well...im not going to say " I didnt see that coming !!" ( this time ) lol

we might be doing the carving

No one's been spooked. This sort of thing happens from a long way back. Dont get suckered in to believing player/manager/club speak during a season. The MFC will know EXACTLY what its doing

well....yes and a few trimmings !!

Now we go from Club/Player Speak....to Talking Turkey !!

Gday Wiseblood...we often dont see eye to eye. Thats part of the wonderful make up of this form...the opportunity to have a different view Whether this finally transpires or not, it in a fashion, simply vindicates the stand some of us had that this was in all likelihood a much better than evens chance of occurring. And should it...what could /would/should we do about it. Some of us were pilloried for even suggesting such a thing . For mine its simply about a very basic maxim.. " never say never ( in this case footy ) " Id agree that some things are beyond 'not-likely' to the point of "forget it" but then a lot in this game falls to the ...."well, let's just wait and see" Should he go it's a very unique opportunity to upgrade some of our stocks. Chances are The winning suitor will pay whatever is required to win the deal. A bit like us and Lever An interesting off season ahead wouldnt you think Go Dees

I reckon there were a few

Good luck Cameron.

repetition possibly...but not irony

Nice over reaction. Suits your stance. Real ironic? Surely you actually mean 'really ironic'. You seem to infer an unreal ironic. Now that's ironic. I get it you're among those that dismiss the notion as wildly heretic. I have no attachment to any player. I'll barrack for them in red and blue, otherwise they're irrelevant. I'm only interested in a good competitive team. That team needs balance , depth , ethics and the right attitude. It must work together as a team and implore the team ideal. I happen to think ( so it's just my opinion I grant ) that we function better without being hogan- centric. He hasn't shown imho the true grit required when face with superior competition. Others on the park do. I'm happy for the club to sort that out as I am for them to entertain offers. I don't really care whether he stays or goes. If he adds to the equation, fine. For mine the values placed upon him are exaggerated. That said I'm more than happy if other teams see greater value in him and offer accordingly.

Really...don't like free discussion eh sponge. Go somewhere else

And I said " he'll be" which infers a distant date. If you want to get pedantic

Thankyou...its valuable context. I dont think anyone really thinks the lad isnt talented. It's a very one sided extrapolation to say he'll be as good as Kennedy. That said it would not surprise me if WCE made a play for him

maybe you might want to study those same statistics closer

Or someone who might drop his head, play for frees, half hearted second efforts and go sookilala if it's not his day. No he doesn't do that all the time...but does often enough for some to take notice Anyone thinking he was the difference yesterday is kidding themselves.

always good to read an individual assessment...i.e not just a sheep Aspects I agree on...some I don't but that in the main is irrelevant as thats just my opinion. Nice to see yours.

Or they could just be in each other's way.

Amazing to see so many starting to wear the colours day to day,...wearing scarves , hats, beanies,. ..jumpers and/or jackets ... And just to do the supermarket shopping or whatever !! Great to see

no wonder it's bloody called Squiggle !!!!

Keep in mind any 'talk' for public consumption will invariably always push the status quo. Coaches are always backed...players always needed. No one EVER goes anywhere ... officially...til they do . It's the company line. You wouldn't really expect the MFC to say anything different...3 weeks from grabbing our next flag !!

A lot of cheap late boat-anchor bumps etc. A pale image of his former self.

No logical reason ? Kidding right ? I'm not for PUSHING him out the door.But enquiries WILL come... offers will come. Everyone needs to look at those rationally. If Jesse feels he wants to go then there is opportunity for us to trade ... and to use your boat analogy...a boat better suited to maybe a Mid role. There are better boats than Jesse for this..better established boats. Jesse in other roles is the actual unknown.

Flabbergasted !!! Well I'll be ....

Reasonable invariably refers to reason. Stupidity is of the stupid. Some can discern. Some just don't like the idea. To them it's unpalatable. That's just preference.

Just highlights the stupidity of that post. Nothing more. There's been for the most a reasonable discussion about the various aspects of Hogan and what might prevail or transpire. None of this has any relevance to another's ridicule.
