Tim Smith. Played forward this year with some success...

It is a hype ladder. Teams with the most hype up top etc etc. I think bummers are definitely over-hyped, and lions are right up there. We should be mid table (I think we have had to earn every accolade, and the media only jumped on the bandwagon right at the very end). Eagles going about it all fairly quietly should be down lower. Carlton are just a joke and be relegated to a different table all together.

70,000 complete tossbag members is what will do it. They will turn up and tune in, regardless of what a cheating pile of shyte this organisation is. With even a faint sniff of success, that is enough to get the AFL warm and moist to the idea of marquee time slots.

Do we have to ‘nominate’ him beforehand like father son nominations? If so, by when?

He will fit right in to our culture of having Frank conversations

he wants to be in WA, but will spend half his time travelling to play footy!

Tumbleweeds and crickets.

We also have the Cat B rookie Walker, being lined up as a developing tall forward.

Wrong way!! Are you Peter Bell??

What do 23 and 28 get us? A further upgrade?

Welcome SM!

What has he done to be worth more than 6 and 23? When has he put together an uninterrupted season? (not counting Casey as a 17 YO) When has he absolutely dominated a game? How many B&F's? He is not without risk. He is a talent, and has potential. Lets just take what we can get, and move on.

Thanks for your service. Don't let the door hit you on the [censored] on the way out.

Assuming we need two forwards, or that we can't develop Tangles into one? Stuff happens. The Tiggers won a flag with only Riewoldt and smalls. Collingwood are built around mids and nearly got there (with a big cox in the mix). Hogan can go and be whatever. What matters is that we create a TEAM that wants to win together, and has the capability to do so.

It may also have to do with other things that play out today. It may be part of something bigger that balances things out, for example Wingard to Hawks. The trade Hawks make out might be overs, that circulate through a few clubs, to be overall ‘evens’ back to GWS. Lets have a look at the close of this farcical day. I think the AFL are trying to maximise the ‘excitement’ by having a super trade and having everyone running around like chooks at the last minute. Smells like reality TV, to me.

If we end up with May, KK and a mid 20 pick for Hogan, it isn’t unders or overs. It is taking care of business. We will have improved the list as per our plans, and although Hogan is a player of high capability and potential, he may deliver us a flag by departing. We will get stronger as a team, but lose an individual who could be brilliant. We also save $1mio per year in cap, which will be useful spread elsewhere.

He comes across as such a great bloke that you would do anything to keep him, right Giants? (Ha! Big salary for the next few years and questionable character offloaded to the dorks. GWS laughing in their Halal snack packs)

Heard he has a pea heart and won’t put in..but loves the hawks so who knows? Hawks taking some interesting risks with Scumbag Scully (big contract, smashed ankle) and scrimshaw (all talent, no heart). Lets see how they get on with the other ‘mentally questioned’ inbounded from Kochies slave palace?

Scumbag now a hawk. A match made in heaven.

So, do we value Hogan to us at $1 mio per year? What would we need to see him deliver for this to be fair pay?

I would take pick 5 and offer it around for something like an 8 and a 14. Or 8 and next year’s first. Give either to gc for May and kk, and still be back in the first round

A future round first pick will still be less than their FA compo on current form, so we have nothing to give them (pick wise), and there are no rumblings about players. I think this goes on hold until next year, or we get boned by Footscray.

Think GCS will chase future picks as the are pretty loaded this trade period.

Is your aim to have this on every page? Why repeat it 25 posts later?

Preuss equates to supersizing king and flipper Tyson was behind a big queue for inside mid kent wanted out for more stability. We had Bernie gracefully retire. all of the rest were fringe, and obviously assessed as nqr with low potential ceilings. we have Bradke and Tangles as cat B project players. we add KK, get hunt firing and return Fritter to the wing. we land May if we lose hogan we use our academy pick on Bedford (matching if an oppo club selects him, 2nd or 3rd round at best) Taylor trades up, or nabs a couple of smokeys we are significantly better off with Petty and Baker still developing we are in a good spot.
