Slow progress. I don’t really trust Craig C. 

Hope the KK deal gets done soon. Maybe waiting on what happens to Hogan and May. 

Thought this one was going to get done 'early'?

Melbourne has also progressed in talks to secure Gold Coast rebounding defender Kade Kolodjashnij in a deal involving a future third-round pick.

That sounds about right to me. Still think it waits until the May deal, both clubs will want to work the little trade around the big trade.

Gold Coast must have academy kids they want the picks for next year.  Good result for both parties.

We make off like bandits

I just hope that Hoges stays with the Dee's. We need him. He's had a tough time the last 2 years.  Thing is, sometimes you have to stop and think what a person

Future 3rd round pick? Sounds like an absolute steal to me.

Does this mean we can't trade our future first round pick??

Doubt it, as the AFL have come out and said they won't be strongly enforcing future trading rules for a year or two yet, so long as it gets the tick of approval by what's his name (Ken Wood), then anything goes.

suntan terry was saying the other day you have to use one first rounder across the course of five years - no idea when the afl made the change or announced it

I think this trade will get done very quickly now.

Let's hope so and the price is a future 3rd, the suns don't need anymore picks this year.

I'd imagine that one of the picks we got today (62 or 65) will probably be used.

They have 5 picks under 29 (2,3,19,24 & 29) and no academy kids coming through, so I'd think they'd prefer to bank some points for next year.

That's a fair call. Given the events of today I think this will get done first thing Monday.

Agree.  It will send a signal to Freo that we are ‘out’ of the bs deal and that there is no trade for May.  

Kk should be announced on Monday 

Maybe once we recruit him we should call him Special K

Horse?

The way Mahoney talked about this trade, it seemed to certainly be linked to a hypothetical Hoan trade.  

Now that that has fallen through (and hopefully we won’t be returning their calls) I think this trade should go through fairly quickly.  

Both teams seems to be dealing on good terms.

Have looked at this trade and impressed.Get it done..... 

Need to get it done. KK will be a good addition

But Mahoney is no good in your eyes? How’s the hangover?

If you're sure that we're announcing the deal Monday, why post later that we 'need to get it done', as if it won't get done on Monday and there's a chance the deal may not go through at all?
