Why do people post these statements without supporting evidence?

This thread would be a lot shorter without those sort of bald bold statements.    I wish posters would at least say either this is my opinion/guess or here is my source whose credibility the reader can evaluate.

I meant it’s nighttime, which is when somebody said we should get some news.

This is not a shot at you Patches, as I believe this is probably likely, but what does a club have to gain by talking down a player's trade value publicly? 

Well I think Melbourne have unintentionally shown their hand by publicly admitting we can’t sign may without hogan leaving and now freo are trying to make us panic into thinking we won’t get the deal we want for hogan and miss out on May. If the club stay firm I believe freo will give us the two top 10 picks

Agree, a slip of the tongue Josh would want back

Ha ha.  Some things can clearly be only a matter of opinion since in this case the only proof is for those posts to be banned and then see how long it takes to get to 300.

Meanwhile in a parallel universe we can continue with assertions like:

"Hogan doesn't think the Freo wage offer is large enough". 

And compare the two threads.

• Tasting Notes by Billy A

  Nose: Sweet, rich and spicy fruit, with sugared lemons and limes, granny smith apples, honey and caramel.

  Palate: Toffee sweetness, apples, a hint of vanilla and a rich dark fruit background. Water lightens things with more orchard fruit, but without diminishing the richness of the dark fruit hiding underneath.

  Finish: Dusty wood, raisins and sweet fruit leaves

  Comments: A solid sherried whisky sitting at the bottom of the Glendronach range but punching above well above its price-point.

speechless by that florid description

Agreed. I caught on late. Went to an event at Whisky & Alement last year and had it. Went to buy a bottle the next day and couldn't get it.

How bad has this thread become..... 

Be great to hear some news about Hogan.

Not sure why we'd panic. Much prefer Hogan on the list over May, even if we play Hogan in defence for the first few weeks of the season, while Lever gets fit.

I just don't get why people seem to be scrambling to get May in. Our rebound defence dominated when everything clicked for Lever and that was without frost who clearly should have got a game earlier.

Looks like we are getting closer:

"The last bit of news for the day, which we must stress is little more than a whisper, is that Steven May had reportedly requested a trade from Gold Coast to Melbourne.

Given the Demons had already claimed they didn’t have room for both May and Jesse Hogan in the side, you would have to think some progress on the Hogan-to-Fremantle front had been made for that development to have any truth to it."

Deadline for Jesse tomorrow then?  Take your pick:  Melbourne time, Perth time, Bali time!!

We were still getting scored against very heavily.

Something to do with Mahoney listing stiffening up defence as 1 of 3 priorities. Hogan at chb is speculative

Welcome Steven. Close enough is good enough for me.
