Straight swap May for Oscar.

No one GAF about points unless you are trying to recruit an academy player or a father/son.

ahem....Viney says hello....and Brayshaw....

Goodwin, McCartney, Pig and Melk know him pretty well....

Why TF would he go to Gold Coast? What are you smoking?

So you are saying Treloar is a better player? Because he went for more than you are suggesting

He's good alright. But every year there is a mdeia frenzy about him returning home. The club would want to lock him in but if he won't initiate discussions maybe they have to 'force' the situation a little. The alternative says we wait until midway next year (with a massive media frenzy) and try to engage him on a deal....

Getting on the front foot probably allows us to fashion a better deal. In 12m time we might be snookered.

I'd be happy with a direct swap of May for OMac.

The more I think about this the more I feel it has been instigated by the club... They approached Jesse and said 'what are your plans going forward? If you are thinking of heading back to Perth it would be better for us to know now as we can do a better deal than in 12m time. Otherwise we will start discussions on a long term deal. We want you but understand you may be torn about staying. We're also planning our list for a tilt at the flag and don't want to disrupt it in 12m time.' Jesse thinks about it. Flys to Perth, His manager chats to the Dockers. And here we are. If so it is probably very smart from our guys.

And he didn't play seniors until 2015....

....but we have already established they are idiots and are just looking for something to fill 500 hours of radio time.

How is Hawthorn managing to look at Shiel AND Wingard?? After bringing in Jaegar and Mitchell? They have no picks to speak of... a lot of players must be taking unders....or have jobs provided by player sponsors etc...They always seem to know how to sail close to the wind on salary and membership issues....

You miss the point. The two are totally unrelated.

On what planet would Gaff base his decision to go to North or stay at WCE based on whether Hogan goes to Freo?

Why? He has never played there.

Peak Demonland

I can’t believe how many people think Hogan is leaving.

That's why we are looking at May.

I have slow internet but it's working fine for me....

I think the top5 speak only...

I see what you did there....

Was runner-up in the B&F in his second year at GC. The tape of his highlights is worth watching...

Neither club nor the player has said a thing but the media frenzy has you saying we are past the point of no return? Errr OK...
