I love Jesse but he would go home with the blessing of all Demon supporters surely.  The bloke has been through some dark times in his personal life.

Cant help but get excited over the haul we would get in return for him.  Could set us up for 15 years.

Could also set us back quite a few if its not handled right!

Heres the current draft order.  Gold Coast and Freo hold picks 2 and 5.  I would want both for Hogan, and nothing less.

i agree with this but I reckon it'll be one first round this year and next years as well - just like the Lever trade. Freo will be woeful again next year so we should get another high pick unless of course we burn it this year (trade future picks) scenario.

FML.

I'm rather dismayed this is happening.

Interesting timing with the changeover of CEO. I know Mahoney is doing the negotiating but the CEO crunches the numbers and who has the final say Peter or Gary?


And let the funni season begin!

Didnt take long to fire up after our last match. 

Good luck at Freo Hoges.

It does have that feeling doesnt it. But I think we need to wait until we see the deal. Surely the cap space that it opens must also put us in the running for some of the bigger free agents this year?

Mahoney , Taylor and their crew haven't let us down once yet.  In fact they have been absolutely brilliant.

 

IF Jesse is determined to go west (but why would a KPF want to play under Lyon's game plan FFS?) then we must demand two high picks PLUS Andrew Brayshaw who could also legitimately claim homesickness.

 


well there you go, didnt want to sign up and happy to go, some egg on face in this thread now

Yeah, you'd think so.

Might be the play that ultimately lands us Gaff but also arms us with a superior hand next year for another gun.

He’s contracted so if they want him cough up your two top 10 picks this year freo. 

Happy to up our offer on gaff with the room freed up and offer both those picks to try and prize out josh kelly

I am perfectly happy for Hogan to leave if in return we get Whitfield or Kelly.

Exactly what I posted.

@Patches O’houlihan says there's nothing to see here, so that's good enough for me. Probably the best track record on here.

That wasn’t based on any info I had sorry mate I just assumed it was bs like usual.

I suspect you're right, but we are being pushed to a trade we wouldn't otherwise have taken... and possibly for unders.

Get ready people. Apparently it's happening. Brace yourselves. This one will hurt.

As long as we are not the ones stuffed, leave it to the turkey.

we might be doing the carving  ;)

We paid picks 3 and 13 to get Hogan to the club. Then developed him from a teen to one of the best forwards in the game. Pick 5 alone won’t go near getting this deal done.


Although this is a blow, it can also be used to set up the side for a long time. We managed ok without Hogan while he was injured. The cap space freed up by his departure would allow us to go after someone like Gaff as well as May and still have room left over as well as a high pick(s) in a potential super draft. This could be a good thing for our overall list.

That's one of the more brutal posts I can remember reading.

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!

I think we have shown in the last few years that we get the deal done if we are after a certain player. 

We all thought we paid overs for Melksham and also to a smaller degree Hibbo.  I think we can agree they have both been enormous. The two 1st picks for Lever is looking reasonable after finishing 4th also. 

If we do happen to lose Hogan and get May in I think this makes us stronger now and is worth it for mine.  I think Freo will throw in a little sweetener also. 

2019 flag favs!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
