Hogan, Weed and Jackson ? 

Where have you heard this if you don't mind me asking - and would MFC even want him back (from an off field perspective)?

Not sure we want him though, mate.

Thinking on it further, I'd absolutely take him back for a future first, so effectively it's May and Hogan for the future first. ;)

Really?  I'm sceptical. All he wanted while playing for us was to return to WA. Spent every off season there, bought a house there while contracted with us, friends are over there, enjoys the "lifestyle" there, etc.

The grass is not always greener though.
In fairness to him, the 12-18 months prior to him leaving would have been difficult and maybe he has grown up and understands that he might be on his last chance to make a career for himself.

I think we have to be very strategic as we've got very little currency to play with at the moment.

Both McDonalds will go and so if we can get picks for them, we might be able to package a deal.

Fair enough. How confident are you he leaves Freo?

If his body and mind are both right I'd be delighted to have him back  as long as it doesn't cost us too much.

You would think he would want to hang around at Freo, coach seems to know what he is doing and the future looks bright.

The Dees , on the other hand...

Watching the way Freo set up and their rising midfield, it shows you how past it Ross Lyon is.

Weren't you saying 2 years ago that Hannerbery was a done deal to the Dees? You've had more missed then strikes it seems....

The thing is we desperately need another bigger body in our Fwd line..  and there is not a lot on offer.. so it could be a case, we get him cheap-ish and we welcome him back.. i cant see it happening myself.. but i guess anything is possible.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
