So Freo have now thrown 3 players into limbo:  Neale, Hogan, May. 

I wonder how long May will wait before he makes his next move:  sign at GC or look elsewhere.  Practically, its tough for him to keep hanging on.  Eddie or Ned Guy probably picked up the phone to call him as soon as they saw the stupid Freo offer.

The issue is the clubs May wants to play for don’t have the currency to trade for him. We were only talking to him about free agency next year and the Hogan situation gave us the Currency to move up the timeline

That offer was a ludicrous one to make in light of the new rules that in my opinion will make key forwards more valuable to their teams. 

I think the club should start a new discussion with Hogan and his management concerning him playing with the club in 2019 and working towards negotiating a longer term agreement as the year unfolds.

But is it better than Collingwood's plan A?  May was bound for the Pies just a few weeks ago.  Reckon they see their chance to sneak in the side door and get him.  

 

I think that was reliant upon moore leaving.  Filth have cap pressure im told

Hello Josh, Peter Bell here just wondering what you think of our offer. ....Josh, Josh..are you there Josh..... (in the background. Who is it Josh. Just some insignificant time waster from Freo.

They would sell the farm to get May.

SEN suggesting that 11 & a Future First might be the best Freo offer.

Right now we have less currency than his other suitors. 

My point was that the Hogan deal being further delayed may have May starting to look elsewhere and his other suitors banging on his door!

If you don’t have the picks you don’t have the picks then. Don’t make such a ridiculous offer.

My gut feeling says we'd take that.  Its not what most wish for /want////blah blah.... but it IS TWO 1st rounders. Their first rounder will be a much better pick than ours next year  ;);)

Of course they do. They think we will cave. 

On the other hand, Freo fans aren't known for their intelligence or knowledge of footy.

Maybe they don’t want Hogan as much as everyone thought they did.

They just don’t rate him high enough.

I once had a collectable car, I  had a guy pester me for years to buy it, but wouldn't make an offer. Finally he offered me $2000. 30 years later that car is worth over $250000. I didn't bother to call him back. I think he missed out because he couldn't see what he was looking at and was too greedy.

There is six full time staff from each club working on these trades. It’s not hard to say if we trade Neale we’ll give you 5 and 11. 

The restriction of resources doesn’t stop hypotheticals in a deal.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
