Hogan is gone. You are spot on. No chance he plays at Melbourne next year. He is headed back to Perth. Be interested to see if he gives a farewell speech at the BnF tomorrow. Last year at the BNf he could barely string a sentence together.

ASK west coast supporter how they feel about Judd leaving

Got bigger issues to worry about than his foot

I’ve heard 1.2 mil on the table. To simply accept May in exchange for Hogan would be us getting completely and utterly bent over. May is a good average backman. We’ve gotta be strong with this deal. We are not to get screwed otherwise fans will be furious

We cannot on trade that future pick this season tho can we? My understand is that because we traded a future pick last trade period, we are excluded

THere was a quote from his management in the article posted by Fox Footy on Facebook. He said he is open to moving if a trade can be done that suits Melbourne.

No they have confirmed it

That’s what I am advocating for mate. If we get something done that allows for that, then ok. But if not, if it’s one for one, no deal

Greg Denham is reporting that he is freo bound and we get May as part of the deal. I would not be happy with simply receiving May. We need outside mids with speed and if we can’t fulfill that deficiency then we won’t go deeper next year. I realise we have problems down back too, but Hogan is worth more than that. i don’t won’t him to leave tbh. Something is brewing tho.

Somebody has had a few post game lemonades methinks

Fantastic news. I just saw quotes from other mentioning the City of Yarra. I expect we can make this work. There is plenty to play out though.

There will be a massive push for this to host a lot of Women's Football. This will appease the lefties at Yarra Council. If done right, this could be huge for the club. We will no doubt partner with a lot of community groups and clubs and offer them access to the ground. That is how these things work,

Spargo's couple of handballs that hit running players moving toward goal were elite. It was what impressed me more than his actual goals. He made those around him better. He has proper footy IQ...unlike athletes like ANB who spend the day running a lot. positioning and front and centre cork were also notable.

My view is that I saw McCartney standing with Goody on Sunday at the VFL. There didn't seem to be any ill feeling. I'd say that perhaps there has been some conflicting messages and goody wants control. I will see my club source on Saturday and will see what he has for me.

You don't find it odd that he was the only player not there and the MC just skipped over him as if he didn't exist? Why would you not just say "Number 4, James Harmes, who is unfortunately away sick today'.

Maybe the curse of Norm Smith has struck. That 'ol number 4 should be retired.

The absence of James Harmes is concerning. He was on Instagram posting, so clearly nothing major wrong. Robbo simply skipped over him, no explanation for why he wasn't there. Most unusual. Could it be discipline reasons? Illness.? It's very odd.

There are rides and games that will be set up in front of gate 2 at Yarra Park. There will be plenty of kids activities. Shouldn't be hard to convince

I was not comparing them as players..I was comparing their stature. If you reckon it won't be hard for this kid to compete at AFL level given his size and weight then I dunno what else to say. I noted that Hunter was a horrendous pick, but am happy to give this kid a chance. But at that weight aND height he will struggle in the first 3 years. Yes there are exceptions, like Brent Harvey, Callub Daniel etc. But for me, picking a kid this dmall, who bases his game on competing, is a but if a risk. The AFL is a giant step up from under 18 football and school age football

Oh but I did..played. APS footy with him..sooooo

172com and 70kg lol.........remember Cam Hunter...Son oF ken....RUBBISH selection

Shutttttup muppet

? what number are we thinking about giving Jake? Surely he takes the number 9 ? Don't, under any circumstance, give him 4 or 31..cursed numbers at the MFC

I am in the camp that says this is a good deal. Forget the fact that we paid overs..whether you agree with this or not. We have brought in a young start, proven player. We have enough top end young guns sitting on our list..Tracca, Oliver, Hogan, Viney etc...The time is NOW. We are not building for the future anymore, we are planning for the next three years and a serious tilt at the finals. People should be happy that the mindset has changed. Taylor will still find us something with the picks we have and I am sure we get Balic from Freo, who until has injury just before the draft, was set to go a lot higher. We are making the right moves...back the club.

Great to hear from you Hocko. I have had the pleasure of speaking to you many times at games. You are a real icon of the MFC and lead the best cheersquad we have ever had. I still can remember the way you lead the 'Melbourne..clap clap clap' chant..,always alternating arms in the air. I wish you had of kept that Ricky Jackson jumper though..iconic that was.
