Jesse Hogan coming home, given GWS targeting Cadman?

just need to put a little more detail on the table, or otherwise you are just trying to create the appearance of having connections. 
 

Mate, when I have given names in the past I get smashed when the deal does not eventuate.  In this case I have sworn to secrecy on the contracted KPF we have targeted since mid-season.

Don’t expect a name, just a few more details rather than the current “the sun will come up tomorrow” prediction. Otherwise, there is no point saying anything at all.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's a tough gig being @Grand New Flag.

Do you know what the hold up is? Convincing the player, or satisfying the player's club on a trade?

Can we at least get a height range so we can be sure that they are tall?

We may not be done! Apart from likely departure of Weeds we are working hard on a KPF. 

Brace for a possible 6pm surprise!

I wasn't going to pay too much attention to today but i'm genuinely intrigued now. There hasn't been a murmur in the press about us chasing a KPF so looking forward to see what unfolds

Schache is tall.

Just now, Cheap Seats said:

Schache is tall.

Great thinking, so we can safely assume they are 195cm plus?

Is it Josh Bruce? Grand old.

God i hope not

Brian Taylor - contracted to 7 though

Bruce or Schache who would you take?

Misses the easy ones. (Bruce)

Can take a mark, and is strong in the contest. 

With absolutely no Information I would love us have a crack at Tim Membrey at St Kilda. Runs hard, takes a good contested mark and kicks goals and goes down back when needed

Or Jake Riccardi 

One of my good friends was heavily involved with Carlton years back and flicked me a message that Jack Watts had just done a medical with them after about his third season with us.

I scurried so excitingly to demonland to drop the massive news thinking I was the first with a scoop only to be politely correct by the demonland faithful that Mr Watts was indeed having a few frothies on an overseas end of season trip with the lads and I was in fact a goose.  

I ended up giving my mate a call and just got the standard "lol" response which was deserved.

A couple lads I know are working in similar circles now basically in their dream job.  They're always giggling at these rumours and keep their cards very close to their chests.

If they were ever to leak out info about targets/trades, then it would be game over for the career.  So I always struggle to believe people when they're advised of these little scoops about contracted players or potential targets unless it comes from the target or there managers first.

Loose lips sink ships..... and end careers.  Why would you?

Yeah expected to hear his name come up more this trade period.

Mate let it go. This GNF vindictiveness is getting boorish.

If we are letting Weid go, then perhaps GNF has something to it...but i would consider Bruce or Schache disasters and may as well have kept Weid.

Why not go Ollie Henry

Josh Bruce won't be going anywhere.

His manager has already come out today and said that Bruce will be playing at the doggies next year and may look at even playing as a defender.

There will be NO out of the blue recruitment of key forwards. Schache will join the dees which has been well reported in the media for the past 2 days now.

 

SEN had Josh Bruce's manager on this morning and he couldn't possibly be any more adamant that Bruce will be a dish licker next year.

Ben King would be an interesting one. The only KPF in contract that I would've expected as gettable.

Which is a disaster. I do not see ANY point given we have Weideman. Couldn't care less that he is a pick 2, he's never delivered at AFL level

He signed a 2 year contract earlier this season, contracted to 2024
