Nope, I'm positive Jesse isn't going anywhere this year and have been saying this the entire time.

They seem to have freed up some cap space (well $300K+  anyway)

I think it's absurd that they think we should offer draft pick compensation according to the size of our Lever offer, and yet they couldn't fit him into their cap because 650k was their maximum. They want to come out 150k on top in equivalent draft picks when our list is more shallow and aren't stacked with players. We have to pay 800k equivalent in draft picks? This skews the system towards top clubs because we are the ones that come out even and they are the ones that get value that tips them over their 650k cap value. They made no sacrifices by trading out players to give Lever a bigger 800k offer, now they expect to keep the players they didn't trade AND get players worth the extra money? 

If Danger move to Gold Coast on 1.5million a year, would Geelong expect to get the equivalent in picks and players? That would mean they're getting 700k extra in player talent and GCS are giving up 1.5million. No, I think they should expect to get 800k in value, exactly how they valued him with their cap squeezing.

Now that Lever didn't finish in the Crows top 10 at B & F.

Surely we can tell them that  Pick 10 &  27 are off the table LOL!

Contracts and relationships mean [censored] at the MFC

Rubbish.

Jack broke his own contract twice that we know about by not meeting minimum standards in preperation.

Conspiracy theorists trying to link the Hogan noise to the Watts trade will be disappointed

I would start at 3 first rounders for Hogan. Contracted player who is a key forwArd that we payed 2 first rounders for originally.

Since then we have developed him from the age of 17 to be primed for next 10-12 years. 

3 first rounders is what I feel is needed to get it done.

3 first rounders? you've got to be kidding. reality is, he has a lot of talent but he has a lot of holes in his game.  defensive pressure is horrible, his game day attitude and staging for frees is a culture killer and his kicking for goal is very hit and miss. lever got 1 first rounder and he was in the AA squad. hogan isnt remotely close to being an AA forward unless he fixes these things.

I agree with the essence of this post, but Jesse's trade value would be two top 10 picks. You seem to be suggesting he'd only be worth one first rounder in line with Lever. However, CHF is a position a lot harder to fill than CHB, if that's even the position we're saying Lever occupies. 

Reckon it's a moot point as Jesse will stay IMO, but if he does decide to leave, I'm comfortable knowing our FD would ensure we'd be adequately compensated.

Jesse is staying with our club, he said so himself. Given this, can I please suggest we quash any talk of him being traded and what his value would be?

That has a direct bearing on the level of compensation Geelong yet for him leaving.

I really don't know how the scale works but you'd be thinking mid 20's??

If we're to apply some recent Demonland logic, I think it's now fair to assume that with Hogan's announcement that he's staying, Jesse must be fully supportive of the move to to publicly castrate Jack Watts and send his carcass to Collingwood - perhaps even part of the sinister MFC clique behind the chilling conspiracy.

Maybe if Watts goes to Collingwood he can still kindly dart the ball into Hogans chest on game day for us ?

(Aside, anyone else worried about Hogan not kicking for goal from outside 50? That is one thing that Watts does do well)

Yep, this concerns me. But not to the extent that either should stay or go. I'm more concerned that both need to offer repeat contests and develop a genuine hunger for kicking goals by believing they're always in with a sniff - regardless of whether they're being man-handled, double-teamed, receiving poor delivery, being mistreated by the umps, or, especially, if the opposition already has the ball. Own the forward-50 and make the defenders sweat. Like it's your territory and they're the ones behind enemy lines.  

It all starts today.

This is the real finals.

Petraccattack - living on the other side of the globe, I'm used to getting up at ungodly hours to watch the football. But did you just set your alarm four hours in advance on a Monday morning in anticipation of Trade Week? #fistedforever.

I can not wait for Trade Radio to start, I havent heard Terry Wallaces gravely yet soothing voice since last trade period.

This is what footy is all about.

I get up at 6.30am every morning to go work in a panty-factory. And then trudge home to write for a porno magazine at night. Forget the glamour - every day sucks or is about sucking.

Postscript: and I would assume it was binman who was the one with the legitimate gripe for having to get up early?

We don't need to wait for Trade Radio when this morning's news on 3AW is informing us that Hogan has confirmed that he is not leaving Melbourne (despite his Perth meeting with Fyfe)! ?

I believe he's verbally agreed to terms - so close enough.

Also heard on 3aw this morning that Lever was spotted training with Viney on the weekend
