Premiership window is open now. No room for players who won't help us hoist that cup. If he can find more opportunities elsewhere and the compensation is suitable I see no reason to hold onto him. I wish him well if he moves.

If you would like an interesting perspective on this trade, have a look at what they are saying at Dockerland about the potential deal. Quite a large number wed to the idea of of waiting until free agency and getting him for nothing next year, or that he is only worth pick 5 if they get a second round pick back, or just worth a first rounder straight up. Some posters see his value, and are salivating. Either way, interesting reading from their perspective. Clearly some think that key forwards must grow on trees....... https://www.dockerland.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=1&Itemid=251&id=492595

Agree, the compensation for free agents prevents is from access to the top 10 in this draft. Have to play hard ball with Freo. Even if it drags out other deals and we miss a deal for a May we must stand firm.

Dees need to play hardball with Freo. Hearing Luke Darcy's comments about Freo flipping their pick 4 compo from Brisbane for Neale to Port for picks 9&10, and then sending 9&10 to us for Hogan feels a bit light. I think we stay firm and state that pick 4 has to be one of the picks we receive for Hogan. Especially when Freo still have pick 5 this draft and a future first rounder in the cupboard.

I actually don't mind Koladjaksfndhdhdbsnij as a player. He looked good early on, bit has really disappeared with concussion issues. I'd be keen to give him a go. Would be happy with a 3rd round, but would give a second rounder for him if he changed his surname to Smith (just so we didn't have to spell his name on the forum)

I don't want May, especially if it means giving up a top 10 pick we get for losing Hogan. May will be 27 at the start of next season, and will cost a huge chunk of salary cap. Lever, Frost and Omac developing down back. Not to mention Keilty, Petty and Baker all drafted for back half.

I'm not convinced Hogan will leave, but if we got 2 top 10 picks in this year's draft (Neale pick and their own) and held on to them (not that keen on May) I would probably need to change my underwear.

Good luck to him with his future endeavors. Was a handy player for us when called upon.

People would be screaming his name from the rooftops if he played for a big Vic club. Truth is most of our list is underrated because we don't get prime time games for casual observers to watch. A few Friday night games and people like Omac will start getting the respect they deserve.

A true demon. Bucked the trend when other clubs senior players wouldn't come and play for us. Bernie got his marching orders from radelaide and became a very important player for us. He will he missed! Now send him out to stud and sign his kids up in 18 years.

His tackling was a feature today, a vast improvement from when he last played at the tolp level. His aerial work is good, just need the hands to hold the marks. I'm keen to see how he goes against the Giants.

Maybe, just maybe Weeds put it together enough this week for him to retain his spot going into next season. He has also been working on his ruck craft which gives an extra dimension to his game that he didn't really have last season. My expectations are low, but I wouldn't be surprised if played well enough to retain his spot moving forward.

Could just have a commemorative jersey celebrating what a disappointment of a club we have been in recent years. I'm thinking a red and blue white strip with a white flag in the middle of the jumper.... Seriously our finals hopes are on the line and we roll out some nonsense jumper.

If he keeps this B.S up he will just become a miniature version of Caroline Wilson.

Lewis is pretty safe with the ball. I'm under no illusions that he could out run a tortoise, but he is not the problem. His job is to lead and steer the troops off the ball which he is doing a good job of. Our defensive spread is pretty good, and Lewis has been huge helping that happen. Last night wasn't his best game, but he wasn't near our bottom 6 or 8 last night.

Damn, I was hoping to get the CEO role.... Good luck to Pert, I think I would have been a more entertaining appointment...

Would rather the filth overpay home and then watch him fizzle

I really like this signing. Coming from a professional sporting background is a huge advantage in terms of commitment and preparation. Should be able to take to the AFL system like a duck to water. If he has the goods he could be big max's replacement.

Gus is a smart footballer. I hope he can stay injury free and play some more footy like today. Great game today, reminded everyone why he was a top 3 pick!!

Great debut! He smacks of Macaulay Culkin though. I thought the game against Essendon was another home alone movie...

Suprise selection for me, but I like it. We need to uncover some more players, so worth a shot. Balic is a bit stiff not to be given a crack but he won't be too far off.

He played alright against the tigers. Keep playing him.

He is out of contract at seasons end and probably is a key signature going forward. He has some haters, but I think most can agree he is best 22 and he is an important signature going forward.

Would love trac to signs on long term for two reasons. 1. He is a gun and will be an elite talent. 2. We get to rub it into saints supporters his whole career because they passed on him!!

If port implodes and misses finals, and we get in and at least win week one, we could be a preferred landing spot for wines. I think if it's money he wants he will go to norf..
