No that’s what your hypersensitive soul took my comment mean. I know you’re not racist. Just a little dull witted.

Lol. How is flying to Perth going to help his cause? ”Please accept pick 5 Belly. I’ve come all the way across the Nullarbor. It’s a long way to come mate. Pretty please?”

People STILL doing the permutations over the Neale pick 5 and whatever else they think we can wrangle. He’s not going there people. The negotiation is dead and buried. Hogan stays for 12 months.

The $8mil over 8 years is an obvious Furphy from Hogan’s manager to save face now that Freo have rejected him. Or at least given the appearance of rejecting him. Trying to make it look like Freo baulked at his asking price. Nice little ploy but total horseshite.

Semantics Patches. 11 in play for Lobb I said and it happened. Stick to throwing wrenches at Average Joes Gym Dodgeballers old boy. Have you got your Whispy Watson happy snap ready?

Interesting comment from a guy that called me a [censored] for saying similar a few pages back. How’s your Recruit Harley Bennell thread going? What a corker...

And people scoffed and scolded when I said Freo would be offering pick 11 for Lobb a hundred pages back.

The sound we are going to hear in our heads when trade deadline passes aaaaaand ... nothing happened. Pbbpbbpbbbffhhhsshh!

Cryptic reference by D’Land to the trades being d(r) eadlocked.

I’m a “troll” because I don’t trundle with lemmings off a cliff or say “baaa” with the herd? Demonland hasn’t changed much. A few very good and sane posters but still too many fanboys (and girls) who get hurt derrières when confronted with sober assessments and clear eyed analysis.

Yet here you are engaged in a debate about it ?

Adoo-Ken!! See ya Sue.

Look, nothing against Binman but I thought his post was rubbish and a waste of my time. And you Sue keep recycling your wrong opinions.

I’m sticking with Brucey boy but might change my username to FistOfFury after this victory!

We have ManDee down for Toot-Toot Nixon. Patches O’H has got Whispers Watson. Any takers for Boris Langdon? Come on step up and have a go!

Please Binman. Stop living in fantasyland. You think Watson brought Bennell up because of injury issues? Any player can get injured at anytime. And ‘motivation’? Nothing except he’s a sports commentator and journalist making an assessment of a situation based on information he has at hand. What, you think his ‘motivation’ is to tear down the Melbourne Football Club? Bit paranoid there mate.

Wager? You change your avatar to Whispy Watson if you lose.

That is very interesting. So here we have yet another football commentator, this time more respected than Langdon, Nixon and others, none too subtly alluding to ‘off field issues’ regarding Hogan. No other reason for Watson to say that.

No, you’re on the money Mondè. Hogan will be at Melbourne for another 12 months. May won’t be coming. Freo aren’t giving us pick 5 for Hogan even if they do send Neale to Brisbane. All the trade permutations posters on here are rambling on with will be for nought.

A joke reply. Are you questioning my seriousness?

Poor bugga didn’t get it lace out at hip height into the breadbasket enough. Got it. What else have you got in your excuse Rolodex?

You’re reaching deanox. 9 goals in 8 games against top 10 teams. That tells me he was comprehensively pantsed by the better defenders in the league and went kick chasing to wide positions upfield out of frustration. Check his heatmaps you will see. I understand it doesn’t gel with the whole “generational player” schtick but there it is. The FD see what I see. Which is why we’re not bending over backwards to keep him. Okay to good player but something’s missing.

Referring back to one game three years ago doesn’t exactly sell your argument.

Hogan was a 23yo 60+ gamer with a mature body going into the 2018 season. Weid still a baby in KPF terms. Silly comparison.

Way too vague Patches. Link? Actual quote? *You don’t give up pick 5 in a superdraft for Hogan ... A) Because you don’t value him that highly or B) You think you can get him on the cheap next year.
