If the deal on the table for Hogan was pick 5 & Brad Hill ... would you take it?

Send pick 5 and Frost to the Suns for May and Kolodjashnij.

2019 R1 Side:

Jetta May OMac

Salem Lever Hibberd 

Hill Oliver Kolodjashnij 

Petracca Weideman Jones 

Spargo TMac Melksham

Gawn Brayshaw Viney

Harmes Lewis ANB Hannan

To me this is would be a significant improvement on the 2018 version of Melbourne. Shore up the defence with May while adding some class run, carry and delivery on the outside of midfield. We’ve got the grunt covered. Now’s the time to add a bit of polish. 

Be very happy if we emerged from trade week with an outcome like this. Pretty much all depends on what Hogan does of course.

Crickey, are we there yet?

silence from all the sources that would matter.  Will the Bluey cause player or club to reveal their hand?  

A mate's family used to take turns presenting the Fitzroy B&F trophy to the winner each year. His family were related to the club official the award was named after (don't ask me to say who, as I have no idea).

Anyway, each year the winner or placegetter was poached by a power club as poor old Fitzroy was near bust. Pert, Osborne, etc all abandoned the sinking ship.

On the year my mate's turn came up, he presented the trophy to Paul Roos and broke tradition by announcing to the crowd it was now Roosy's opportunity to declare he would resign with the Lions. Handing the mike over to Roos, the response was,

"Thank you very much for the award."

And he left the stage.

Well, you can imagine the silence as 300 fans sat, mouths agape in the knowledge that their club champion, star player was leaving. 

The following year he was at the Swans.

Dangerfield was a free agent, no contract to Crows?

Dangerfield was a RFA so the Crows could have kept him by matching the Cats offer. He was adamant that the Crows receive just compensation. Crows got pick 9 (Milera) and steak knives. I doubt that Crows fans held much of a grudge in that Dangerfield had served the club well for 8 years.

 

We should offer Mrs Hogan a job at the club

Was that while living in WA? 

Interesting, as if so, it meant he couldn't see them play live very often.

Has family from South Australia and was always a Crows fan growing up

No to Brad Hill

Damaged goods

Care to elaborate?

Triple premiership wingman and Doig Medallist (2017). Still only 25yo.

Hogan not averse to staying out ‘til the wee hours himself on occasion. Does that make him “damaged goods”?

If a Fremantle player comes into the equation (other than Cerra or Andy Brayshaw) I wouldn’t be interested in Ed Langin, I’d be asking after Brad Hill. He’d be very handy on a wing for the Dees, won their B&F in 2017, triple premiership player and still only 25yo.

There were rumours during the year too that Hill isn’t entirely happy playing ‘Ross Lyon footy’.

he opended a business in WA and said he isn't leaving.

Might be one of the reasons we are happy to let him go. ?

Major developments this evening... won’t say much more as I don’t have all the details.

Is evening from "6pm-9pm" or is it up to 11.59pm?

FWIW and I'm just one punter... Even though Jesse has a range of god given talents....I wonder whether he  genuinely fits the system and culture that Goodwin really wants...

On things WA trust 'Pennant'...I'm sure it's more than just a few late nights.

According to that idiot McAvaney Essendon is everyone's second favourite team.

Haha I nearly vomited when he said that. 

Had mail tonight from a mate close to a non-dees player that JH is gone. Same source is confirming Conca to Freo so apparently that's the word going around player circles. Wouldn't take it as gospel but he was on to Lever to Melbourne at the start of 2017 before the media storm.

Thanks @Mondê

The AFL merry go round is winding up to speed.

Not sure what you’re trying to say here...

None of the developments were anything to do with a public announcement and wouldn’t have been picked up by the media immediately.

It appears others have confirmed bits & pieces, but the fact remains that my source is impeccable. I don’t push for details though, cos I’d prefer the well doesn’t run dry.

Everything i've heard (i know nobody, just from on here and AFL journos) suggest he's gone. Like i said in the AVB thread, i don't like that the club is going to have so much turnover after a succesful season onfield. Hopefully this is a one off off-season, reminds me too much of our dark days.


Take it as you will but May was having beers with Gawn (and other Melb players) after the Brownlow and said that he wants in at Melbourne next year. Feeling was that Hogan is gone but wasn’t sure how the trade would be done.

This comes from a reliable source and we are trying to manage how we can maximise on the trade.

Gawnies cider commericals won over somebody atleast.

 

Looking forward to 100+ pages of updates Across the trade threads to see me through sitting with the magpie supporting inlaws tomorrow

Besides Hogan, they are only turning over fringe players who are looking for more opportunity.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
