Who's with me in the delusional 'Keep pick 6, but get May with other picks' club? We're still alive.

I was going to point out that you were delusional, but I see you already acknowledged it. ?

He doesn’t want to be at the Dees mate.

Thats the only reason all this is happening 

I know all that

but he is a contracted player, who can assist the Weid in becoming a better forward for a year. 

I just get the feeling the Weid is still a touch green. 

Just my feelings...

Sorry but I will spew with that deal. We paid more for hogan as a 17 year old. 

Here, use this...

Its going to be 6 and 23 from Freo. 19 to be used in the Lobb deal.

Michael Gleeson reports that the final and biggest piece of the interconnected mega trade is expected to be completed in the next hour.

The essence of the deal is:

• Jesse Hogan and Melbourne's fourth round pick will move to Fremantle for picks six and 23.
• Melbourne will trade pick six to the Suns for Steven May, Kade Kolodjashnij and a Suns fourth round pick.

WTF? why bother with a swap of future 4th round picks 

Whether he goes or stays, I expect this will put a dampner on Vic clubs recruiting young blokes from WA.

FYI all, the official thread count including deleted posts is already at 400. The milestone is already reached. 

Negotiations resume but an argument has broken out over biscuits

Weid is VERY green, WYL. 

Very promising but only a 20 gamer still growing into his frame.

I think the real problem is paying too much and losing them for too little - that is the real question

Come on Dees, push for 19 over 23

I'd be staying away from any draftee from WA or Moggs creek

I don’t think so sue. Cripps is from WA and there’s never been any noise about a return there. Simon Black from WA had a long and fruitful career in Brisbane. The AFL is littered with interstate players who settle in. Furthermore I believe this has been as much driven by the MFC as it was Hogan driven.

Rumour is we get Cerra !

Yes and Opposition Teams will target him hard now on the ground. A year of transition with Hogan would have been an interesting proposition

Dunno about paying too much, but I expect club's would always be losing them for too little.  Almost unavoidable.

I reckon this is one more pick perhaps 20 or a player away from being a good deal. 

If this is it.. I won't be overly happy.
