These numbers are honestly useless because Gold Coast were so terrible that their backline was so under-siege

Am I the only one who would want Jesse to play defence next year if he stays? also, the Kolodjashnij deal will be separate to May. Read that it’ll be a future 3rd rounder. Probably completed tomorrow

Agree with this

If we traded pick 5 to Gold Coast for May, we’d also get pick 29 back in return Suns only have 5 list spots, and would have picks 2,3,19,24 and 29. Add 5 and they’d have to get rid of a pick

Just be patient guys. This will work itself out, couldn’t be surer that Hogan will be wearing purple next year

Hate to be somewhat of a bubble burster, but if we all really valued and rated Hogan, we’d all be celebrating from this outcome instead we’re all bashing Freo

Few things going through my head currently off the back of today 1) why would Freo have done the pick swap with Port just to bail on Hogan? Strange. 2) why would Freo say this 5 days out from deadline day? Surely they knew that our demands would be 2x first rounders from the beginning. Strange again 3) we should leak to the media that Jesse Hogan will sign a long term extension with Melbourne if the trade doesn’t go ahead 4) why would hogan want to go to Freo next year after how he’s currently being treated?

This will get done, will be a hectic final day though

wait what

As long as GC accept 8 for May, then i'm not fussed getting 8 and 11 for JH

Rozee still a very good player in the 2-8 range

I think he is referring to value of points.

We should definitely be trying to secure a mid-teens pick as well as 5.

Hogan isn't a free agent next year

Guys lets just accept we're about to get fleeced by both Freo and Gold Coast...

Brown saying there is "No Way" Melbourne get 2x first round picks for Hogan. Saying Freo have the leverage because he is certain Hogan will leave next year if he doesn't this year, as well as his injury

Long is a gun. Would be a real handy pickup

Corey Maynard is a very average AFL footballer but I guess he would be considered our 'insurance' inside mid who we can bring in if a few of our star mids go down

Haven't seen that? Definitely Pittard

Worst case scenario is he says he wants to stay for now, and that he’ll re-evaluate his long term future in 12 months when he’s OOC

I really hope we can still get May..

GC won’t take our pick next year for May. No way they accept it. They will just keep him and get the early compensation pick for losing him as a FA

Thought a Hogan decision was coming tonight?

They got pick 7 in 2015 and 7 in 2016. Collingwood got pick 28 back too

Is there any merit to the rumour of Hogan for pick 6 and 14? Or just hypothetical
