There is a good chance I will be four days older but is that what you had in mind bb?

Not really Old.  More along the lines that I would think something would need to give before friday. I really cant see the club going into next year with this as an unknown, nor can I see them wanting to even go into next week without some certainty as to Mister Hogans commitment. 

Its all well and good for some to remind us that he still has a year left  but as it was he  or his /and or his management that stalled things I should have ask y why. There was no indication back then of the family situation other than possible  go-home-itis.  His Fathers health may well put a different spin on things but why that cant be resolved to everyones best outcome ?

If this is purely about money, resolve it. If this IS about family, that too can be resolved  ( as far as can be helped )

Any which way , announcement or whatever , I expect something to happen before Friday

and yes we'll be 4 days older

Probably rubbish. Anyone know who runs this account? It's not an AFL endorsed user is it?

Use of the AFL logo would be unwise if not affiliated...

My gut tells me that if a contract isn't signed then a trade will be done this period, we can't be waiting around for him to screw us over in 2-3-4 years time

So Barrett and Ralph have mail that seems to be totally different. I don't think anyone knows what will happen.

Could that be the club leaking conflicting versions, so that no one really knows until they make an official announcement.

It depends how badly you want to keep Jessie.

Right now nothing can be done without his agreement.

While we all want a decision we do have a couple of skilled people handling this who have not put a foot wrong so far.

Patience is a virtue.

If he wants to go back to WA this trade period it is not a good one from our point of view.

We might all just have to wait to get the best result

I actually think the contrary.  I would have thought this is by far the better year  to trade. Next year we're backed into a corner

Could also be that the club has said nothing and these two are guessing, each in the opposite direction.

I wish. My best source is Max Gawn's old basketball team mate who just keeps telling me what a great guy he is. I tell him I want more and he tells me Maxy hates talking footy when with mates. So sorry, not I.

I suspect this is the case, and the club either has no new info, or they're in total lock down out of respect for Jesse's personal situation.

My fading memory tells me neither has a first round pick this year to offer and I am not sure we are in any worse position next year. If he wants to leave he still has to satisfy us with a trade.

    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
