There’s no guarantee, but surely that’s the argument they’d be making.

Careful, not too long ago many would have said the same about us. I’d have thought you’d realise a team’s success had no bearing on the knowledge (or lack thereof) of their supporters.

In addition to what others have said, GC can hold onto May until next year and get a top 5 pick if he leaves as a FA, so to trade him now they would need to be getting something close to that. They get the benefit of making the move a year earlier, but it still needs to be somewhat equitable to what they’d get next year.

I wouldn’t be so sure that this comes from Hogan alone. I’d suggest you approach this situation with more of an open mind, and look at the opportunities it is opening us up to.

I am the gatekeeper, all information flows through me and me alone. Follow the link below to my blog, like me on Facebook, Snapchat & tinder #newsbreaker #hearditherefirst Yeah, nah, couldn’t be bothered these days ??

Christ some of you people are insufferable. I merely wanted to give an indication that things are actually moving along, that this isn’t all just media speculation, meetings are happening and serious decisions are being made - i.e. this isn’t the Chris Judd saga where our name is thrown in there to add more interest, or one adventurous journo joined the dots based on little evidence, then the rest jumped onto a rumour to fill column inches. But I’m not going to spill all the beans. You’ll find out when you find out.

Not sure what you’re trying to say here... None of the developments were anything to do with a public announcement and wouldn’t have been picked up by the media immediately. It appears others have confirmed bits & pieces, but the fact remains that my source is impeccable. I don’t push for details though, cos I’d prefer the well doesn’t run dry.

Twin brother, taken about 50 picks later, and nowhere near as good.

It’s easy to see from highlights why he’d be a great fit for us. Consistency may be an issue. Ideal player to push Lewis out of the side, footy smarts pending. Gotta admit, I liked the look of him as a draftee, but have seen precious little of him at the suns.

I think he’s simply not the type they need, or he doesn’t fit the list profile. Dew would want to build the list in his own image, and maybe his talents are not what he values. They also need bulk list turnover to effect a cultural-shift, and are light on assets to do that.

Be my guest. Clearly someone in one of the other threads has heard similar.

I’d assume it’s the only way he comes. Long been a fan, although I’d question his hardness.

Major developments this evening... won’t say much more as I don’t have all the details.

Surprised if the suns are happy to let him go. Great talent, poorly developed; much like young players on our list in years past.

To be fair, I found it inexplicable that they weren’t able to properly exploit Lewis and always felt a good team would find a way. His crab-like lack of mobility means he has no other option than loopy handballs if you play him in the right way. Brain-fades were just icing on a [censored] cake.

Would depend on who is in power, but in all likelihood this is correct. Probably won’t be named after him, but it’ll be the physical embodiment of PJ’s legacy.

I think it comes down to a sheer lack of respect for North. Why would anyone want to go there? And I just feel that Gaff is about more than money.

Our initial offer was 7 years, before he had an amazing season & pushed his price up. I’m told our offer is the same as West Coast’s, not sure if that extends to the length of the deal.

I’m quietly confident too, but I’m not really sure why. I don’t know him, and what I’ve been told is that the club itself expects him to go to North if he comes back to VIC. We shall see.

Honestly just taking the [censored] with that one. I heard a month or 2 ago we were looking into Hall, but nothing since regarding him. I believe he is seen as a fallback option if we miss out on Gaff, which is unfortunately likely.

Sunny days ahead

I reckon today he well & truly earned his place. They both did. The thing is, Lever can be so damaging with his ability to create instant turnovers.

I think some underestimate the advantage gained in mismatches created by moving a player between a KPF role and a midfield role. Forcing the opposition to make changes on the fly is where you create opportunities.

Current value as a KPF who has suffered a season-ending navicular injury? Just think about the perception of that in the marketplace: suffers navicular injury, then quickly put up for trade... I think his value on the market has never been lower. Most clubs would be wary of offering too much.

Most supporters in general, of all clubs in all sports, I think you’ll find.
