I mean he's also gotten some things very right but it doesn't suit your point to mention that.

I've always thought he'd stay, because it just makes sense.  However, your assertion that it 'could' take 6 months is the comment that doesn't make sense.  There's no reason that I can fathom why it would take that long.

Agreed. Just that there's still some water to flow under the bridge, but that it's more than likely he'll stay. So if he's told the club he's re-signing it's unlikely he'll request a trade. We're not actually that much further along than we were before GNF's post.

I would suspect that the recent re-signing especially from Watts would have helped. There does seem to be an attitude of belief at the club these days, and Goodwin is very popular. Well done Jackson and Roos - whether he signs or not.

You watch. Have a feeling this is going to be a big off season for once. We'll have all our best players signed up and we'll land that big fish we've been talking about for two years.

He also said that Dion Prestia is a certainty this year. Although that rumour hasn't been proven false as of yet, it's getting there.

That'll happen. As will Hogan's re-signing, but Hogan also said he was ready to sign last year and then that he was waiting for the CBA. So this really hasn't come much further, just an educated guess.

Didn't Hogan say in his most recent interview he'd like to get things sorted sooner rather than later. Most on here took the negative that it meant nothing. Well just maybe he was alluding to something poitive

Have no opinion of GNF or anyone.  Simply saying someone is playing the probabilities and applying some logic ie:

• All involved have consistently said JH will stay and JH wants to wait for CBA. 
• CBA now known to Clubs so reasonable to conclude JH willing to re- sign.
• JH wants to avoid last years Jan/Feb fiasco around his contract
• Therefore, reasonable to conclude JH will re-sign within 6 months.

It 'makes sense', right? 

Most of us on here have believed the club and that Jesse will resign when the CBA is known.  Tbh I think Jesse will sign before trade period starts (2 months).  Do I have a source? 

No.  Logically, it just 'makes sense' as the club needs to know what it can offer incoming trade players and current OOC players, to manage its salary cap. 

Anyone can make educated guesses!

Agree. If Hogan has agreed to re-commit, his signature asap is important for 2 reasons:

1. It's a massive endorsement of the club and a huge selling point if we're trying to lure players to the club

2. The club knows how much cap space it will have to re-sign players like T. Mac or lure a big fish like Hurley.

Putting off signing for 6 months actually hurts the club.

Agree, if it happens it should happen during finals or pre draft period. It will be difficult and a hinderance  to the club in planning the pre-season as well as managing trades and offers with ongoing uncertainty about his future.

as GNF said, you're entitled to your belief, he has made some calls a long way out that have proven 100% correct and for me that gives him credibility.

but as i said, each person is entitled to read or not, i don't see anything productive coming from you getting on here writing how his sources are rubbish, if you don't rate them, simply don't read it.

i am 100% certain there will still be many posters who appreciate what he says regardless of what you post.

Would you believe they tested the sewerage in Perth and found that Perthians consume about 3.5 times more meth than us normals on the East coast.

This is something I would believe, not the least bit surprised.

Each to their own Abe but what calls has he exactly made 'from a long way out' that was true?? And dont say the Paul Roos saga.. Media experts were already drumming up for Roos as soon as the Essendon debacle it went from then on throughout the year. GNF went along with it and claimed it from there.

Actually curious to see a list of things he has gotten right over the years as you mentioned.

Kenny Buzzins must be partly to blame.

I believe it because I already believed it anyway.

I'm an atheist too, and I am unsure how that precludes me from being confident Hogan will sign. There's nothing wrong with a bit of crystal ball gazing mo, it's fun. Give it a go sometime.

No point really, you'll argue each point i make and it's not really worth the effort

i rate his posts, you don't, pretty simple really.

It sorta is your fault - you go on the attack every time. I'm in your camp and I reckon LH has nailed it; GNF just plays the odds, but I think we should just drop it. If people want to back him and pin their hopes on him, let them. It's all just in good fun I reckon.

Yep, I reckon GNF is having a good laugh...
