he could of course say... "trade me or I go next year" as a restricted free agent.

Life isn't straight forward... Players now decide... clubs take what they can get

I donโ€™t think he is a free agent next year

    The only reason I would entertain any deal for Hogan is if he said he will go to WA when he is a FA. restricted or not, players end up where they like usually and we would be left with nothing for a gun.

    is it 2021 when he will first be a FA?

    To be honest, I think Cerra looks a lot better than Andrew brayshaw.

    If we can turn Hogan in to:

    - May
    - Preuss
    - Ed Langdon

    Then we've filled 3 needs (full back, back up ruck, wing) with 1 player leaving. I'd do that for sure.

    It would be brutal but it's a brutal competition

    Sounds like Preuss will be done regardless.

    Or as some like to say, irregardless.

    Jungle drums beating louder and louder .. blokes on DL who have unequivocally stated he wasn't going anywhere have to realise that you can never say never.. It's going to be an interesting month ahead.

    By my calculations, Hogan is NOT a free agent at the end of next year. Can anyone confirm?

  • Quote

    Greg Denham and Jon Ralph?

    Looks like itโ€™s happening.

    Straight swap for Lachie Neale or pick 4 from the Neale to Brisbane deal plus Cerra.

    Otherwise no go.

    he couldn't do that as he's not a free agent next year

    I don't recall one poster who has 'unequivocally stated he wasn't going anywhere'.

    I'll wait for confirmation from Jesse or the club, but it seems where there is smoke, there may be fire. 

    Again, the Sun article stated that he hadn't asked to be traded, so I'll be interested to see how this unfolds.

    Will be absolutely filthy if all we get back for him is Steven May!

    Don't get me wrong, May is a good player.. but he doesn't hold a candle to Hogan's potential in my view... In addition to the fact May is 3 years older!

    Proof please. A single quote will do the trick.

    If we are open to it, knowing he can't leave as an unrestricted free agent next season, then we will play hard ball. If Freo can get a high pick alone for Lachie Weller, then you would expect we get more than that. Their first pick and a young player (Brayshaw, for example), where we then trade the pick on to GC for May might make sense.

    Denham's article in the Oz is a paragon of opinion dressed up as fact.  The only part that veers close to a a statement is prefaced with "it is understood" which is an old journalistic trick. Easy to deny - easy to say "told ya so". Appropriately Supernaut's "I Like it Both Ways" is a West Australian song.

    "It is understood Melbourne are prepared to consider sacrificing Hogan for May after their glaring deficiency in defence against West Coast in last Saturdayโ€™s 11-goal preliminary final defeat, even with top backman Jake Lever expected back early next season from a knee reconstruction."

    No way am I giving Hogan for ONLY Freo's pick 6 from Freo to ontrade for May. 

     

     If he is going we need to take the Adrian Dodoro (Ess) approach. Some of his demands on behalf of his club have bordered on the absurd but there's no way in hell he'd leave the table without gaining an advantage. They want a potential champion, then you've got to give up something pretty bloody good.

    And those posters, myself included, were going by the fact there was no proof. All signs were that he was happy, so why would we trade him? 

    Now that there is more info it changes things. That info is still unconfirmed, but there is potentially more legit stuff now.

    Would feel better about that.. but would Freo be prepared to pay Brayshaw plus first round? Steep!

    Both of Freo's first rounders, or one plus Brayshaw/Cerra. Nothing less.

    Hold these purple peanuts to ransom. 

    Hogan is worth more than LEver, who cost us two first rounders.

    So youre spot on.  And we can throw in Dean Kent .

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturdayโ€™s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but Iโ€™ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demonsโ€™ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young manโ€™s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneโ€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationโ€™s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
