I appreciate that our time is now and we are doing all we can to have a tilt, but my concern is more about what is being brought in. What is out there that we are having a crack at? If you are improving your list, you can’t simply move players on and replace them with players of lesser quality. I don’t know that that will happen, but I don’t know that it won’t. We need players that improve our deficiency. Leg speed is one of those major deficiencies. If KK is the answer to that, then fantastic. He has played very little footy in recent times though.inwould have thought we would have been after a quality established mid, and maybe we still are, but it looks like other clubs are ahead of us. I will be happy to be proven wrong and see us land a big fish. I admit that the recruiting in recent years has been very good. 

Definitely understand your points as well. Time will tell. I feel like we’ll get a net gain. Taylor, Mahoney and co haven’t let us down yet.

Barracking for them as a youth is an especially flimsy reason when he barracked for Adelaide as a youth.

I’ve said previously that I thought this move was 50/50 go home/go to Freo, who have been courting him since he came on the scene. I would guess (and it is only a guess) he doesn’t want West Coast because they haven’t spent the last 6 years trying to lure him. Or at least, not to the same extent.

Purely money,nothing less or nothing more.Players dont go to average clubs,will terrible coaches for any other reason .He could win a flag at WC & be at a better run club so saying its go home factor & then ruling out the best club is crap.It says ill be a stand out in a team that will never play Finals in my lifetime,look like the big man & make bucket loads of easy cash,with no extra games or training come September

It’s just his management saying that s MFC are dudded. It means we can’t force Freos hand and say give us two top picks or next year we send him to West Coast

What he say?

Surely Jesse Hogan is worth more than Stephen May.... etc, etc

I can't stand listening to him, but I can't turn it off.

Been a long week, trying to get to the end of the day, and I think I'm being fuelled by my hatred of him to get me there!

Tom Boyd was traded for pick 6 and Ryan Griffen (still good at the time),

Weller was pick 2,

 

Hogan is worth double of those two even combined, so what gives this foolish man any reason to believe we will accept just 5.

the stupid thing with Maclures argument isn't that we might have to give up pick 5 to land May. Most people expect that is likely to be the case... it's thats he is making trade 1 = trade 2. Trade 2 is  between the MFC and the Gold Coast. Trade 1 is the trade for Hogan is with Freo, and we should land pick 5, but Melbourne demand and expect more than just that. I don't think that the muppet knows how to do maths.... yet he is taking pot shots at Dal Santo for spelling!

Sam McClure just said it matters more how freo value hogan than ya in terms of a trade... 

no sam, if I want to buy your car I also don’t get to set the value. Jesse is contracted and we are entitled to set the price required to Break it

well freo must value hogan pretty highly since they have been after him non-stop for at least 4 years

but wgaf what manure says or thinks?

I’ve posted previously that McClure on trade radio is essentially baiting and trolling for a reaction. I would be tempted to call up and suggest that we look at trading Bugg + T Smith + Tyson + Garlett to Carlton for Cripps and a second rounder for a taste of his own medicine.
