Thankfully those days are over.  Just today it was reported that recruits spent the first month living with a senior player, went to Alice on a camp together (again with club leaders) and will live together for 3 weeks in Kooyong as part of their induction to the club.  They will learn early what is required of them and importantly given the internal relationships to support them now and as they develop.

Yes LH..   my post wasn't aimed at the current Footy management...  and club Management.  Which I think is doing a ballsy job, so far.

LOL!  I didn't even notice the 3019.  Hoping it is a typo! 

Might alert @Flag Favourites 3019so that he can change.

... might be a postcode.

    I like a good game of charades.

    It would have to beat what the riddler put out last year.

    This is the first I’ve visited D-Land for a while and it’s fascinating to see that there’s still so much interest in Jesse. I had a couple of days feeling a bit unsure of whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, good trade vs bad trade, but now he’s just another opposition player now.

    Mike Sheehan was more than happy for Jesse to go, said he would straight swap May for Hogan in a heartbeat not to mention KK and picks. 

    I thought he was crazy at the time but I'd suggest he had very good mail OD

    Happy we didn't go for Dan Hannebury. He's just done his hammy... or rather, has had scans after "hamstring awareness". His body is shot, it would appear.

    Afraid so. It means - especially in the case of Coco pops - a disposition to just keep indulging in sugar. No wonder we allowed him to seek sweeter pastures. MFC,-11, let this be a warning to you. Do plain simple porridge for breakfast. You DO NOT, repeat, YOU DO NOT want to end up comatose under a table in an ice cream parlour. Be warned.

    Some pretty ordinary photos doing the rounds of social media showing Jesse’s off-season ‘training’. It should be pretty clear to all why we weren’t desperate to keep him.

    he is a kid who is entitled to a good time, but there is a enough evidence out there for people to paint a picture of why the MFC decided to move on Hogan.

    The previous comments about the FD being 'happy' to let Hogan go are correct. 

    Yes, inside information from top level at the Club.

    I have no “inside info” at all to base my comments on, yet I can fully understand from Godwin’s perspective that if Hogan could not commit long term to the MFC, then he had to go. However to insinuate that there were other reasons for trading him would fly in the face of comments Goodwin made before the trade period that “ Jesse loves Melbourne and Melbourne loves Jesse. He’s going nowhere”. I just don’t think Goodwin is the type of guy to not call a spade a spade. But like I said, I don’t have any inside info to back this up.

    whatever the story really is, and despite the fact that he is playing for Freo, I hope he is now content and is able to reach the full potential of his abilities - just not against us.

    What do these photos show? Is it just the one of him laying on the ground that was posted earlier in this thread, or is there more?

    Hes not our problem anymore regardless, and I wish him well. He’s been through a lot for someone his age and I dare say most of us wouldn’t have handled it so well if we were in his position.

    You don’t seriously believe that a Coach would can a guy in the media when they are either keeping him, or hoping to trade him, do you?

    If you do, I have a clapped out piece of crap car that you might like to buy.

    Yes, this was seemingly the saga that was always going to give a level of speculation to the Media and the AFL that would be continuously spotlighted to the detriment of the player and the Club that just wanted to get on with it.

    Hogan will grow up, Melbourne HAS grown up. Myself,  i will be really interested in watching "how he plays"......and us without "HIM"

    Of course not Redleg.  I just wouldn’t have expected such an emphatic statement to have come from Goodwin, given the straight shooter he is, if the opposite were true.  

    If there were other issues, I would have expected rumours to that effect to have emerged long before the trade period. While there has always been rumours about him going back to WA, I’ve certainly never heard of any other issues.  Clubs are generally not good at keeping secrets on behaviour issues for long periods.

    Well, the opposite was true. Hogan was going somewhere: to Fremantle.

    There are a number of photos doing the rounds on social media. The one posted here is tame. Personally I have nothing against Hogan choosing the life he wants.  But i really dislike the [censored] who snap a shot of him and post it online triumphantly.

    Well we don't leak like a sieve anymore. He was not traded just because he was happy to go home. You can back that in.

    You may be right. I’m not going to argue the point simply because I don’t know. I’d just be surprised if that were true. Anyway, merry Christmas.

    Problem is too many posters believe all the crap we hear. No one should ever take seriously any comments coming from club officials on delicate topics. They are protecting the club but is not ours to blindly accept untruths. The media won’t ask leading and probing questions if they don’t smell a rat. Merry Christmas.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

      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.
