Farewell Jesse Hogan

[layzie 33,995]

Can’t believe there are still people who want T-Mac to return to defence. 

[FireInTheBennelly 4,099]

To me it looks like we're ready to accept unders so we can do a trade for May. It needs to be made clear to Freo that if May is taken away from us by another club, the unders will no longer be available, and they'll need to produce more than what's been discussed. We'll be in a position where we need to start looking for a next option after May, and that will probably cost us more, caused by them, so their cost.

Tom going back now if all players are acquired is a step backwards IMO.

Stupidity confirmation.

The only time TMac might be in the back 50 is in the last 2 minutes of quarters when we're  trying to stop opposition scoring.

Or if we are playing in a prelim final against the Eagles. You , unfortunately have a very short memory span.

Yep! I just woke up! 

The ball isn’t in Freo’s or little man Peter Bells court! I don’t care what Freo value because it stinks and the rest of the competition agree... 

Pick 5 is the foundation to move forward...  If not Jesse stays! I would be asking for Langdon and if I were the Dees I would be in his ear to leave. His brother doesn’t even want to go there! Or Tim Kelly. Freo are on the nose...

Freo want Pick 5 and more from Brisbane... But want too give nothing for Jesse. Please...! Freo need to get off the grass.

The Dees are the seller and have control. If the Dockers don’t want to buy at the asking price we’ll so be it. 

Sounds as though you would touch your toes for Pick 11 & 23...! 

I never said we should do that deal, i just said that 5 + Ed Langdon is a fairytale right now.  We might dig in and pull off 5+23 if Freo cave, but the mental health rumours suggest otherwise. Getting Langdon instead of 23 seems fanciful imo

If he plays a full season he wins the Coleman at FF.

Yes total outlier situation when we were bleeding goals. Akin to the last 2 minutes of quarters.  It's pulling the emergency cord.

The context of the question was using Hogan as starting CHB next year.

Are you seriously suggesting that we'll ever start TMac as key back in the future?  It's over - he's a key forward.

No I’m not but there will be multiple situations where Tom will be used down back other than the last 2 minutes of a 1/4. The coach clearly recognises he is still our best defender and uses him so. I would have a long chat to Goody to find out what his vision is  for Tom before he is consigned as a permanent forward. He might have expectations that he can use Tom as his go to man a la Croswell.

I'd rather Frost defending than Tom and that's saying something.

 I am aware of a massive offer from NM to Oliver (who has some vague connection to them) that Oliver refused. This one never made the media.

 

Nice story 'GNF'.

Up there with Little Red Riding Hood & a few other tall tales.

Make it plausible by using North, they're throwing cash around like confetti. Problem is their offers are for free agents and out of contract players. Oliver is neither.

Olivers vague connection to North is that they are an AFL team & he is an AFL player.

It didn't make the media because it didn't happen.

I have no doubt when Oliver's next contract is due he will get some very large to massive offers and we will need to take good care of him.

Failmantle have some very strange ideas on sharing the money love. They signed Bennell on a 3 year $650k pa contract and kept Lachie Neale on $450k pa. There is every chance that Bennell will be gone soon (or at the very least get a new low $ contract) and if LN goes as well, that is a lot of money in the kitty. As well as any retirements, delistings and current underspend.

So you are right. Lots of salary cap space in the land of purple muppets.

The fact they resigned Ballantyne says plenty about these people from planet purple.

I'm with Lobby Lloyd with this one

Actually, I'd heard that one too.

Who is we. Do you mean we as a club or you and me.

If the latter, where did I give you permission to make up stuff about what I am thinking.

Anyway who are you?

If I had to choose between the posts of you and GNF, I know which I would believe and I am sorry but it wouldn't be yours.

Sucked right in.
