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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
