Spot on SF. There has not been one statement from the club or players saying " please stay Jessie" Does that tell you something. There is a lot more to this than meets the eye. I see a lot of simulatives to the Watts trade last year.  

Ah those simulatives!

Sorry Febes, I understand that nuance and semantics are somewhat lost on you and others on DL.

In plain language the MFC is asking "what's in it for us?" This is a different prepossession to wanting him to go or stay.

You mean like, “we can’t land May unless Jesse leaves”.....

No actually, I mean; if Jesse leaves we can afford the May trade so there is something in it for us.

I think the club has taken a pragmatic approach and will be content with whatever the outcome is.

Interesting comment by David Noble Footy Manager of Lions in reference to Neale. He said they would offer pick 5 and that there was also value in getting a deal done that allows other deals to happen. He then said he was very confident of doing the Neale deal.

Another Hogan thread? 

Does this count towards the page total in the Hogan thread?

if we start a second hogan thread would that increase the chance of getting a second top 10 pick from freo?

Might achieve that by deleting the existing Hogan thread.

Apologies if it’s been mentioned already, a short time ago on SEN they said Tom Langdon ‘toured’ the Swans’ facilities today. 

A few days ago one of the journos stated a signing with the Pies was around the corner. Guess not.

@Dee tention is this a gut feel? or knowledge?

The bloke you're quoting spends his life making these sort of declarations, but they are based on nothing more than his fanciful imagination.

It's very disingenuous, but he's rarely challenged.

Jake Niall on The Age reporting that Carlton will be sending two second round picks to Sydney for pick 13, then on-trading pick 13 with their right to Shane McAdam to Adelaide for McGovern.

Why would Sydney do that?

More to the point, why didn't we, given we will possibly deal AVB to the Swans and have a 2nd round pick and then we could have used that pick plus a pick next year to get May.

I guess we will know all in 8 days.

They need the points for Blakey's son in their academy father/son.

would have been handy.

We’ve spoken about drafting and trading, when do we get to talk about cheese?

Maybe it's because Carlton have got 26, 28 and 43 to offer and we've got 36 and 46?

I can only tolerate this suggestion if:

  • we stop gnashing our teeth with Hogan - there are positives to him staying or going to Freo. It is now up to Hogan - should he stay - to ameliorate his negativity and silence, and to get on with his MFC career wholeheartedly.
  • we locate the funds and bid for May - if necessary passing off a player or two who is in some limbo but with subtle promise for the future
  • we snatch KK and Preuss ASAP! These two will take us to the 'gapless' status we need onfield. Stuff big-name, ageing monolithic possibilities from elsewhere.

I don’t see how GWS can possibly hand over Settefield to Carlton for only pick 43. Injuries issues don’t devalue him that much. One of the 2 clubs is out of their minds.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
