Engorged Onion

I spent about 30 min on it - the only connection I could find was he was drafted at 48... you've got more stamina than me @Dee Zephyr

Absolutely @Is Dom Is Good - Sure, the question may have been asked of Dom, and that's ok - but a 'push' would be surprising... as they actually employed him because he wanted to come back to Melbourne...no doubt they're looking at more suitable arrangements.

because you're a nice sympathetic bloke?

thank god it wasn't 4.5 hours...

Lin Jong is one that comes to mind...still wouldn't mind him actually....

that was my dry wit @DV8 my conjecture on his worth is meaningless...

Why are folk getting upset about what pundits believe he is worth? They don't set the market...so they can think and postulate about whatever....its all going to be ok, really it is. It's about as relevant as me posting on some forum somewhere in the public domain about what I feel he is worth...it means SFA ps: he's a 5 and first round next year.

We're getting some fairly bogan names - Travis, Brayden.... doesn't suit the image...or perhaps we're changing the image

It's not that he's playing mind games, I think a lot of the supporters see him as an incredibly diligent person, who has historically been able to do some great recruiting, without us being aware until it happens... these lines of thoughts are more of a sign of respect for the bloke if anything...

Nick Stevens? Nigel Smart?

I’m sure I read elsewhere on here that, with Hogan going it’s frees up $ for anyone - in this case Gaff who is a FA to meet an asking price. if this is wrong - walk me through what point I am missing TIA

cap space @jnrmac

Is that a compliment or not? ?

Well, the first language of AFL is lying... or not airing your intentions...since when has Mahoney ever been overt when it's come to bigger names coming into the club. Not to say he is lying of course... but as someone else said...the deals are done, the rest is theatre. So, the vibe I have is that I can't help but think that if/when Hogan goes to Freo...Gaff will shortly announce the Dee's, as his asking price is more closely matched due to more cap $ - if the trade to Freo fails... well, who cares really...

I'm happy to take the advice from others on here that have spoken to Gaff's management that it is North or WCE. In the meantime - I can't help but think though, that his choice when he makes his announcement will be based on Hogan getting to Fremantle or not...

So I presume, Luke Darcy is filthy towards 'Stevo' ... Unless this is all ducks and drakes of course...

The 2nd tall for TMAC...is far different than the number one spot ...he'll be right.

Are you saying he wants a toke on our Weed?

De Boer, sounds like my mates 15 years ago, when I was trying to score at the local nightclub...

god damn your smugness/bluntness irritates me at times... but I've just turned the corner on this particular topic, thus your post is hilarious.

Nice write up @Demonland Further, Joel jagged a goal in the prelim if I recall correctly.

That feels rather arbitrary - there was a post earlier this week that showed clear outs were on average 8-9 - with some (inc WCE) on 12 last year.

Massaging us, to let us know it's on.... he filled a purpose at the time, and fit's better as an inside mid elsewhere, essendon, wb perhaps. Good luck to the bloke.

I do like that journalistic wiggle room...
