My post was a reply to the post before mine. Of course it would have been nice seeing Gaff in the red and blue for 750k but it was never going to happen at that price.

As if Gaff was ever going to come to us on 750k when 1.2mil was on offer.

Apparently Ryan Burton is being shopped around as a way of potentially bringing in Shiel. I don’t know what Burton would be worth.

Of course Gaff can be traded for however he doesn’t want to come to us so it’s a non-issue unfortunately.

What’s the reason for him being an idiot if he leaves?

Agreed. Mahoney spoke about stability in the list. I don’t necessarily think Hogan has sought to be traded however was told to look at his options if he weren’t ready to commit long-term.

I reckon there’s 8.4 million reasons why he’ll move on pretty quickly.

I’ll do a desk pop if Gaff comes to us. Gaff’s manager has stated it’s between staying at West Coast and going to North. The way Mahoney’s words are being read into is amusing, he’s a straight shooter. I know it’s nice to still hold out hope Gaff may come to us but it isn’t happening.

I read somewhere that the idea of being traded wasn’t initiated by Hogan but he was open to it. I still think he’s 100% gone.

Has it even started...?

Personally I’m not writing off Hunt and never wrote off Brayshaw, those who did were just dumb. Brayshaw has always had skill but was unlucky with concussion and injury. Like Gaff, Brayshaw is a pure footballer. Hunt is a fast runner who is still learning the game.

Hunt is a limited footballer and will never be able to do half of what Gaff does, full pre-season or not. I’m not saying there’s no role for a fully fit Hunt in our best 22 but that statement is ludicrous.

Lynch has nominated Richmond.

If you think he’s going to turn down Norf’s offer you’re nuts. It’s a done deal. #ETthetradebreaker.

Do not let Saty see this, he’ll feel cheated on.

Seems like everyone is jumping ship, what’s the opposite of a destination club? North Melbourne?

Is there a chance @stuie is back?

Neale is going to Brisbane.

They haven’t lived

Did your source get that information from here by any chance?

Hogan is a gun and gave us hope when we had none, it will be a shame to lose him. But I’m also excited to see who/what we end up with as a result of trading him, I think we’re in for a cracking trade period just quietly. #WhatdoesETthetradewhispererknow?

Thanks. The only talk over here is picks 4 and 5 to Melbourne for Hogan. Considering their lack of low picks (although they’ll also receive 22 for Neale), it makes sense, given their position, Fremantle may conduct the above trade with Port.

Excuse my ignorance but how would we end up with pick 10 to use on May? As I’ve posted previously, if it happens, the deal will be picks 4 and 5 for Hogan. What am I missing?

I was replying to a poster who was talking about waiting an extra year and waiting until May was a RFA. Hence my answer, he’ll be 28 then.

It’s a bit like people who believe in God, just because you keep on preaching it, doesn’t mean it’s true.
