now this is the trade tv show id watch. Only one emerges alive - and gets all the trades for their club.

If I recall we offered our first and a second, but then changed to two firsts. for hogan, I really don’t see how we can’t command pick 5 plus next years first. We should be getting the best deal instead of whatever we can get just to get another deal done. It seems .. wrong.

lol, of course we have some faith, we are finally close to being a power club again after all these years. Doesn’t mean we can’t be annoyed with getting way unders for a player we had high hopes would help lead us to a flag and could be one of the better forwards in the comp. Especially after taking a stance we want high compensation for this player. with lever, he was out of contract and wanted to leave for the dees. We had “the upper hand” and eventually caved for overs. wheres the overs for hogan when we are losing the player?! In contract and hasn’t requested a trade.

Trading Hogan for May is still a disgrace. MFC always get shafted in the deal, sick of it. I'd lol if May got suspended during the finals and missed a potential GF.

5 and next years first is totally reasonable for Hogan. we should only be taking “unders” if we just won the flag .. which we didn’t.

Mahoney: “We think he’s going to be right up at the highest that anyone has been traded for and we think that Fremantle have that opportunity with some picks that they may gain.” "Basically, if Fremantle want to get Jesse Hogan, they know the deal they have to give for us and Jesse's aware of that. "They haven't spoken to us about anything that entertains us at all about doing a deal."

I think he was referring to this quote from Mahoney the other day: “If you stack up a 23-year-old key forward and everything he’s done over his career stacks up against everyone so we think he’s right up with the highest anyone’s been traded for and we think Fremantle might have that opportunity with picks they may gain,” Surely 5 + next years first is closer to a fair trade than 5 + 23 - if he ends up being traded.

This is true, however MFC should not except either 5+23, 16+17 or 11+16. 5 + next years first is a better starting point. we need something closer to two top 10 picks.

For sure. We already saw Hogan move up the ground this year. If he can sneak inside 50 every now and then and get 1 on 1, watch out. In the goal square with 2 blokes on him - no.

It has to be two firsts minimum or GTFO. Lever out of contract - two firsts. Gibbs 28yo - two firsts. GWS want two firsts for shiel. + how many more examples? If we took anything less than that, it would be one of the worst trades of all time. Hogan stays unless freo pay up.

I'd be disgusted if we traded Hogan now. If we didn't get two firsts at least, that would be embarrassing to say the least. Freo can GAGF, Hogan is happy to stay and if used wisely, can improve our side so much. Dont need May. Hogan > May by a gigantic amount. Keep Hogan out of the goal square and we win.

I just wonder if our awesome core young players will keep the band together ala hawthorn long term, rejecting huge pay offers. I really, really hope so.

Whoever is #1 at hitting targets inside 50 should be the next trade after lever if we can get him, we must be ranked 17 at this, only slightly better than Collingwood.

Will adelaide want 2 first rounders for him?

Worsfold has said a second rounder is fair. Pick 27 it is.

I've heard on radio (SEN) from a close source that he is super happy at melbourne?
