Farewell Jesse Hogan
Incorrect he had committed to Carlton nearly a year earlier. He used us and a couple of other clubs to pretend he hadn't decided where he was going. That way it didn't look as much like he was poached by Carlton and would keep the price down and make negotiations a bit less volatile.

Aaron vandenBerg not going - signs a new deal!!!
I said you can bank on that.

In my view when negotiating, when you are the seller and buyer wants what you have, you ask for as much as you would like to get and negotiate down to what you will accept. Therefore I would ask for 2 early first rounders and Brayshaw.

You mean right or left, forward or reverse, or straight or gay?

We won't be going to the draft to pick 7-8 18 year olds, you can bank that.

Farewell Dean Kent
He has personal issues that have stuffed his football.

He is quicker than Birchall and unlike Birchall who often goes the short pass, KK seems able to gain ground and then pass over a decent distance and accurately. Would be a very good pick up for us if we can get him.

I think chemistry is created after the pre season starts and the players commit to the cause together and find the guys they like to hang out with. What we appear to be doing is changing our bottom 10- 20 and except for JH, losing no one from the top 22. If we bring in 4-5 players by trades who are serious top 22 contenders that has to be an improvement. If the next 4-5 brought in via the draft, have the chance to develop into top 22 contenders, that is a brilliant result. I don't think it is the number being replaced per se that is vital, but rather the abilities of the replacements. If I said we will lose Pedo and get Preuss, would anyone complain? If I said we get KK and lose Kent? Get Toby Bedford for McKenna. Gaff for Bugg. May and a top 5 kid for Hogan or better. While these are possible examples, they show what we are trying to do, make the list better. If the list looks better after draft night than it does today, we have succeeded in improving the list, which is a main aim of every club every year. If we lose JH and keep the rest of our best 22 and change 15 other spots, I would not lose any sleep.

Sounding like we are trying to tie him in the with the May deal and if we are forced to give away a high pick for May, we are trying to add real value to the deal. Would be very happy to get KK, as he has always looked a very good player to me.

And if the 10 we get in are nearly all better than the ones who left, your concern is?

Article says he has a good relationship with the Coach and clearly would be happy with his last part of the season. Article also says he has to help run the family business and it is too hard from Melbourne. Also hasn't asked for a trade yet.

Yes we will "sort" them out.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Was that while living in WA? Interesting, as if so, it meant he couldn't see them play live very often.

I thought he was a Dockers fan. I am sure I have seen that somewhere.
