DistrACTION Jackson

Dogs will keep the momentum rolling and win by 11 points with Bontempelli to kick the winner.

You can get him on your member card so I don't think much can be taken from that.

I really hope not.

I did my membership renewal this morning and requested Dom on my card (obviously). Must be a good omen. Probably should've put Jesse on instead

Apparently Jones is paying $12 to be Melbourne's highest vote getter. Surely that's worth a bit of a punt?

I don't get the wrist slashing on this thread? Sure they didn't play well yesterday but overall the season was a success and it is great to see the Demons and Casey building a strong relationship. People saying that we were pathetic, Sydney were flogged in a Grand Final by the Hawks and are now back there. These things happen, it doesn't mean all the players are useless, just sometimes it doesn't click on the day. You all need to chill out.

The funny thing is the only reason they were both so successful was by drafting and developing great talent. Cats: Enright, Selwood, Bartel, Lonergan, Taylor, Kelly, Ling…. the list goes on. Hawks: Lewis, Hodge, Mitchell, Roughead, Franklin… again they drafted many others. It seems these teams have forgotten exactly what got them success in the first place- building a side who grow together and learn how to play at their peak as a TEAM. Which is exactly what we are doing at the moment. Hopefully it translates into a long overdue premiership!

Not for Reiwoldt. Maybe someone like Peter Wright, but even then it would be a tough call.

That would be an unmitigated disaster and I would probably no longer barrack for the club if that occurred.

I agree. Plus I would go one further. If it was known that his Father had X amount of time left, I would advise Jesse to stay in Perth and start his pre-season later.

I agree daisycutter. I really don't think much would've changed in Hogan's head since the start of the season, the media is just coming out with articles to try and sell more papers/get more readers. They know that by putting a title like 'Eagles in hunt for Hogan' they will get thousands of Eagles and Demons fans reading the article. He may well go but I don't buy into this idea that he has changed his mind. If he does go we will get the best deal possible as both Freo and Eagles will want him.

Dirty [censored] with Willamstown

Maybe we should all buy one and if he leaves we could do something similar to Cleveland fans when Lebron left? JK That must be old….. has the emblem from 2015.

How do you know if we were even chasing them hard?

I also think that going home to spend time with his family may help sway him to stay. It would be tough but I would imagine any parent would ask what their son really wants, and advise them that life is short and a footy career is shorter so make the most of it.

Start preparing yourself.... at least that way you will be extra happy if he stays.

2nd round?

Darling and Gaff for Hogan and 2017 First round?

So happy Frawley won't win another flag. Got one cheap one but that;s it!

How good would it be if the Dogs beat the franchise next week>?

the Bont/!!!!!1 woooooooooooo

Terrible decision...... but I'll take it! reminds me of when we played the dogs, Mclean ducked and got a few frees

How good is some of the Dogs lesser lights. Smith and Dunkley playing very well.

I hope I am as well! Though my preference is for Hogan to sign a 5 year deal and stay with his mates.

I personally believe we are, but time will tell.
