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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
