Members' Wing

What? He wrote: "know what his thinking right now".

That's fair enough.

It's "he's" FFS.

Bottom line is Matt Jones wasn't getting anywhere near our best 22 next season, and at 29 in a couple of weeks time and out of contract, what was the point of keeping him? I'd much rather see Stretch, Salem, Vince, Brayshaw, Hunt or Melksham on a wing.

I'm sure he was embellishing a touch!

If the two WA clubs call and say "we'd like Jesse, are you interested in trading him", of course you're going to say no. That's just basic negotiating, whether you are interested or not. If Hogan comes out and says he wants to be traded then you can begin discussions but you still play hard ball. We're in a position of strength with him being contracted for another year.

But Abe you're not going to portray to those clubs that you're even the slightest bit keen to do any deal are you? At least when this attitude is communicated you'll hope they realise they'll have to move heaven and earth to get any trade done.

I was just wondering. I hadn't seen anybody criticising the decision or advocating that he should get another contract, had you?

Surely nobody with any semblance of a footy brain thought Matt Jones would get another contract?

Honestly, what a ridiculous comment. Imagine a world where we could only comment on things related to our profession. Imbecilic.

What a farcical comment. By that logic, if a doctor is responsible for the death of a loved one due to their negligence, you shouldn't be angry because you couldn't have done any better yourself. Are chefs the only people allowed to give an opinion on food? Astrologists the only people allowed to comment on the weather?

Just out of interest, which players on our list do you think are fairly maligned?

We just announced the re-signing of Tyson who had been out of contract end of 2017, same as Hogan.

And the best of the lot of them, Parker, who was about pick 40.

You're quite right, I completely stuffed that up!

You wouldn't give up a third round pick for Steven Motlop? Dear lord.

Isaac Weetra remains the worst MFC player I've ever seen.

Could use next year's second rounder on Motlop (hopefully about pick 22) and this year's on Hibberd (26).

Red - I'm not an authority on many things but I can tell you for a fact, 100%, that is not the case.

He's very well liked within the playing group. Just loves the [censored] too much.

Agree. Has become depressingly familiar.

Depresses me that a grown adult doesn't know the difference between his and he's.

Tom Mitchell and Tyrone Vickery for Jesse Hogan? Is that a sick joke?!

Coming OUT OF the prime of his career.

They're 21. Riewoldt is about to turn 28.
