So it's not a fact but speculation on your behalf. Edit:- We would have tips 16 -36 -46 yes that would get it done, I think not.

So are you saying GCS would take pick 16 for May? Don't let the facts get in the way.

Febes, I think Freo is filled with echinoderms & cnidarians so I see no risk of them being fried.

Hey Jesse, Freo obviously don't value you. Otherwise they would make a fair offer for you. All the promises they have made over the years, and now they value at less than May (an unloved full back). Why would you ever want to go there. Lyon is not a popular coach. The club is in dissaray and they are the 3rd worst scoring side in the AFL. Perhaps it is time to commit to the highest scoring side in the AFL with a popular coach at a great club that finished top 4 without you. If you really want to go home, tell Freo to make a fair offer or you will never come to them.

Full back bad influence (according to some) full forward injured, Carlton could totally implode and ask for and receive priority picks. They won 1 less game than Stkilda so 15 is a very reasonable guess. Bris- Stk - Carlton lose free agents then GCS could get pick 8 as compo. They could have a good year other sides may crash. 3/4 is likely compensation but in no way is it a lock.

Why does everyone accept that GCS will get compensation pick 3/4 next year? What if they finish 9th and the bottom 8 sides lose free agents? Their fist pick could be around 17. They have no way of knowing what the compensation may be. 11 this year could be better than the unknown.

What if they win the flag next year? AFL compo pick no better than pick 19, do your research.

And if they win the flag pick 19. So GCS are gambling that they will be worse next year? A bird in the hand.

Not made by GM any more so there is a chance that they are OK

That maybe too early ProDee.

Some desirable outcomes are better than other desirable outcomes. One mans Natalie Portman is anothers Scarlett Johannsen. A good outcome is preferable to a bad outcome, there can be many desirable outcomes. The trick is we don't want to wake up with Uncle Bitters.

I(Freo) want to buy your house. If I offer a low price you tell me no thanks, I offer a fair price you may accept, I offer a very good (high) price you accept. I(Melb) want to sell my house. I offer to sell at a high price you reject, I offer a fair price you may accept. I offer a low price you accept. Being an eager buyer usually pushes price up, being an eager seller usually pushes a price down.

Why would any skilled negotiator tell the hoards what is happening and what they have planned? The only information they would think of releasing would be mis-information and that is not a good idea long term. No, I applaud our team and expect no news until deals are done or not going to be done. Well done Dees!

But that is yesterday.

Eclectic and original?

Alex, we don't have anything to offer for May if we keep Hogan.

I thought you avatar was Zach Galifianakis Edit:

I think Ethan could Photoshop his head on Scarlet Johannsen

No Photoshop in WA yet?

Kim Jong, is the Korean-English translator broken? (Been executed) Edit: Now this is troubling Unleash Hell (fat Kim) perving on @Ethan Tremblay

"Yet the club is prepared to give a fringe ruckman a four-year deal." What a load of crap. What is the connection? This is the sort of low caliber reporting that gives journalist the reputation that they seem to deserve. 1 We want two early fist round picks for Hogan if he wants to go home to WA. 2 We offer a ruckman a 4 year deal offering more game time than he gets at current club. 3 Journalist brains have been stolen by interplanetary travelers as a bit of a joke on the planet earth. Therefore Damian Barrett will be Melbourne's new Ruck- Full Forward on a 9 year super $18million deal according to sources. Preuss returns to writing and Hogan receives huge offer to reprise role on TV series. FFS

Bravo
