Very Jaded

And this is why Freo is a joke of a club and have had no success ever. Get over yourselves and get moving or you’ll end up with nothing.

Me too. It’s gonna be Lever 2.0 I wonder if we bundle KK in that pick 5 trade. Maybe 5 for May and KK? And some late pick swaps?

I've never wanted him to go, while I thought he was committed to the club. Now it is clear that he is not committed, so I want him gone. There is no point holding onto even the best players, if they are not firmly embedded in what you are trying to achieve. If Hogan signs a 4 year extension and stays, and doesn't umms and errs about his future every year, I would be thrilled. But he has never done that, and we now have a chance to trade him to significantly better our list. It's time to go.

I want him gone. I want May. I don’t want another will he won’t he year. I don’t want a player who isn’t all in. I want to improve our list and he feels surplus to our needs. He isn’t committed to us. He needs to leave. We have supported him for years. Gave him everything we could. He clearly isn’t interested, not even now that we are on the verge of serious success. He’s gotta go.

If Hogan ends up staying, he better sign a long term deal. If this is just him going “yeah nah I’m gonna wait until next year to go to West Coast”, I would be incredibly [censored]. The worst case scenario is that his foot is stuffed. Such a Melbourne thing to happen.

Are we at 200 yet?

I tried. I can’t imagine the truth is worse than what I’ve made up in my own mind from watching his insta stories.

Hmmmm DM?

Just landed back in Melbourne. What’s new?

Which we all hope ends in the exact same way all their other desperate bids have.

So apparently it is possible to get over home sickness when it’s a 4 hour flight away. Fascinating. Also suck it North.

He is very good depth and we all talk about our inside mids like both Viney and Gus haven’t had injury concerns. Who is to say Viney can play 25 games a year? Next year? Maybe ever. With Viney injured, we saw the value of Tyson. If he wants to stay, I’ll be happy to have him on our list. If he wants to go, I hope we get decent compensation for him. He is not a bad player.

Wouldn’t that be so typically Melbourne?! If his foot is cactus, we have just lost our chance of seriously improving our list to win a flag, AND we have lost one of our big talents.

He refuses to sign a long term deal. No point holding on to something that is never going to happen. The club is right to push him to leave now. Max value, injury an unknown and still contracted. We hold the cards. Time to go.

Sounds like him and Gus could buddy up. Gus could be a good mentor and give him some advice on the confidence thing. From concussion to 3rd in the Brownlow- the story of the helmeted hero

Honestly St Kilda are joking and I hope one day we snatch one of their players for SFA. Which would make sense as pretty much all their players are worth SFA, hence ladder position.

Who the feck would voluntarily go to GC? Plenty of Vic clubs who could use him. He really is not a bad player, he just can’t play his best position at Melbourne. Will go play inside mid somewhere else and be very good. He could be Carlton’s second best inside mid and free Cripps up a bit.

No pressure to kick any goals at Freo, as it’s not the game plan?

So over this. Thanks for your services. Good luck in Freo.

Don’t worry. Clubs that are crap to deal with, get what they deserve in the end.

Completely agreed. We are a club that gets stuff done and are fair to deal with. That’s why we get so many deals done unlike clubs like Essendon. You would hope Kent would have enough respect for the club that drafted and nursed him through loads of injuries, to ensure we don’t get screwed. If he doesn’t care, then honestly he’s no big loss. Either you’re with us, or you can get stuffed.

Is what’s missing a club that isn’t a basket case?

Great now I have to learn to spell his name.

Freo have been that fucken desperate to get Hogan, they’ve literally been stalking him outside his bedroom window since he left Perth. Also they’re a joke and a basket case and their shitty on field performances are starting to cost them dearly. Lyon is definitely on thin ice. No way in hell they miss out on their golden boy. They will give us either 2 top 10 picks or a top 10 pick and a player, whichever we prefer or whichever is easier to get. I will laugh so so hard if Hogan stays, then next year asks to be traded, Freo try to low ball us, we tell them to pizz off, he goes to the draft and ends up at Carlton or GC. Oh the lols.

Lol enjoy North. Talk about chasing cash.
