This has nothing to do with current form , and im just throwing it out there:

If Hogan does want to go at the end of 2017

Hogan to Freo - as a result of huge coin and the go home factor.

Fyfe to Gold Coast - I feel as if they will lose Prestia & Swallow at least and will be looking for a marketing mega star to take over from Gazza.

2M Peter to Melbourne.

All players are out of contract in 2017

2M peter is a good player/talent, but i am not sure i have him rated in the same group as Hogan/Fyfe

I'd want something else to go with him.

Throw May into the deal too then!

2M Peter was one of my past prediction for the Dees,can happen year's end. All for numbers lets get pick 53 whoever has it.

Billy Stretch is a far more superior player then Lewis and he would be on about 70 to 90k a year

Its actually very embarrassing he is getting paid that much.

Billy has earned $150,055 so far this year.

Base - $76,905 (2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year)

Match Payments -  $73,150 (14 matchs @ $5,225 - 2nd year, 3rd round pick, 11 games in 1st year)

If he plays the last 3 games you can add another $15,675 ie $165,730.

Jason Taylor came to me in a dream last night and the draft whisperer confided in me what the future held for the grand old flag and it was akin to the music of miles davis and John Abercrombie and in that dream world where white horses had heads like stinger and robbie and big jimmy I saw again my first afl game in 1964 and I was standing on empty beer cans provided by my dad and his brother and we sang the song and it was a glorious September moment but I am grey now and Septembers have been more often hollow than glorious.

Grey Wolf Grey Wolf sang Jason let me tell you of a new future because it will be blue in 2017 when we finish seventh and blue again in 2018 when we are fifth but it will be red in 2019 and in 2020 when we sing again on the last September Saturday. Tell me tell me how JT how can it be and he did and it was so......

We get Prestia from the Suns with our 2017 first pick and we swap Hibberd for Garland and we get pick 24 from the Suns for Grimes and we get pick 28 from the lions for Trengrove and we hoodwink the Dons into giving us 37 for Dawes and they take Terlich as well and and the lions give us 42 for Dunne and the result of all that is we now have picks 24 26 28 37 42 44 62 and 80 and we talk to the Giants and they swap our picks 24 26 28 37 for their 15 and 34 and we ring the Dons and we have Hurley for 15 and we go to the draft with 34 42 44 to pick up three young kids or upgrade rookies.

And he takes me to the G and we sit together and watch the first game of 2017 against the saints and in this dream this is how we look.....

Only minus Hurley and Prestia so far. We'll add those types over the next 2-3 years. Most of those players are in place.

I had to pinch myself for as I walked up through my rainforest because their laying between the buttress roots of a giant red cedar that was probably a sapling when the first football was ever kicked in hope was a man smoking a cigar and I scratched my nose because it was can you believe it yes it was no crap it was it was JT himself and I greeted him with awe and he said hi grey wolf good to see you awake.

JT I chortled my dream is in tatters mate no prestia and no hurley and he blew cigar smoke up into the giant tree and looking directly at me he sighed and said no worries old grey wolf no need to worry because these things fall out for the best and we just light another pipe and open our minds to new possibilities and we can be a deeper blue and our red years can go on longer and if you take a drag on my smoke you might see it too and I did and I did it again and again and I saw it...

JT and TV were at the bar in the Portsea pub and they were earnest and roger in their conversation and I could hear it and JT said to TV don't worry about Hurley mate young OMac is the goods and BMc and SG and JR can make him as good as his bro and prestia wanted too much coin and young salem could still be anything and so here is the new idea todd and I was sucking in more smoke under the tree to hear every word and this is the new plan I heard...

So todd we will give the giants our 2017 first pick and they will give us pick 14 this year and so we end up with 14 15 34 42 and 44 at the draft and todd you know who we are after with these picks don't you and todd started laughing so loudly he fell off his chair and the cigar was finished.

 

 

I'd offer a 4 year deal to Devon Smith on average coin and see what he says. I know he's contracted, but he could be that extra dangerous forward, run through the middle and has decent toe. He seems to have been off this year and in and out of the GWS side. He could really add a bit of extra class and x factor next year. Thoughts?

I like him, but he strikes me as a Dean Kent type of player.  Do we need him?  Do we think he could make the transition to the midfield?

I think we lack a depth of competent, consistent small forwards. Garlett, Kent and Kennedy have all been inconsistent at various stages of this year. Even if they all come good, someone like Smith would small forward depth and an ability to play midfield.

Watching the Suns and there has to be a few unhappy campers there who would want out.

No idea the contract status of a few of them but Hall, Miller, Saad and Kolodashnij interest. Most give that bit of outside toe which would be nice. 

Kolo showed a lot last year and has gone backwards at a rate of knots this season. Surely would be keen on a change of scnenery

I have heard  similar UB from a Richmond supporter with some inside connections they are chasing him, however with Prestia Punt Rd bound the issue will be cost.  At their last women's lunch in Canberra, a work acquaintance was seated next to Jack and she asked him if he was leaving.  He played a straight bat of course and gave the party line and I imagine as a Belconnen boy he would dearly love to stay at GWS. The problem for him is that their Academy (cough) keeps producing and he's no certainty to be in the 22 in any given week at the Giants - not so much with the Tigers .  

Interestingly when Hardwick was on the couch Gerard directly asked him whether he'd trade Deledio for Steele and Marchbank.  Hardwick swatted it away, but it was a very direct question which I assume has some credence.
