Wow, a hindsight hero. I didn’t know that Hogan wanted to leave at the time hence the post.

Impossible to know how good he is until he plays a few Afl games. lets hope he gets a run at it

C - Jack Viney VC - Nathan Jones LG - Max Gawn and Jake Lever Viney is the inspirational leader we have waited for. Certainly time for him to take the reins solo imo, especially as Jonesy's performance could slide next year

60K in round 1 at the G and 90K in the final should hopefully be enough to move Geelong games to the G but it wouldn't surprise me at all if none of the above changes in 2019

Righto message received. Gnf is full of sht

I agree with the above. Although we came to this situation as hogan wouldn’t commit and/or wanted to go home. Thats my point. Not trying to stick up for gnf

Apart from the last paragraph it seems on the money. We wanted him to stay overall as he is a gun. He wouldn’t commit so we supported a trade.

I’d expect 4 Friday night games at least anzac eve will cause some disruption but will be fine in the years after next i guess we can expect a tougher draw after finishing 5th? Expect to play more finalists twice. Although the league is so tight playing north/port twice versus cats/Sydney May not be easier for example Aside from that much the same as usual. Dons once away. Lots of Saturday’s in the first half of draw and Sunday’s in the second half.

Spoke very well on the Trade Table show: very genuine, said he knew he only wanted to join the demons after he met Goody. Admitted his career has plateaued recently and he needs a change used hibbo and melksham as examples of us developing players from other clubs.

He is on channel 9 in a few mins. Trade Table show. Try to ignore the hosts!

Hawks, Pies, Bombers, Tigers etc have all improved their list significantly. Will be tough to even make the 8 next year. We have bolstered our defence but lost a key forward so break even at best. Luckily our list is young and talented so we should see some natural growth. Hopefully the Weed has T Mac or Viney as a training mentor. We need the Weed!! an interesting year awaits

Hopefully there is some talls in the draft to grab Otherwise I think playing less tall in the fwd half without Hogan will be the option. Hopefully Weeds continues to develop too.

Lol. Saying one thing means another? of course we all want to win a flag. Keeping your best young players generally helps with that

Really disappointing to lose Hogan. I reckon he could have become our highest ever goal kicker and dominated the comp for the next 5-7 years. Anyone down playing his value can only be trying to make themselves feel better Not much the club could have done though as he wanted to go home.

Neale goes to the lions But hogan stays at the demons. Freo do not offer enough to satisfy a deal KK traded to Melb for late pick an unexpected trade occurs bringing another player to the demons scully does his other ankle tomorrow. You don’t wanna overcompensate when coming back from an injury, rookie error

This is basically Geelong refusing to trade. Interesting to see what happens and how Kelly reacts. Doesn’t seem like a shy chap

Four year deal for Voldemort. No way hawks do that unless his ankle is ok something fishy goin on

Agree gws are proper [censored]. Hope Cameron is enjoying his 1.4 mil per year while he wins no flags. Not even putting in on field. Bad news is our rivals are stocking up on gws talent and we are not

So Kent and Scully Are worth around the same??! Got it. HAS to be more to this or it is connected to another deal. The hawks will be tough to beat again, those A Holes

This deal makes a mockery of the whole trade system. Should be worth a first rounder. Has an ankle injury but he’ll be fine in 5 months. Why the [censored] would gws not ask for more? And don’t say salary cap as they are holding firm on Shiel. [censored] joke

Yeah football was my first sporting love DZ. good to see an Aussie manager in charge but not a lot of young talent coming through. Might be some lean years ahead for the Socceroos

I came. here also for a break from the Biscuit/Hogan thread. What else is happening in the world?

The only good news is the GWS are almost finished. Shiel and Scully this year. Kelly next. They will not be the super power we thought

Let’s hope Hoges is annoyed at Freo not showing him or the club much respect and he signs on with us next year. A trade is look less and less likely. The Lobb deal hasn’t even been done let alone the Neake deal

Sigh. Don’t know why I bother. But I’ll go again. Of course every club wants to better balance their list. I asked how do you know the club think we are better balanced without hogan. It’s far more likely hogan wants to leave than the club initiated the potential trade And as I said there are no other quality key fwds around to recruit.
