So the deal is Hogan and Kent for 6 and 23. Hopefully we keep 23 after getting May and KK. This could yet end up an extremely embarrassing deal for us. We will see how it all ends up after the May/KK deals.

Heard that GWs are fed up with Bombers and Dodoro. Carlton is pitching next year's first pick and Shiel is happy to play with either club. He could end up with the Blues unless Dodoro blinks.

Given that KK deal has taken this long, I would assume it will be part of May deal.

What if player was Bennell?

You are the man.

Has trade week ended?

Yep Tigers signed Dusty for peanuts. About $1.3m peanuts a year for about 6 years.

A player who has no hope of playing 8 years.

It does in compensation from the AFL for losing a player.

Maybe not done in the last few minutes, but drip fed announcements in the last few minutes.

if nothing else it is against the AFL Draft rules and should be dealt with.

I know we are all waiting for the JH, May, KK deals, but I wonder if there is someone we are looking at as a late trade.

From the AFL site, How is it not Draft Tampering? PORT Adelaide has fired a warning shot at Gold Coast, declaring it would back itself to lure highly rated draftees Jack Lukosius or Izak Rankine back home if the Suns recruit either of them. Port list manager Jason Cripps effectively cautioned the Suns against taking either of them when speaking to NAB AFL Trade Radio on Monday.

I love the Grisham books.

Will be a Dee tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. A top 5 pick player of a few years ago.

And we have now made a preliminary final after being a basket case club only 5 years ago. Now they continue to look for the missing ingredients to get us a flag. Pretty good so far.

Can we do it 8.30 Wednesday night? It might help me with my vote.

I am coming around to the Baghdad Bob way of thinking on deals. That basically is if you get what you want, the actual specifics of the deal is not important. For example, if you want a particular player and you don’t get the pick you would like, but still get the player with the pick received, what does it matter? We can get hung up on numbers, when it is really the full deal outcome that is important.

Fair enough and thanks for replying.

Keep posting, most of us enjoy it.

Whose word? If the Hogan deal is done the May deal would follow in minutes.

Just by the way, Oscar's field kicking is actually very good. He does what his brother couldn't do in the backline, kick to a team mate.

Well then you better follow another team.

I didn't know that May had toured the Dogs facilities. Are you sure of that?

If the deal is done that will happen as GC have apparently put 5 as their price for May and Neale deal will get it done. It’s the rest of the deal that has not been established. Sounding like the deal will be done Tuesday allowing a day to do other deals for all concerned.
