Poor bastard

weeds has yet to do a preseason ( properly) apparently he's already in the gym not making a judgement...just noting this

we'll probably never know 1....but because of 1 they did 2 ( and made the best of it )

All talk outside of trade room is waffle. Talk inside is the deal Who here is privy to that ? SFA I'd think. Wait and watch We'll end up with a better list and that my friends is ALL that MATTERS

my spider senses are tingling... just have a funny feeling there's a surprise yet in all of this..and not a bad one.

should be banned...this is no place for reality....shame on you.....

was he singing..... when my baby smiles at me I go to Freo ??

can we do 17 before the big announcement.... yes we can... I'm sure we can all find something to repeat

you getting excited ? armageddon excited !!!

Said bugger all. Lots of people putting words in his mouth. Much I what I recall has been predictably generic. Some of what I thought he'd said he hadn't at all Journos getting twitchy.

He IS... theTradebreaker

I like Apple pie...or peach cobbler. Can we have either of those.... I'm just going to sit over there >>>>>> wake me please....when the Pie comes. Cheers ( Oh...with cream )

Is it fact it was a guess Or just a guess in fact If in fact a fact I guess the guess is fact But if in fact a guess then the guess is pretty fact !!

Only 27 hours to go....only...lol

Did it start ?

It explains everything ... and that which isn't....is understood

Thanks. No idea what or how they'll use it,only it's the OVERPAYMENT for May. Other players picks etc bound to be part of the change coming back.Theyre just my thoughts of course.

Admittedly its just possibly my read on the situation but I cant help but think a lot of folk are misconstruing the nature of pick 5 and May. Mahoney has been quite candid in saying we need the hogan trade in order to get May..There after everyone , bar a few simply assume pick 5 is THE price for May. Its not how I read it at all. The Hogan trade delivers a goodly 1st pick ( and maybe change )..So for sake of argument lets call that pick 5. Yes pick % is INSTRUMENTAL in securing May as GC want that pick...but its not the price paid as such as I believe we will get more than May for 5 and there is probably still some trade off of picks as well. Pick 5 is part of the deal...not ALL of it...imho

A big problem I think in all of this is folk isolate a player and then somehow attempt a valuation. I see it differently.. Hogan is a forward...May is a back. I think we can all at least agree upon that. Here's where I diverge from the groupthink model. I see it as a comparison of effects. What does May added to our back arc do as compared Hogan being in the front arc ? Add May to Lever, Hibberd , Jetta, Oscar and say Salem... thats formidable...take out May...not so much...as dynamic reverts back to before...somewhat problematic Hogan in the fwd 50 with Tmac , Milkshake, Trac...any of Spargo... VDB etc etc...is also quite effective. Take out Hogan...put in Weed...or someone else..its still reasonably effective, and possibly not so mono-centric in nature of attack. So for mine the impact of May in far outweighs Hogan leaving Have a suspicion out FD sees it similarly.

it's simple...like breathing air really... Yet some struggle

Amazing so many just don't see this. Must be too busy collecting Scanlens cards .
