Lobb & a second which would value him 12+ which I would say is about right.

I can do Bells job for him right now... Trade 1: Neale to Brisbane for pick 5. Trade 2: Pick 5 & 2019 first to Melbourne for Hogan & 2019 second Trade 3: Pick 6 to GWS for Rory Lobb and a second Trade 4: Pick 5 to GCS for MAY & KK I think Losing Neale would mean that Freo will be finishing around the same mark again next year even with Lobb & Hogan. But for years to come once their young mid guns mature with that forward line they will be very good.

I really don't want to have to put up with will he stay or go all bloody year next year. Make a call, leave now or sign a 4 year extension.

Hahah lololololololololol norf.

Shittest trade suggestion ever goes to Oliver Warren.... This also somehow got published on the AFL website... hahhahaha

Damn.. GC are going to be the toughest footy club to play against next year?

2011- "Unfortunatley the demons will be horrible again this year and couldn't be further from flag favourites"

I feel like this is tampering of some form? Plus they would now have Jesse on their books @ at least 1 Mil.

oh yeah that's a nice little bonus Not sure if there are many Victorian WCE players we would have interest in which would be getable... I like the idea of the later first rounders from WCE has it appears we are trading them anyway.... 5 for May is simply too much. Whereas a pick between 10-15 sounds like its on the money.

Hypothetically if they match the Gaff offer & force a trade in means WCE will have picks 10 & 18 this year... which on points is worth between pick 2 & 3. That would be a pretty damn good starting point for a trade. If the general consensus is he is worth pick 5 & 10 then on points we would need another pick somewhere between 15-18 to get the same value... Therefore! Hogan out 10, 18 & WCE 2019 first round in.

I forgive the Eagles for giving us the belting of a life time in the prelim now this has pretty much certainly netted us 2 low first rounders. Weirdly I kind of would want Jesse to see some success (after we win a flag) at a new club and he wont be getting that under Ross the boss.

Which values Trealoar at 2701 points somewhere between pick 1 & 2... I think where this trade is skewed is Collingwood expected to jump into the 8 the year after landing him which would have pushed one of those picks to 11+

sounds fair to me

Exactly like Lever for us last year. Either a trade gets made or he nominates for the draft.

I really think we see an opportunity to really balance our list & push for a flag in the near future if we move on Hogan now. We probably know he is leaving next contract and don't see the need to hang onto him for one last year. Mahoney can't let it seem like he is blowing his load at the opportunity moving on Hogan gives us. If we make it look like its his decision and we are losing a key contracted player then in theory he holds more value. Just my opinion however

IF we did the deal for pick 5 only there will be pitch forks outside of AAMI park. Mahoney said yesterday that they believe his value is up there with the largest trade values ever. I would prefer just to hold onto him until next year where the minimum value we would get then is is a low first rounder then. I think worst case is we get pick 5 & 2019 first with maybe a later pick swap.

They will also have over 2 mil tied up between Polec & Gaff in salary cap space. They over achieved massively this year & really began to get found out in the later part of the year. I think Brisbane & Essendon will surpass them this year & they will finish in the 10-13 range again.

Hard to turn down all of that cash... But I hope he is happy with never being a premiership player.

Sadly I agree... I love hunt and the x factor he brings. But my God he can butcher the ball. Wouldn't mind testing him as a forward for a season though. I remember him v the hawks a few years ago get thrown in there after half time and really added something.

Dont forget big Preussy

This is actually VERY interesting... considering Mahoney went on record saying we had cap space for 1 or 2 big names earlier in the year. Possibly we have a big arrival we do not know about just yet? Edit: Typo

That tells me he is gone but WCE might just be in the mix???? I hope that's not the case because let's be honest we will get a [censored] load more from Freo than WCE

Not if they are the CHF of our footy club we all clearly love.

The reality is we were in the conversation with Hogan on our books. Let's say for arguments sake we were willing to part with 900k for Gaff. Now we have freed up 850K on our books along with our reported cap space to land 1 or 2 big name players I could see us front loading the [censored] out of a contract to gaff to get him over the line for "free" It appears media outlets have him going to Norf however we might be a bit late to the punch here.

Sorry mate. Should have been more clear... IN THE SMOKING AREA OF A NIGHT CLUB.
