Bogan music? Lol sorry your highness Who are the regular classical artists you normally listen to at a sensible volume in the Range Rover on your way to high tea?

Hey hey back up a bit, Jimmy is a national treasure. Ain't no second prize a certainty to feature. Black eyed peas though? Very lame. I didn't think they existed anymore. If they wanted a hip hop act, they have plenty of commercially viable Australian artists to choose from. The Sunnyboys are still touring, wish we could get a proper Aussie band like that

On face value - Viney = no. If Viney's foot/toe flares up again in the next few weeks? Romance aside, it would be a better result for the team long team. And yes i know that won't ever happen, especially since he is a captain, but as long as we're talking hypothetical's ...

a single goal he kicked in a fairly low pressure situation does not define his kicking ability we don't really need jayden. trade bait.

Wonderful game. Makes the hogan trade talk very interesting.

Oh god am I hungover. It feels good somehow. i love this football club

Genuine forward. Stood up big time today. Keen to see more

My only issue with this list is where Jones sits. If we are talking pure football ability, I wouldn't have thought he'd make top 5, but in the scope of this thread that's irrelevant anyway. Fritter surely isn't in our bottom 6? He's proven to be highly skillful and incredibly versatile. He plays tall and his kicking is well above average. IMO our bottom 6 are: JKH, Spargo, VDB, Frost, ANB and Hannan. All of which are significantly better than Geelongs bottom 6. Dee's by 30+

Unless he was snorting lines right before the game (and a cheeky one at half time), it ain't performance enhancing

Yeah I don't disagree with the requirement, but what makes you think a bloke who could be first string at multiple clubs would want to sit around waiting for Gawn to get injured?

Exactly. He could be 1st string elsewhere

Probably a no for me. We are tall enough already, and I think max has really got his body right this season shape wise and I’m tipping he stays up long term.

"The games gone past him. He's hopeless. Should not get a game." *retires* "What a shame! Thanks Bernie we love you! Get fit for the grand final!" Seriously though - Bernie made a choice to help this club in bad times and we should forever be appreciative of that. He was clearly slowling down this year and the end was upon him - but he gave this club the first sparks of hope we we arrived and I hope he sticks around the club. I'll miss him for sure. Cheers Bernie!

Deceiving title for an Mfcss sufferer, but yep he’s killing it. Just what we needed too.

We don't necessarily need the picks - but first round picks are great currency to trade into getting the finishing touches we actually need in other parts of the ground, i.e an established, classy outside mid. And that's my point - if the Weed is deemed suitable to be our #1 target up forward at the end of the season, then why not at least consider trading Hogan for picks, and then trading those picks to fill gaps elsewhere? It's all just food for thought at the moment, I'm certainly not in the "we must trade hogan" camp, but if there's a chance trading him will put us in a net better position then I'd certainly give it thought. Let's see if the Weed shows signs he can be that guy first though. Then the convo is worth actually having.

It's probably too early to make this call. If the weed plays out of his skin and shows us to be what we all hope him to be in the finals, then I see no issue making inquiries re: getting 2 first rounders for Jesse. Jesse is no doubt a great player, but he's not worth more than 2 first rounders in a super draft if the weed holds his own in September.

Resumes and accomplishments speak far louder than rumor and hearsay.

You seem like the kind of bloke that has there school listed as "The School of Hard Knocks" on Facebook ...

Happy with both of them right now. Can't figure out why we need to compare the two though.

Yeah I think it might be. Especially if we have a crack in September. Love the bloke to bits but he's slowing down a little bit, which comes at no surprise since he's been carrying the whole team on his back for so many years (Hope I'm wrong)

> Hogan kicks 70 > Petracca breakout - club champion and top 5 Brownlow > Lever to absolutely shut the naysayers up > Tyson a regular feature in VFL > Win a game in September, a fitting farewell gift to to Nathan Jones

As opposed to what? The long list of 17/18 years old's available at that point that we're somehow built like men and are ready to play 22 games in 2018?

Interesting comment given you were present for none of the conversations between the clubs with regard to this trade

Good deal, great acquisition Damn our backline is looking magnificent next year now. And I think thats really important given our attacking game plan. I suspect our turnovers will hurt less next year.

Its a highlight reel, why would they include highlights of him missing targets? Lol ...
