I love the idea of two monster rucks that can take the odd mark and kick the odd goal. All other sides have to reconsider how to play us particularly with our midfield being so good. We have removed a weak spot and provided valuable relief/ back up for the Gawn. If playing forward they can get a goal a match each, or dropping back cut off a goal we are a much better side.With the new rules I think we are very well placed to usher in the new era of two full time ruckmen.

Waiting for the posters wailing "should have got 2 first rounders for Hogan or tell them to get stuffed". "I could have got 2 first rounders for Hogan he was under contract FFS" And from an independent reporter (total jerk) "A risky yet genius move." I have a feeling that the tough guy posters have not been any any meaningful negotiations in their lives. Mahoney 8/10 - I never give 10

Could be brutal. New club rule. No killing teammates at training.

Your opinion. Strangely with the current recruiting /trade team our side has improved yearly, finished top 4 this year and is now a favorite for next years flag. My opinion is that they are going OK. I suppose the difference is that the results I measure are based on the ladder not chest beating rites at the trade table.

The thing with May is that I think he will make all the other defenders walk taller, be more confident and less likely to be intimidated. Reminds me of a Big Byron. He and Jetta will be rocks.

I don't think he cares. He is a strange cat.

I want to win a flag! I don't care about highest ever goal kickers.

Preuss - Gawn

Better than Hogan getting one.

For Freo, with Ross Lyon coaching....not much chance.

Yes that's clarified things!

k2 I like it, well done.

So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer. Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

What did we get for a forward never played more than 17 games in a season with a dodgy foot?

Why would anyone want a player that would prefer to play for Freo. He obviously has more important things in his life than football and that is obvious. He is a sublime talent but his head is not on the footy field.

Hey Jesse we're in WA - no not the premiers We have an experienced coach - no has not won a premiership like the other guy Have some great players - well not as good as the other side Are in a premiership window - well not quite yet but within 50 years or so maybe Play exciting football - not really Ross is coach Lots of forward 50 entry's - OK not that many really Plenty of support from other KPF's - woops not us So what do you say Jesse are you coming to Fremantle? We can't pay what you want but purple would look good on you!

If the answer is I want to play for Fremantle, I have no idea what the questions is.

I know Moonie.

? Edit: Bell has no equivalent at the MFC

Funnily longer than Bell.

OK just for a moment stop to consider why we are trading, what is our goal? If we think that replacing Hogan for May is a bad deal because Hogan is a better player we are missing the big picture. If we have 3 Hogans & no Mays and our aim is not to have the most talented side but to win premierships we do the deal. So a win at the trade table means our side becomes better & we have a better chance to win a flag. If we can make our side better we do the deal, forget 23 & 30 vs 15 or 5 vs 8 & 11 or Hogan vs May KK 23. If Hogan out enables us to be better we win.

King Ding this team at the MFC that you think are doing such a lousy job got our team into a preliminary final this year. Last straw says you, I think you are sweating the little things and ignoring the big picture. I would give away Max & Clarrie & Viney for pick 87 if it got us a flag or two. That is after all what it is all about.

Thank goodness! I have been over at the Hogan thread, and I had to drop in here for some sanity. Well if not sanity, predictable lunacy.
