Dr.D

we will make sure we get May. I'm confident of that.

Overall, I like the way he handles himself and gets things done but we definitely spent too much for Lever who was out of contract. But he did well to get hibberd and melksham but I'd be pi$$ed if we don't get 2 first rounders for Hogan.

steven may is a gun though and will go to a whole new level at a new club that is actually competitive. we may only get 3 or 4 seasons out of him though so don't overspend.

Good post. I think you may be right but I think Mahoney wouldn't settle for pick 5 and 23. I think if its not 2 first rounders then Mahoney would ask for another pick in the 30s to make up for the imbalance. So hogan for 5,23 and 30-something.

I'd love to sign Jesse to another 1 year extension and tell freo that we will continue to do this until you cough up what he is worth

also forward 50 pressure will be important and unfortunately thats where hogan lacks significantly.

thanks dom for your work. got caught holding the ball too many times for my liking but was really important to us when we were a basket case. he helped get us off the canvas and i thank him for that.

can someone post the Herald Sun article that is in Fridays edition. It's pay walled but it says WCE could enter the equation. I highly date WCE have the pocks to satisfy us anyway so its just posturing.

dean kent has just been traded for pick 65

why would gold coast accept pick 11 for may when they get a top 3-5 pick for him next year through afl compensation. do your research!

this beams thing will alow the hogan trade significantly

I hope for Weidemans development sake that Hogan goes. I reckon the Weed is going to turn into a unit with another pre-season under his belt.

if we let hogan go for a first and 2nd rounder then i think it takes away all of Mahoneys good work in the past. he has a history of over spending.

i just want to get rid of Hogan. Grossly overrated and doing well without him has been no coincidence. Trade him for may and be done with it and win the flag next year.

i guess thats good. but considering pick 5 and 6 won't happen we will still have to wait for free to trade to get a pick in the teens so we are still ages away

you sound like Josh Mahoney. I wasn't too pleased to hand over 2 draft picks for Lever when he was out of contract, signalled his intentions to leave and had an extensive injury history.

Agree to a degree. but I wouldn't over react to his injury. Yes, it may be debilitating but any player can get injured. just like Lever. Or any draft pick we use for the Hogan deal could also have a career ending injury at any moment.

just as i suspected. looking at his draft number and stats only. maybe watch some games. brayshaw didnt have a great debut season, especially compared with cerra.

they would all be calling each other after hours anyway. they 'clock off' at the building at 3pm.

I'm over Hogan. I just want to see him gone and see Weideman have a crack. At least Weideman has stood up in a final

not sure why everyone is talking about brayshaw? Cerra looks double the player. Some people look at his surname and live in fantasy world.

I'd take him. Sure he has been a fruit loop and has had his fair share of injuries but he'd come for free so what's there to lose. I think our club is strong enough to handle him if he goes awol. He was one of the best players in the comp at his best so he'd be in our top 5 players if he got healthy.

yes pick 5 is slightly over for steven may but if it means oscar mcdonald is no longer gifted games then I'm all for it. 2 birds, 1 stone! imagine playing richmond next year with frost and oscar mcdonald pitted against tom lynch and jack riewoldt. f#$k me dead! lever is a 3rd man up defender. we need may.

of course jesse has already made a decision. he knew the trade week was starting weeks ago. its all posturing. it doesn't take long to make a decision.

Agree. Is way over-hyped.
