I might be in the minority, but Motlop does absolutely nothing for me.  He is a downhill skier who only turns up once every few weeks, and he seems to consistently go missing in the big games or waste his opportunities when he does show up.

I'm not interested in Vardy due to his injury history.  I can see us getting him and he lasts a month of the pre-season before he does a calf injury that seems to last for 8 months.  If we got a first rounder as part of a Hogan trade then I'd like to see us do something a little better than that.

My 'unders' outlook is probably a bit too negative. I think Hogan might be a flop and getting in Gaff, Motlop/Hartlett might be making out like bandits if two players contribute meaningfully to our club for 5 years. I know we should trade him for his potential as a key forward for a decade, but I think he might turn into an average forward that gets too frustrated enough to meaningfully shape a clubs impact on a premiership. Other clubs probably have this view as a fear and might also be loathed to part with #3 and Weller.

Gaff, #12 & McKenzie?

Neale won't be traded, he only signed a new contract a couple of months ago.

You're not on your own re Motlop. He has the ability to bust a game open but he is wildly inconsistent and as any Cats fan will attest to, he can make the difficult look simple but he can also make the simple look very difficult. I don't think many would be crying into their cereal at the prospect of losing Motlop.

Im high school friends with a Collingwood player and every summer we catch up for beers too. He too will spill anything regarding off season moves and other issues. I could tell you whos currently on 2 strikes at Collingwood. 

Its human nature that players will spill anything especially when your close friends with them. Its just typical aussie mates that talk [censored]. Unfortunately Saty is so delusional that he thinks because players won't tell him anything that then has a net effect on everyone else. 

DD it's ok mate, we all know it's Nayfan Buckley.

Totally agree mate.

Not only that, his ability to do some freakish stuff means that it will encourage teams to pay overs for him, and the Cats walk away looking like winners while another club gets frustrated with his inconsistent performances.

How about we use pick 12 and Colin Garland to swoop in on Dion Prestia  Surely it's worth it just for the shits and giggles.

If Fyfe is part of a deal I am extremely concerned about his leg. 

He rebroke it above where he had originally broken his leg and to me that is a massive risk.

One  would idealy want to see Fyfe play at least a half dozen games before contemplating such a massive deal.

He's nominated Richmond. Anything we offer to GC won't get him to us.

 

Fyfe is not coming to the Dees ... ever.

I wonder how GNF will back out of this one if Hogan does end up at Freo. 

I doubt Freo would entertain either of Fyfe or Neale unless they said they wanted out

With Wise on Motlop, big fan of indigenous players but would need to be 'disciplined' that being said Scott keeps picking him and he is a stckler.

Methinks unless MFC demand an answer from Jesse, or he re signs, we won't see this resolved till next year, can't see Freo being able to offer something to satisfy

 Watched Shane Yarran last few games, He's a goer,goal kicker and tough too. Doubt if he would be interested but should be on our radar if the worst happens

If he is removed from the membership packages he is gone. Ah well, at least we will be compensated well.

Not at all. I awkwardly have a club official calendar for this year which the MFC sent me that has Jeremy Howe in it (can't remember which month). Anyways he left the club a week after I got it. 

As the consensus seems to be #3 and a player if Hogan was to leave. What would we do with #3 ?

If we insist on Neale or Fyfe it may be a  reason why Hogan can't decide.  I doubt Freo would bend unless one of them wanted to leave for us.

If Hogan leaves us for a club in rebuild mode, he needs to accept he could be directly responsible for suffocating said club's ability to execute a successful rebuild. A bit like Carlton giving up Josh Kennedy to get Chris Judd. And WA clubs have notorious difficulty signing free agents, so they have to acquire most players via trade. In short, if he goes to Fremantle, it ain't for success and we'll make sure we dent their hopes of rebounding quickly.

Those get locked and printed like 3 months out from the trade period. Probably why Howe was still in it.

That calendar would be made by a company outside of the club and in order to get stock in time they would need to design it well in advance.

Offer it back to Freo for Hogan. Given the lack of real star kids in this years draft, Hogan's equivalency would be picks 1 & 2.

It would be two first rounders (this year's and next year's) plus this year's second rounder OR a ready-to-go player. Would take the pick and go at the draft.

This thread has degenerated into a farce showing up some of DLs finest Shyte talkers.  Please get another thread started with sensible debate.

So, he's gone?

Exactly my point. It doesn't matter if they are in or not in the club merchandise. The clubs includes them until they sign or leave!
