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...

definitely, but that's speculative picks for you

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: Essendon

    What were they thinking?ย I mean by โ€œtheyโ€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itโ€™s no secret that the Demonsโ€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.ย Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanโ€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningย 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    Itโ€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
