    Hope they do and that everything works out for Liam on and off the field. We took a high risk-high reward gamble and gave it our best shot - I'm very glad we did but by definition they won't all pay off.

    Not finishing in the Eagles B&F top 10 sets off the alarm and wakes it right up again - but then you probably reckon Gerard knows more than the Eagles FD.

    Not especially, I won't lose a minute of sleeping if they both move on.

    Use the 4 'n' 20 pie in the draft. I'm all for landing some experienced players like Pedersen, Gumbleton, Ray and Thomas but we ought to be able to do that on the back of exiting players like Moloney, Rivers, Gysberts, Morton, Cook, Martin and later picks.

    You must be joking - close to worst kick ever.

    No way - less compo picks is better. Clubs shouldn't let compo picks drive their FA strategy - they should seek out the players they want and let the compo chips fall as they may.

    Would prefer Pedersen and Ray personally and they'd both be cheaper - maybe for Martin and Gysberts.

    Here's to all the cry-babies who said we shouldn't or wouldn't take Jack with 3 or that we couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't do a deal to get him in the second round ...

    Or look at it this way Scully for Hogan, 20 and Barry

    I think the reason it took so long was we were trying to get GWS to take your pessimism too but they can't ship it because those big mining trucks can't travel on road.

    Imagine if Norm Smith's mum and dad sailed on the Titanic!

    If we snare Hogan I'd prefer to pay less for Cam Pedersen as a bridge than pay more for Chris Dawes. I guess it depends on how confident we are that Mitch Clark will make a full recovery.

    I think you're going to be disappointed if you expect this deal to favour us or be equitable. The minimum we pay will be 3 for Hogan - we'll be the ones adding something I suspect.

    We don't want any "Brock moments" do we.

    The deal with GWS for Hogan needs to appear to be a long protracted tough negotiation.
  17. old55
    If we can snare Hogan I'd lose any enthusiasm for Dawes.

    It aint over until the deal dust settles ...

    done

    Love a bit of win-win
  21. old55
    If we "over-pay" you need to take into consideration that GWS enabled us to get Jack Viney at 26 instead of 3.
  22. old55
    The most likley reason is we've done a deal with GWS ...

    Chris 8, sometime Magpie troll?

    I expect: - ND3 to GWS for MD2 (Hogan). - ND4 to GC for Caddy + pick (but they'll have to convince Caddy to come to us) or similar
  25. old55
    If we did a deal with GWS for MD2 for ND3 and GC force us to take Viney at 3 we could still honour the deal with GWS by trading pick 4 - it's not their fault GC bid.
