My grandmas toaster told me that Kent for balic could work out for everyone. I tend to agree. Kent has seen others leapfrog him, and balic is a kid trying to get back to his home state, never really settled over there. 

I've always liked toast and Kent for Balic sounds like a good trade to me.

Just had a chat with Dr.Turf about the whole Watts trade at work. Said he spoke to Rocket Eade and there are big rumblings about Hogan involved in a 4 way trade with Freo/Carlton/Adelaide/Melbourne. In summary, Hogan to Freo Lever to Dees.

He said he hopes not, but that's what he heard.

 

Absolute rubbish that we would entertain trading Hogan to acquire Lever! ?

Completely agree. Turfy was gobsmacked when he was telling me. He wasn't confident, but that's what he heard. Just thought I'd pass on the info of the chat I had with him]

It would be staggering without doubt. 
Do you not think Dr Turf ( and brother ) just might have some handy lines of info ?

I am sure that there are a few around who have 'handy lines of information' but we are talking about Lever here not Sloane! Hogan for Lever is paying way 'overs' and not even Prendergast would have contemplated such a trade! ?

I dont see it as likely either if for the Lever/Hogan aspect. That is if thats all there really is to it. 

Its always been my concern that Hogan is EXACTLY what Lyon needs at Freo...and right now

Freo have pick 5.  Ive not the time right now to sit and work on a convoluted  trade-around but Im not dismissing the idea out of hand. Not until 2.00pm on Thursday the19th

I'm starting to get concerned with the amount of Hogan to Freo rumours that keep surfacing. Where there is smoke there is fire. Many website and papers coming out this rumour from a similar angle.

 

They're mostly coming out of the Freo camp. There may be some truth it to but I dont think we'd be looking to offload Watts if Hogan was on the way out.

Regardless, while I'm admittedly in the "Trade Watts" camp, if there's any inkling that Hogan won't stay long term, it would be a mistake to offload Watts unless there is talent coming directly into the forward from his trade. There's no doubt that trading Watts stands as a huge risk.

If Hogan did want to go I'd be looking to use the picks we get for him to get Lynch from GC.

I highly doubt he's leaving though.

Agreed. We already paid 2 x first rounders for Hogan and since then he's proven himself at this level. If we were gonna lose him then that deal would be one I could well and truly live with.

Maybe l misread it. However the day comes that Jack does leave, the Watts critics will regret it and the simple minded ones that bag him constantly won't know what to do with themselves. 

The critics wont regret anything...

I hope and think if he is traded to another side he will prepare and play to the level as expected.

His best football is elsewhere and not at the MFC. No one loses out of this trade. Win MFC-Win Jack. 

If Jack has a tremendous 2018 at another club. It does'nt mean he would have had a tremedous season at the MFC.

I think talk about Hogan being traded is BS...

But if it was on the cards. The Dees would already have had conversation with a key forward recruit.

Tom Lynch would be the man...

This thread is about rumuors so if Hogan was to go. I would think this is a fair scenario;

Fremantle IN- Hogan

Melbourne IN- Lynch

Gold Coast IN- Pick 5, Freo first round 2018

Don't forget who owns the Suns. Lynch is a current Captain and contracted for at least another season. 

The AFL's investment is looking desperate at the moment. A new coach will come in and Gil will make sure this doesn't happen. 

I can't possibly imagine any trade that would compensate for Hogan going. As a very gifted key forward, a very very rare commodity he's worth a hell of a lot more than an intercept backman no matter how good Lever is. 

The draft would be no good to us and I can't think of a player who would fill the hole. Can't see why the Club would offload JW in these circumstances. 

The place is gone to hell if this happens. Will put us back years structurally. No forward again.

Wonder if this is going on in the background whether they would consider Stringer. Would he be an upgrade on JW? I'd rather keep JW but I certainly wouldn't rather get rid of JW and have no one. 

I choose to think it's all crap until the trades are finalised.

Not technically a "key" forward. He's someone you use to build around key forwards. A good small forward is useless if you don't have a dedicated target nearby.

Can we all Agree that a Hogan trade would need to be at min 2 first round draft picks , and in this supposedly shallow draft pool  picks 1-10 standouts. I dont see anybody on the Freo list that they could trade out to gain the required 2nd draft pick.

not gunna happin , cappin

Gil has no say in Tom Lynch's career. If he wants to move clubs he will. If GC Suns want something for him they will trade while he is under contract. The ball is in Lynch's court here... If the Suns hold him to serve his contract. Good luck too them being compensated when he walks. Gil will have to give them priority draft picks.

Lever wont be part of any trade for Hogan.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
