success is a team game - not an individual pursuit.

    My understanding of negotiation in any business is that you start off asking for more than you're likely to get. And everybody involved in the deal knows it. I would hardly expect Mahoney to ask for something and then be given more than he wanted. I can't understand why people seem surprised or disappointed that we didn't get what was surely an initial ambit claim.

    Fair call mate, I'm too attached to Hogan to have a reasonable or unbiased view on this LDC, just so disappointed he's gone. I'll be right in a couple of hours ?

    Hogan and Lobb will be salivating with the likes of Lachie Neale sticking it down their throat... oh hang on. 

     

    I was a fan, but like ProDee I question why any sane, driven player would bail out now. 

    Take solace in the fact that Weid has performed in front of back to back 90k crowds. Something Hogan will never experience. 

     

    I’m not 100% sure about May and KK, but if they perform well then there’s nothing wrong with this deal at all.

    With all this talk of being bent over and balls being lost, seeing a hole and filling it is another zinger (or am i being a little too perverse?)

    Out: Hogan and a pick we didnt need.

    In: May, Kolodashnij and pick 23.

    I'm happy. Welcome new guys and all the best to Jesse.

    Sad, but understandable.

    I won't hold anything against Jesse for wanting to go home. He has had a pretty [censored] couple of years. It wouldn't have been much fun for him to sit out the finals after working so hard to get there.

    There are a lot of variables on the table now. The trade works for us so long as the Weed continues to develop and Preuss can drop into the hole that Maxy worked so well.

    There is a lot on here of Jessie's shortcomings.  Many on here happy to pot him on his way out.

    I loved watching him play and he was an important part of our team while it was being rebuilt.  He was our only key forward for a few years (Clarke and Dawes always injured). 

    He deserves recognition for sticking around when he could have left and spent more time with his dad.

    Thanks Jessie for sticking with us during our tough times.  All the best at Freo.  Hope going home brings you the happiness you are seeking.

    Excellent post, well said LH

    Disappointed to see Jesse go but May and KK (who I rate very highly) to the club is excellent.

    Id be interested in a last minute trade for 23 if someone became available...

    Wrong pick

    just as an aside - does anyone truly believe that Mahoney came out said the things about being open to Jesse being traded and also what final deal was going to be acceptable without input from others at the club ? This a Mahoney decision and no-one else's ?

    Door closed on Hogan!  Weed better step up next year.  Time for a new forward to make a name at MFC.  Come on Weed the world is your oyster and possibly a flag next year!  Hogan can enjoy the exciting brand of Fremantle!!!!

    For those who like me  may have been wondering, our draft picks are:-

    23, 36, 46, 54, 62, 91

    So we have traded out, retired and delisted 11 players, traded in 3 players but only have 6 picks. I'm confused. Do we have 2 fewer players on our list this season?

    Dodo will ask for 23 for that fast midget who cant kick

    hahaha...i'm really struggling with this one mate, it's  bringing back nightmares of the wizard being poached by Freo. I'm far more upset with him leaving more than anything Josh has said, just deflecting i think, i'm very unreasonable at the moment mate

    • 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?
