Sure itโ€™s not his shifty brother - Ben?

That's what Bell is attempting to do.... unfortunately for him he would never be able to reach

ย 

Both Mahoney & Bell would lose their credibility if they backdown know .. would have no back bone in future trades.. imagine Mahoney accepting pick 11ย

If we roll over without a top 5 pick...Mahoney & the club are as weak as [censored]!

That article is silly. Suggesting that we need to โ€˜soften our stanceโ€™ for it to happen. Freo need to pony up, thatโ€™s the story here.ย

I hope you're not suggesting we employ Ben (aka Bend0ver) as a recruiter. Freo could work with him.

Paywall, can someone breakdown the main points of this article?

Freo areย stalling up toย 6 teams in trade movements;

I would thinkย Adelaide would already haveย a dealย in place with Gold Coast for Pick 5 or possibly Pick 3.

Freo are holding up Melbourne, Gold Coast, Brisbane,ย Adelaide andย possibly West Coast/Geelong.

We wonโ€™t know either way for 12 months. But you canโ€™t use that as an excuse not to give Chicken Nixon a run as your avatar.

Will you be MIA for those 12 months and then be reborn like the phoenix (that could be your next user name)ย  Seems like an unfair bet.

Proposed trade:

Melbourne give Hogan <----> Fremantleย give picks 5 + 23

Melbourne give pick 5 <---->ย Adelaide give pick 13ย 

GC give pick 19 <--->ย Adelaide give pick 8ย 

GC give Steven May <------> Melbourne give pick 23ย 

Fremantle

Get: Hogan

Give: Picks 5 + 23

Melbourne

Get: May, Pick 13.

Give: Hogan

Adelaideย 

Get: Picks 5 + 19

Give: Picks 8 + 13

GC

Get: Picks 8 + 23

Give: May + 19


Thoughts on this trade?

A lot of posts here suggest that we want to trade Hogan more than Fremantle want to recruit him. Nonsense! As such they pay OUR price or miss out. We shouldn't bend over to help them. They won't let Neale go to Brisbane for peanuts!

The other point that intrigues me is that many posters believe that selling Hogan means getting May. Is this guaranteed? I would think not. Conceivably we could go into 2019 without Hogan and also without May.

Imagine the furore if that happened.

What's that old saying ............ 'A bird in the hand .....'

They really are playing stupid buggers.

Just because they suckered GC with the Lachie1 (Weller) trade last year, and Lachie2 (Neale) is a better player, they think they should get more for Lachie2 than Lachie1. Sorry, it's a case of GC paid way overs and you got lucky; not a case of Brisbane offering unders.ย Grow up and do the Lachie2 trade for fair value (pick 5) and everything else goes through. If you keep inflating the value of your second hand Toyota while down-valuing the other guys second hand Mercedes, everyone will just think that you are not worth dealing with.

If this trade goes ahead I wud like to keep pick 5 to use on Smith. I know all the talk isย the back line but with lever coming back and our midfield being a year older and better I feel the back line is set Smith adds that outside run should take tysons roll from day oneย 

you want 3 smiths in the team?

How many flags did GC win with SOG. How many Sydney with Buddy. How many Carlton with Judd.

The answer " what is your emergency "

Esprit se corps. All for One ...one for all. And all those looking over your shoulder for that promised pallet of paper bags at next season's end ....bugger off.

All those without the ticker to play 4 qtrs without sooking....join them.

Playing footy at 100% isn't for everyone. I get it.

All about the wave...

Yes, but please state the nature of the source in the first place.ย  ย  Admittedly anyone can make up an unnamed source, but at at least it's something - at least it's an indication that the poster is not just stating his own hunch.

Anyone can make up "a source at the club", a "mate who spoke with the player", a "cousin of his manager" or whatever.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fieryย interaction between Max Gawn and Steven Mayย at the end of the gameย was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneโ€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingโ€™s Birthday.
