  1. That's why we are looking at May.
  2. I see what you did there....
  3. Was runner-up in the B&F in his second year at GC. The tape of his highlights is worth watching...
  4. 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...
  5. Contested marking was pretty critical.... Oh and a decent defence...Barass and McGovern go OK. Not to worry cos we have Oscar and Frosty. Just in case we are getting May and KK.....
  6. Yep. Its OK to have a sense of humor as well
  7. I find it hard to believe that everybody was Kung-Fu fighting
  8. Nah, I thought it was a game of two halves...
  9. What were West Coast at the start of the season? When Robert Walls predicted them for the wooden spoon? Edit: just done some checking. $41 for the flag... Pies were $26
  10. I love the way how some who have attacked posters lamenting our weak defence and in fact lauded our back six now think we need to get May and Kolodjashnij. Funny.
  11. I also can't believe we would offer a 1st rounder for May....
  12. Some kind of alternate reality when you get rid of a 23yo KP forward that has proven himself for a 27yo (in Jan 19) overweight full back that doesn't like training and is leaving his club in the lurch as Captain.
  13. We should offer Mrs Hogan a job at the club :)
  14. Yes you are correct..
  15. Lachie Weller was 2 first rd picks. He is a cut above Weller.
  16. This wouldn't apply to a Hogan on a fixed contract. More like an actor, artist or musician that has variable earnings over a 2-3 year period. My real point here is that once tax etc is taken into account the difference between a Melbourne offer of say $1m pa and a Freo at say $1.2m pa is minimised significantly. Some might take the extra $100k a year others might not be swayed by that and all of the pressure it entails when they can stay and likely play finals without any greater pressure than they are under already.... Ultimately if he wants to go home he will but my undertstanding is he like living here and likes the music scene etc. He stays for mine.
  17. Are you a public servant? Welcome to the real world. People pay tax
  18. The club has to be tight lipped at this time. There is so much garbage being put out there by 'journos' that have to fill column inches. If they responded to every wacky rumour they would need more staff.
  19. When the smoke is the media vultures like McClure, Ralph and co I can ignore it quite easily. @Moonshadow is right though, we'll know soon enough....
  20. Agreed and FWIW I think It's all bunk. He stays.
  21. You miss the point. For a start he pays tax at 49% and he pays a management company min of 2.5%. No one is dangling a $5m cheque. And Melbourne will negotiate a decent offer - that may not match another offer but would minimise the difference again to, say $100k a year after tax. Then there are the intangibles.............
  22. Everyone needs to chill. He hasn't met with the club yet. It's all clickbait at this point
