Loving all the photos of Gawn and Pruess. Look like they gonna do some wrecking ball tag team moves this season.

i like players that can kick a ball and hit a target

What i'm hoping is come draft day we don't use 23 or 28 on Bedford. Try grab Butters if he falls late if not i like the sound of Sturt and Duursma

I won't be mad if when we face the eagles he lines up Kennedy.

Awfully Sunny here in Melbourne...

106 pages to read through my god

Conor looked a shadow of his former self. I don't know how much of that was Khabib or how much of it was spending a year and a bit out of the grind to do a boxing match, imo it's ruined him. Post match stuff was nasty. Nobody is innocent in all of that, but for someone who wants the UFC to be about fighting and not showmanship Khabib sure did put on a show.

yep can't be bothered going through the 25 pages i've missed. I'll just assume we still know nothing.

Suns want him as well

Mate i literally live in WA and every freo fan is laughing at the suggestion of Brayshaw going.

Unless Andy Brayshaw kicks up a fuss and demands to leave he isn't leaving. Why do people think this will happen? Freo are [censored] [censored] and he's a young bright light who is contracted. Ross loves him and points to him and Cerra as the future, it's one of the only things protecting him from the [censored] off Freo fans. I'm not going to say it's not happening, but if Brayshaw is in the deal to get Hogan the Freo fans will riot and Ross will be on death row.

Touring facilities doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a way for a club to impress potential targets. Hickey and Lobbe both did tours at the Eagles and only of them is joining as an example.

5? rookie numbers

4 and 5 would be a statement. Freo won't do it. Port want their pick 4/5 and Freo want as many picks in top 10 as possible because Lobb, Kelly, Hogan and Hill are all available.

Hope he doesn't take 23 or even AVB's 22. That's for Kelly.

I'll be honest, looking at our best 22 for next year without Hogan or AVB in it makes me sad. Pray that May will be great for us and him an Lever stay fit all season. Also pray that Weid can kick 25-30 goals and T.Mac has another good year while always getting the no.1 defender.

7news in WA just said Jesse Hogan has asked for trade back to WA.

I can't believe people are still against the idea of drafting a top 10 pick this year. The Rising Star was in a GF yesterday. Age means nothing, Talent is everything. We might not have a player out there that's better than what we got, so why not use it in the draft. Also i'm fine with May coming in but i am concerned with his attitude and i think he see's the Suns salary cap issue as weapon to get out and get a big pay day in Victoria. 650k max, he shouldn't be on what Hogan and Lever are currently on otherwise guys like Oliver, Brayshaw, Gawn, Viney and Trac will all start wondering why Lewis is telling them to take unders when the club bring in talent and pays them overs at their expense. Still i'm on board with anything that helps us land J.Kelly and i'd think the rest of squad would see him as someone worth a million.

Gawnies cider commericals won over somebody atleast.

Everything i've heard (i know nobody, just from on here and AFL journos) suggest he's gone. Like i said in the AVB thread, i don't like that the club is going to have so much turnover after a succesful season onfield. Hopefully this is a one off off-season, reminds me too much of our dark days.

If people fear that we could play too many talls next season i would say it doesn't matter how tall you are as long as you can play. Do you think Carlton think i wish Cripps wasn't 196cm tall? Hogan, T.Mac and Gawn can all play and are big boys. I'm sure the club believe Preuss can follow the same steps Maxy did.

he opended a business in WA and said he isn't leaving.

I'm not going to say he ain't a quality fullback, but i don't think Steven May is the be all and end all. Let's not forget Oscar was one of our better players while Lever was in the side. Now we are chasing May who has played around [censored] all his life. It's easy to look good when your teammates are all 20 years old, undersized and still learning the craft. Yes he would basically take over Hogan's wage, but Hogan actually earned his wage.

Interesting. I wonder how the group feels about him leaving. You felt them all bond with the big wins this year and in the finals. Jesse not being there for them i wonder if they really care or if they feel upset he's leaving after all the hard years to get no reward together.

Eh i rate Hunt. I don't think he is going to be as good as we hoped, but he can play if he gets fit and his head right. Otherwise he will end up like Wattsy
