    I don't want Jess to leave, but it is what it is.

    I think We will get pick 5 & i hope some more picks from this deal

    Pick 5 to Gc for  may & KK and maybe another player

    Then we use the rest of the picks for the draft in November

    In the morning we give a late but good pick (maybe 46) for KK. Freo are spooked.

    Freo concede they must give Neale to Brisbane for 5. Now Freo are in a total mess.

    Freo give 5 and next years 1st for Hogan.

    GC take the Freo 2019 first for May.

    On draft night we swap 5 to Adelaide for 8 & 14.

    Even if this happens I’d prefer Hogan to stay.

    Freo give us 5 and 30 and some swapsies to make it appear like they had a big win

    The picks however are/or will be worth more than 5 and 23 in a points-based system.

    Regardless, everyone is up in arms. 

    We give 5 and 30 to GC for May and KK (and maybe another seemingly irrelevant swapsies).

    Everyone's arms are now flapping at full steam, threatening a widespread meltdown. 

    AFL commentators and pundits say stupid stuff.  

    Some posters on Demonland patiently explain the benefits of the trade while others don't bother.

    Bell turns up with his chest puffed out, makes ridiculous demands for Neale tells Melbourne his got a late 1st rounder and some pocket lint for Hogan. Finally does the Neale deal, plays Adelaide and Port against each other for pick 5 pick swaps, finally does a deal with Adelaide. Comes to Mahoney is all his smugness. Mahoney says No deal. Hogan will go to West coast next year, with a premiership under his belt.

    I predict the trade period will finish at exactly 2030 this evening

    I predict they wont do a 2 hour TV finale next season.

    Everyone is taking about how fake and manufactured this whole thing is.  It is backfiring spectacularly for the AFL, who truly believe the public are idiots.

    Hey Petraccattack - did I get your Kade Kolodjashnij quiz right? I'm applying for a job tomorrow and need to know if I can tell them of my Mensa-level IQ.

    Hogan is gone. We will get May and Kolodjashnij in return and that is it. Mahoney has the backbone of a sea gooseberry when it comes to trade week.

    If they are sensible they will try to get something for Frost to at get us another pick in the 30-40 range.

    I predict that if we should secure his services, Kolodjashnij will become the most commonly mis-spelt name on Demonland. And that will be an achievement following on from the sometimes absurdly simple (for example, Mitch Clark/Clarke) to the understandable...where are the capitalised letters in vandenBerg's name?

    Or Hibbard instead of Hibberd

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
