Or maybe Crossy gets him in his Cross-Hairs? a superfit Preusst would trouble a lot of defences ? a big lad... Mummy on speed.

This is what concerns me to.

just brilliant.

I agree RL There is a lot at play in this decision, for the Hogans... He and his mother might want a fresh start, away from memories in the west? Maybe, maybe not. Also the AFL would be very happy for some players of Jesse's ilk to support the GCS's... and the GCSuns will have plenty of Cap $pace... and they'll be hunting high and low for experienced players who can hit the ground running, for next season. no kids. This will make Freo ante-up, as well.

Gills equalisation is... ahappenin' thing. And as you say, all very merry.

leaving soon... all aboard !

The Hawks would eventually choose Hodge and would not experience even a moment of buyer's remorse. He has been one of the all-time greats of a club chock full of champions. The Croad trade remains one of the all-time great ones. The final deal also saw emerging, but homesick key defender Luke McPharlin also traded to the Dockers, with the Hawks receiving additional draft picks in return."

Hawks/Freo - Trent Croad Melbourne - Frawley Hawks - Franklin

Interesting, you mention Bernie. I hadn't considered him. But he could go around for one more, to help the 'Suns' sort through what a healthy culture looks like. They do need maturity and leadership, to straighten up many with wayward ideas. May is gone imv. And the 'Suns' should want him out... They would NOT want any senior player who is not 100% committed to the footy club, to shape its future with positivity.

I think WE at Melbourne get way too sympathetic and romantic over players who have a good story,,, but proved very little when it actually counts.

(Re Steven May) What do you think is most important to the GCSuns, at this point for their club ?

We need more speed and run, and delivery, from our mid-sized players. IMO, we cannot play too many, not with speed and high disposal quality.

We need to improve in ALL areas. AFL footy never sleeps... nor does it stand still. Speed and marking strength + small forwards. and improved depth to vulnerable areas.

Pick 6, your kidding. Not enough to do a deal. Even if Hoges wanted out. 2 picks or Freo can zip off. Anyway who says Hogan would go to Freo, or West Aus', for that matter ? Maybe he would be tempted to go to help up on the Gold Coa$t ??? I hear they need replacements, to ante-up ? And are cashed-up. Maybe Jesse wants to play midfield with us, or wing/half-back ?

It''s time to consider a polished 'Gorilla tamer. now the footy's finished for us and we also need some more speed, and X-factor. jDegoey could have been amongst our list, from a couple of seasons back. > https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_drafts?year=2014&t=N&s=P Maybe we should go all out, to try to lure him in a years time ? He's off contract in 2020. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-collingwood-magpies--jordan-de-goey We need some risk-taker types. X-Factor. ... remembering David Schwartz, and Jeff Farmer. and Alan Jakovitch__ we need one in the side, who can turn IT on.

Yes, his focus has waned, thru tiredness... past 3 matches or so. I'm not sure if one match off will do it now. He's fatigued and looks spent. His heart says go for it,,, his head looks clouded.

And a wide selection of Valves as well.

(no DEES in 64) Hi old dee.. I think you'll find the ''Dees'' was born during the 1994 Qualifying Final against Carlton... when Schwarta was taking hold, before or after half time... in a big fight-back against the Blues who had control for a while. I know, I was there when it happened. very close to me. ... around about Bay M50

not you, 'lfR' ? de phantom of Oceans Grove. ?

Do you mean Sellwood is drooling over our Nev, 'b_nkd' ? such is his awe.

Thanks 'EH'. That is refreshing to hear.

hmmn.... ?

I agree with you guys... but If rotations were lowered, and spaces opened up, his game would be much more useful to us IMO. As many players would bomb long when tired. Our structure would suit the long bomb much more now with the Weide in the side. Strong overhead for that high ball... but would need better mosquito fleet around him.

Were the same players. Now Frost has turned his thinking around, and finds targets by hand and by foot.
