Quite a few of the Richmond team say the same thing in the post match shower sesh....

Getting the new nickname established early...

Page 195. 5 more pages before we know anything....

I if Hogan goes as a RFA in a few years and we are on par with this year, then we get about pick 16-20 as compo, but an additional years service. If we trade him out this year, we can do better than that (1 or more top 10 picks?). I suggest we were into May as a free agent option, but GCS see the benefit in the trade 1 year early. GCS could get better compo if they see themselves being a basket case again next year. it means clubs have to demand the contracts are longer term from this point, or decide if 12 months service is worth the drop in value at the trade table. Players have to make this call, then the clubs can act in their best interests. over to you, Jesse. Either way, sign or go, next move is yours. The sooner the better, BTW.

Breaking news!!!! nah, normal transmission resumes...

Prius on Max’s training regime. Fit, big and strong. Would be a great option to ruck/play a kick behind the ball, or as the monster forward. If he commits to work like a beast, he will definitely improve our team.

Killer jizz nay. With a Sourth Yarrah accent, Prue.

I know, trying to fill the space to page 200 and the ‘moment of truth’... the correct answer, if you were playing along at home, is “no matter how hard you try you end up with cockburn”. Other entries still welcome!

Riddle me this: why is lying naked in the sun like playing for Freo?

When does he have to announce (or tell GC)? First that he wants out, and second his preferred new home. I really don’t know if we want him, what it will cost. Suspect he won’t get to be captain any time soon....

Reckon it comes down to one thing. The size of the contract. If he walked in to the shockers to check out the gym and the showers, I would be surprised. I think it’s to hear them spray warm yellow liquid down the back of his neck whilst waving wads of cash at him. If he feels warm and fuzzy and the bucks are big enough, he can avoid being mercenary by saying ‘go home factor’. as the shockers have no one else, they will probably throw a massive deal with long term legs at him. Think Buddy Franklin or bigger

Agreed. As they are moving him on, should get him for a late-ish pick and a bag of chips

I get it, ET. However, if what we get generates enough improvement to give us a flag, then I really don’t mind. However, we won’t know for 12 months. We all have an expectation and want the club to match or better this. Hopefully the signalling of ‘most valuable ever’ gives us an idea of what the club thinks...

Instead of May, how about play Jesse back? ?

On points alone, 5 and 9 would get 1. 5,6 and Hunt would be overs by a big margin. Unless we needed the guy who would go at 1, 5 and 6 would be much better value

You wonder about motivations, if all of this is true. Playing finals? Stay at Melbourne Play with your team mates? Stay at Melbourne Repay the faith, development and care offered during the last few horrible years? Stay at Melbourne. Go home (and spend half your time travelling interstate ) go to Freo Play under a coach that has never used key forwards well? Go to Freo Big Bucks? Probably either. i would be interested to know how well he gets on with his MFC team mates. in the end, my primary concern is that MFC uses any player movement to enhance its position. If it’s on, then let’s get a good deal and create a nucleus of players that want to be here, and want to win together.

Crickey, are we there yet? silence from all the sources that would matter. Will the Bluey cause player or club to reveal their hand?

McClure can drink his own urine. No way

Agree. The price would have to be right for MFC to entertain it. If it happens, I want MFC to play super hard ball.

He was clear it was for job security. Like we got Lewis by offering 3 when Hawks offered 1. Suspect about the same

What?? SO how will they trade for Dean? A future pick? A player swap? There is quite a breeze of change on the list - Although apart from Dean and the retirements, all are VFL standard.

Didn’t he speak to us, not the other way around? I like how the club doesnt leak. They plan and act. They leave all of us (and the media) to guess. It would not surprise me if we are not into May at all. I could see Collingwood needing to replace Dunn, especially if Moore is lured to Swans. Hold on tight - I think it is going to be very interesting.

Not convinced. WOuld not want too pay too much for him.

If Hogan goes, he will be a very important addition

I think his field kicking is some of the best going around. He has a few staggers at set shots, but watching him deliver on the move to another player is different. I really rate this part of his game. In a way, he could be a bigger version of Petracca for us. Shifting him to HB could be an interesting idea, or using his power, marking and aerobic capacity on the wing (a great marking target as well) could be another option. Personally I see him as the roaming CHF type who would be damned hard to match up on, with Weids and TMac deep.
