Yep, he smells like cockburn.

Surely BBO would have an ointment for that

Don't be surprised if Andrew Brayshaw comes into serious discussions. 

What why gives nothing! If we trade and he is part of the equation MFC have taken eye of ball and still play Cinderella! A big NO from me!

[Maldonboy38 6,390]

Never easy fearing an absolute gun forward leaving the club while contracted, especially that the premiership window seems to be opened wide. But the footage is the sealer - we plan for a post-Hogan tilt at the flag.

Sorry to see him go. Loved his footy, but his personal griefs might be weighing a bit too heavy. I for one am proud that our club is treating him as a human being before treating him like a product.

I’ve heard we’ve asked for Hayden Ballantyne thrown into the package.

Weird to see that footage and make all this stuff sprouted become a reality. I knew it was happening, but seeing that and having that moment was strange!

It's like seeing an ex with their new lover in public. 

I feel dirty. 

And I want to cry.

If we get Brayshaw and first rounder, do we still trade the first rounder for May and opt out of the first round for the 4th year running?

Considering Andrew came from last years draft, then i'd say yes.

Lol this thread is now officially worse than trade radio.

Exactly. Or pick 1! Personally I still can’t see them being much chop even with Hogan.

GC is in the comp which is the issue

He's been waiting for this moment for how many years? Wouldn't want to be washing his pants tonight.

Honestly hes gone too far down the path, wouldnt want him back now

Is it just me, or is there a bit of Tom Scully about this?

Not at all.  This is much, much different to that.

[CHF 2,720]

I get the feeling that there is a lot in play for the club this trade/draft season.

We must have had some pretty solid commitments from players or clubs that they will trade with us if we have opened up so many spaces on our list and are willing to look at possible trades for Hogan, Tyson, Kent and VDB. After all, we do not have any early picks in the draft at present.

I do not see much in the way of free agents looking at us.

I think totally different scenario.  1 left after 2 years for money.  Whilst I think Jess will get well paid, he has given 6 years and wants to go home.

You can’t seriously compare Jesse Hogan to Tom Scully ...

So would I, Dub, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not the end of the world in terms of our depth if he chooses to leave.  I'd much, much, MUCH, rather he stay, but we're covered in case a McDonald or Weideman goes down with our ability to swing someone forward (Frost), potentially play a resting ruck there more (Preuss/Gawn) or go through some of our mid sized forwards (Melksham, Petracca, Fritsch, Hannan).

Sounds to me like you're assessing Jesse's value to the team and weighing up whether or not we might improve the list if he was traded

Now that he's actually touring Freo's facilities?  Yes, I am.

Let it go, my friend.  Let it go.

Coincidently, Martin toured the GWS facilities in 2014...

...Is it just me, or does this scenario seem perfectly set up for:

[Jesse Hogan is about to sign at the Dockers, he looks up, and a montage plays in his mind]

[Jesse smiles as he reminisces about the good times at the Dees]

[Jesse looks to the East...]

[Cue music, maybe some cliché 80s love song, or Al Green 'Let's Stay Together', for example]

[Jesse gets in his car, and drives cross country through the night, top down, hand tapping on the door]

[He arrives in Melbourne, parks the car hurriedly across a few parking spaces, runs across Gosch's Paddock]

[Jesse runs towards Goody and the boys, who are also running towards him]

Jesse (in tears): this ..... this is the most beautiful day of my football career!

Goodwin: I know mate! Tell me about it. We got 5 and 6 AND Gus's brother, AND Freo have to pay US half your salary!

Jesse: w ....... what???

Goodwin: Now f**k off back to to purple freak land, the rest of us are going down the pub to celebrate.

Other players: yeah, f**k off Docker! P*ss off turncoat! etc etc

[Jesse drives back across the Nullabor playing Taylor Swift songs all the way]

Firstly, we don't know who will end up having the better career when it comes to Angus and Petracca and secondly no conclusions could be drawn between Andrew and Cerra even if we could.

It's an irrelevant observation with no answer.

Never said Angus will have a better career than Petracca.   He has gone past him,  however.
