Eh?

Freo gave up a first and second round pick to get Bennell

They chased him for years just like they did Hogan

Sorry my mistake, picks 16 and 35 but received 22 back. 

My initial point has been lost anyway and doesn’t relate to Bennell in anyway (although I did suspect it may go over posters heads who would subsequently bring him into it). My point was that Fremantle chased Hogan for quite some time however less than 18 months after signing they were looking at letting him go.

    He also doesn't sook so much outside of the forward line, I have to agree I never liked the sooking.

    Just a thought...

    We’ve all seen the lack of connection between our midfield and forwards the last 2 years. Any chance Jesse had a reason to be upset, and actually helped cover over that glaring issue during his time at the club?

    I’d love him back. We need natural competitors with skills.

    When up field, Jesse's ability to pick the right option and deliver neatly was very impressive.

    And as much as his set shot action was disjointed, he was pretty reliable in front of goals, which is something that cannot be said for many of our forwards now. If I see Weid or Fritter miss another straight forward set shot from 35m I will blast a hole on my tv screen!

    Having said that, the only way I would want Jesse back is if he has a baby with a long term partner and becomes a Mormon.

    There may be an obvious answer to this question which escapes me right now, but who was the last player to leave Melbourne for another VFL/AFL club and then come back? Anyone since Carl Ditterich?

    I appreciate that it happens rarely across the competition, although there have been some notable exceptions, such as G Ablett Jr, Paul Salmon, John Barnes and Trent Croad. But it's rare and, I suspect a guide to suggest that it won't happen this time, either.

    RDB came back as coach does that count

    Gary Hardeman left to go play for Sturt in the SANFL before returning for final season in 81.   Can't think of a recent player though.

    Would he come back all tried and tested and clear under a new coach? I wonder....

    That means he would have to wait for at least 2 years and probably longer if he had any desire to come back.

    Could that mean partners? Would make him twice as settled and he's already used to being double-teamed.

    Good get. Keenan (with the fabulous full name of Peter Patrick Pius Paul Keenan) played for Melbourne in 1970-75 and then again in 1981-82. Big Carl's last year with us was 1980.

    Has there been anyone since?

    It's been a real brain teaser! Something I just expected would have happened at least once since then.

    He had reason but I still don't think it's a good look on field. To be clear, I'd take him back.

    So many elements of fantasy in this thread. 

    One of them unmentioned though: Bell in  the end had his hand forced in taking on and coughing up for Jesse. Based on Bell's behaviour to date, I can't see any scenario where he would trade Hogan back to us for peanuts. 

    It would be too much of a loss of face (and please - that's not intended as an Asian stereotype). No way he would give up pick six (plus swaps) and take a fourth round pick from the same team as recompense two years later. 

    He would get crucified by the very same fans who forced his hand in the first place.

    If he wasn't named Harley Bennell, and we were just talking about some bloke from Freo with off field issues, injury problems and who is struggling for a game so badly that he's possibly being switched ends; there's no way this thread is going the way it is so far.

    ...

    BOOM

    • 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.

      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?
