If the deal on the table for Hogan was pick 5 & Brad Hill ... would you take it?

Send pick 5 and Frost to the Suns for May and Kolodjashnij.

2019 R1 Side:

Jetta May OMac

Salem Lever Hibberd 

Hill Oliver Kolodjashnij 

Petracca Weideman Jones 

Spargo TMac Melksham

Gawn Brayshaw Viney

Harmes Lewis ANB Hannan

To me this is would be a significant improvement on the 2018 version of Melbourne. Shore up the defence with May while adding some class run, carry and delivery on the outside of midfield. We’ve got the grunt covered. Now’s the time to add a bit of polish. 

Be very happy if we emerged from trade week with an outcome like this. Pretty much all depends on what Hogan does of course.

 

Would definitely want more than Hill. I want 2 picks 1 for May and Kolodjashnij and 1 for Max King.

Not sure what you’re trying to say here...

None of the developments were anything to do with a public announcement and wouldn’t have been picked up by the media immediately.

It appears others have confirmed bits & pieces, but the fact remains that my source is impeccable. I don’t push for details though, cos I’d prefer the well doesn’t run dry.

Oh, I get it now... these major developments are happening, yet whilst you are aware of 'said' major developments as a third party, you are unwilling to obtain more information, but more than happy to let others know that you have some sort of information, that something, somewhere is occurring, at some stage.

I wasn't expecting a media release, but assumed you would be posting, and was frothing for it...

I particularly like this verification:

The guy who runs my sandwich shop is mates with Boomer Harvey who happened to be there yesterday.  As I was leaving with my chicken and avo sandwich yesterday we got talking footy as we often do and I mentioned that it looked like Jessie was leaving.  Sam checked with Boomer who agreed that that was what he had heard.....take it to the bank and put it on dark rye!

This is all happened!

Brad Hill left hawthorn to go home to WA, why would he come back to Melbourne?? we can't just take any player we like, only originally from VIC pose realistic options i.e. brayshaw or cerra

I get that and it’s probably a long shot. However there were stories coming out of Perth during the year that he was/is unhappy playing under Ross Lyon. Lyon himself even came out publically to try and quash the rumours. 

It never hurts to discretely ask the question. Never say never. Things change.

He doesn't play that game.

If he can't say more then that's fair enough by me.

You lose a good source if you burn them.

We get some great info on here if you know who to look for and on what subjects.

This is not your ordinary trade period, this is one we will definitely all look back on in years to come.

Peter Bell tookover as footy boss at Fremantle a day or so ago. I’ve heard he’s desperate to keep Neale where the previous administration were willing to let him go to Brisbane for their first round pick in return. The first round pick from Brisbane and their own first round pick were going to be offered to Melbourne for Hogan. I wouldn’t expect to hear anything re Hogan until we know what Neale is doing. #ETthetradewhisperer.

He’s the same poster who had a crack at me in April for defending myself with info regarding the club attempting to trade Hogan last year and it not sitting well with him...

What a hero.

Ah, you're one of those. 

Do you have proof the club did that, or just piggy backing off these rumours as if they make yours more valid?

I passed on the info...you chose not to believe it. Not much more I can do Wiseblood.

Edit: I don’t blame you for not believing it either....I mean who the [censored] am I (on an Internet forum). I was just passing on what I was told, from the mouth of a current player at the time..

Christ some of you people are insufferable.

I merely wanted to give an indication that things are actually moving along, that this isn’t all just media speculation, meetings are happening and serious decisions are being made - i.e. this isn’t the Chris Judd saga where our name is thrown in there to add more interest, or one adventurous journo joined the dots based on little evidence, then the rest jumped onto a rumour to fill column inches.

But I’m not going to spill all the beans. You’ll find out when you find out.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
