We still have 2 spots on our list left, I reckon we will see a rookie elevation and this kid.

Our VFL backline will be strong next season

Got to love Politics. Both major parties need to bow down to the Greens as they really hold the balance of power and to win the election you need Green preference votes. Only if Dan Andrews didn't keep the Greens happy with the East West link we would have a completed freeway linking all our freeways. We are 4 years behind with a new project that really is a band aid. Inner city need to get off the Green band wagon so one party can make proper decisions rather than worry about keeping a minority happy

No its not nsw and qld teams get priority access to any one in their academy programs

Petracca, it wont come from one player it will be a combination of players

West Coast Eagles will be sitting back laughing their heads off at Freo. They know they have a team which will be top 8 for the next 5 odd years, young midfield group. They can't wait to get their hooks into Hogan as soon as Kennedy is done, Hogan and Darling set up the Eagles for a couple more potential flags.

Or May stays committed to GCS for one more year and we get him in next trade period and costs us nothing

I think 5 and 23 plus swap next years first round pick gets this deal done.

Deal with that after we have 2 flags in the bank and we all couldn't care if he goes for pick 100

Peter Bell is a very smart man, he knows that he has to look like taken the hard line approach but also knows he can't walk away from this trade week with just Lobb, he wants Lobb and Hogan to show the Footy world how good he is. His Ego will play into our hands at some stage, he wants two prized recruits to create some hype around the Dockers for 2019 Also Ross Lyon can't build a list from bottom up, at Sydney, St Kilda and Fremantle is was about adding experience players to improve your list, look at his track record not much development of kids.

The game will be that fast that you need these big hit up forwards as outlets then get the ball inside 50m where the pressure will need to be.

I was open to Trading Hogan for the right deal, 2 first round picks but with the rule changes announced yesterday he is the ideal forward. The CHF role will need to have a massive endurance motor as the game is being built for a fast transition from defense to forward and clubs will need hard running forwards hitting up and getting back. For us to have TMac and Hogan with big tanks would be a massive advantage with Weiderman playing a deeper forward role

Great Result, get rid of Tyson, to cover a massive hole on our list. With Bradke as the devolping ruck, I still think we will look at Rookie draft another ruck from state league competition.

Agree, they want both and need picks. Fremantle needs to decide if the want to play hardball on a midfielder that wants out or get the trade done that will see them land Lobb and Hogan. I reckon Peter Bells ego will get in the way.

What we also did was play Max Gawn like an old fashion ruckman a kick behind the play and it worked really well until the prelim and that explains why we are going after Preuss

Yes, like with Frawley for us the AFL gave us overs instead of a priority pick. The AFL need a competitive Gold Coast they will get overs.

They must see something most of us miss, all I see with Tyson is a bloke with no defensive skills, limited running capacity and can't hit targets

I reckon the only club with any interest in Tyson will be Carlton, they need an inside mid to help Cripps. I reckon that pick 42ish they just got off Geelong would be around the mark

Add in Mitch Clark the games he was fit for us he was amazing

Colin Sylvia would give him a good run for that title, maybe he was the decade before Bennell

Peter Bell is a [censored] and clubs will hate dealing with him

Wait till he confirms he is going or staying and the trade is done, 500 pages here we come

If he wants to go I reckon it will be picks and a player. First round pick this year, future second Round pick plus Matt Taberner for Hogan and Pick 51. If Hogan goes our tall forward stocks are light on so getting Taberner in is back up and I reckon he can play. First Round and Future first round goes to Gold Coast for May, KK and Pick 18 this year

Bit like Jack Watts last year, bit different though Watts wanted to stay but the club wanted to trade him, seems we are happy for Hogan to stay but we are unsure what he wants. The club is a bit torn at the moment they see the benefits of trading Hogan but also the downside is losing a very good player

So the flip side for us we have no chance getting Yarra Park as the to major parties will be sacred to lose the Green vote
