I remember a kid in primary school told me and the other kids his Dad had a Ferrari. He was always late to get picked up by his old man and one day my mum was late as well. He was picked up before me by his Dad who was driving a red Datsun. I questioned him and asked him why he made up the story about the Ferrari, he answered "So I was popular and made friends."

I want to know what your mum was driving ET?

We actually have bemoaned in the past not having a plan B but I have noticed that both Watts and Hogan spend time up the field and although Gawn has pushed forward this year he did so more than i have seen before on Saturday.  That makes us unpredictable.

When it does get crowded up forward and Jesse can struggle in a very closed forward line they have moved him up the ground to very good affect. I would much prefer him kicking lots of goals but against Richmond and Collingwood where he didnt really impact the scoreboard greatly he took 10 and 9 marks and thats because he went further up the ground. ( even spending the last parts of quarters as a defender)

Good coaching for mine  ...

Trades are suggested and many are actively worked on through trade week. 1 in 10 or so turn to reality.  That the trade was not completed does not mean that it was not on the table, and looked likely to be completed. Would you prefer I said nothing?

The unrepresented percentage stated would NOT prefer that you said nothing. I for one appreciate most people's points of view.

Again, this is not going to come down to money (unless Freo do offer him 15 over 10 which would be idiocy on Hogan's part to refuse)

If the boy wants to go home, then he wants to go home. Nothing anyone can do if that is the most important thing to him (as is his right).

However one thing leaving would not provide is legacy (for what it's worth).

if I was advising him I would remind him of Michel Jordan's comments in relation to Lebron James leaving Cleveland:

'There's no way in hindsight I would have ever called up Larry or   Magic and said, hey look, let's get together and play in one team. But that...things are different. I can't say thats a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys...'

Granted the situations are different but the salient point is he can forge his own destiny and beat the best around him, rather than leave to make being the best much easier.

I'd actually prefer us to trade one of these two then Nibbler. Really think he's going to be something.

You'd rather trade Dom Tyson than Alex Neal-Bullen?

Assuming this is for Prestia right?

there is absolutely no way in the world Dom Tyson would agree to a trade out of victoria. 

the club would know who they're prepared to offer up in order to get someone like Dion to the club, i'm certain Dom isn't once of those players

Personally think Neal-Bullen is going to be a very, very good player. I like Tyson and think he'll continue to be a good player also, but have a hunch Neal-Bullen could end up being better.

If the question is who's a better player now, Tyson or Neal-Bullen? Well of course Tyson is, he's got three years development on Nibbler who's in his 2nd year.

Yep, not saying he would.

Just staggered that AngryAtCasey would rather trade him than ANB. That's up there with the more astounding things I've ever read on here.

There was a post where someone said that they knew a recruiter from another club, who thought ANB could be one of the steals of his year. As with Hunt, Harmes, etc, some players need a bit of time to get the body right, the attitude right, the confidence in place before they can produce their best. I think Stretch and ANB could become very good players for us.

I would say the vast majority of players that delay talks in the second last year of their contract end up staying.

Don't want to lose him, but 15 million over ten years for a forward that doesn't lead, sounds a bit much. Needs to lead more or we need to learn how to deliver it the way he wants it.

Nice try troll

Club going all out for Prestia... Pick 3 would have sealed the deal. I understand the frustration. Dees still very confident he will be in red and blue 2016.

there's nothing wrong with that post

i'd say other things to you but I'm not allowed

Honestly if he leaves for home factors may as well desolve  the draft as its a joke.. Completely makes a mockery of it as it was designed for clubs to recruit & build a list.. Not develope players so clubs like freo, swans etc can walk in & get a ready made gun! 

Keep on saying at least the Epl et can sell players which allows them to go & buy a bunch of players ..

Hasn't proved himself at AFL level yet. Got on the end of a few against Geelong last year but really hasn't shown much yet. That said, his form has warranted selection for a month or so and I look forward to seeing if he can bring something when his chance comes.

I'm bemused that some on here still don't get what we've got with Tyson! He is only 22 (ANB is 20). Recruiting him is only marginally shaded by the Vince deal, and he has at least six more years with MFC after Bernie retires!

afl.com.au Footy Feed said that Hogan is currently back home in Perth

Surely that is not true?

Posted

Don't know if it's mentioned anywhere else but Hogan didn't train today because he's in Perth visiting family as reported on AFL Tonight. 

If there are any pickpockets on here after a 15 million dollar cheque, head to Melb Airport and wait.

    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
