this beams thing will alow the hogan trade significantly

agree. i think because he isn't playing enough game time in his position. If he played inside mid the whole game he'd probably rack up 25+ a game and get votes.

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.

great work Vanders!! very important for our depth.

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.

Anyone with elite speed I'm happy to bring in. We're still a bloody slow footy side. If we get May, maybe Frost loses his spot. Add to the fact that Hunt may not be in the team we literally have not 1 player with elite speed which is a worry. Stretch isn't anywhere near as quick as Colyer.

im worried that we will cave and only get 1 pick. id be filthy though!

Ha anyone thought if Tom Mcdonald gets an injury next year then we are totally and royally screwed. Mcdonald would become our most important player, before even Gawn.

colyer is a line breaker. id take him in a heartbeat

Please! you're telling me harrison petty and an upgrade from a 4th to a 3rd round draft pick actually changes anything? The odds of picking up a career player drops significantly after the first round. These were merely slight adjustments to a one sided trade. Adelaide definitely got the better of that trade thus far. Lever will miss games next season too so we've lost 1.5 seasons from him unfortunately. I love josh Mahoneys ability to get things done but we could've technically got him for free if we wanted to play hardball.

mahoney can't screw us again at the trade table. He seems far too nice. Why did we cough up 2 first rounders for Lever when he was out of contract and we had all of the power? No-one can pre-empt an injury but we are so far behind on that trade so far. You need to be stronger this time around Josh!!

i agree. I say we stick to our guns, otherwise happy to have Hogan for 1 more season. Hogan may even choose to stay after 1 season. A lot can happen in 1 season.
