Pick 6, Pick 19 and Ed Langdon for Hogan.

Accept nothing less, Mahoney.

I like this but I think you're dreaming.

How big is the go home risk? (Remembering that GCS have really struggled to keep players the last few years.

 

GCS have to back themselves. If you’re going to  pass up on the opportunity to have a crack at the next Dustin Martin, Chris Judd or Nick Reiwoldt because you’re afraid they’ll leave in two years you may as well shut down the joint now.

Unless as I said they receive an offer way too good to refuse. Will the SA clubs do that? Sell the farm to get these elite kids? We’ll know more by 8:30pm tonight.

As an aside, watch the AFL increase the initial mandatory contract for all draftees in the top 20 to three or even four years soon. 20yo’s being enticed and lured by rival clubs before they’ve barely laced up a boot is a bad look for the game.

We do underestimate neale a bit imo.

Sorry mate, but no.

I think this has to be done.  Can't see a reason not to.

No surprise we haven’t had many deals done yet when we decide to rock up to the office after lunch on the most critical day....

Servers should survive but I think some supporters might not.

To be fair we weren't a required player until the chips started to fall. Only questions remains is how many quality crumbs will we collect.

key forwards don't grow on trees. neale may be good but good midfielders are aplenty, plus he's 2 years older

call their bluff, freo are now hooked

Looks like we wont make it to 400.

Meanwhile, I wonder... all this talk of how the whole of trade period and every other deal is being held up by Freo... even trades that don't seem to involve Freo a whole lot like the Beams and Shiel trades...

Have we just quietly been working behind the scenes to shift the story and put pressure on Freo to pull their tiny finger out?

I'm so nervous... 

I haven't felt this way since the prelim... 

 

Something Jesse will not be experiencing.

I'm on page 399 which includes all the deleted from public view posts so we're unofficially almost there.

Losing Hogan about to enter his prime is getting reamed but seemingly unavoidable. Obviously, we want to maximise the compensation, but unless we were getting an equivalent player in return it will hurt. May is serviceable and fills a need, but is not in the same class as Hogan and draft picks are speculative and are unlikely to have an immediate impact.
