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?

    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.

    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.

    @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 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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
