Completely agree, mate.

Or could again be Freo trying get us to deal with them. Freo aren't one of our competitors, but if a Victorian side was circling, their warped mentality might think we'd accept a slightly lower bid from Freo in order to get a first rounder and not strengthen one of our major Victorian competitors.

That's exactly what we need haha. Our list management team calling Freo, drunk.

The new Commodore is made by Opel and looks like a classy Euro car, basically because it is. Was going to get an Audi but the new model looks and offers more. So don't talk down to Commodores. ?

Tom Morris it was - http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2018-03-15/inside-melbourne-episode-1 Upon further Googling, Morris ran St Kilda's social channels in 2015. He now works for Croc Media and Fox Footy.

Good get, mate. Reckon we'll still get our man here though. I'm sure our FD have an alternative for how we go about getting the May trade done without the Hogan picks.

Hang on. So Channel 7 are reporting news based off Facebook posts? That is hilarious. Who said modern day journalism and/or commercial broadcast TV was dead? ? Btw, you [censored] suck Channel 7.

What a twist.

Absolutely but Polec is flakey and Tyson is a goer and that's it. They needed two or three Josh Kelly's.

Perfect result if so. North won't challenge and their midfield is already one paced. Do the deal.

Am I right in saying that the list managers pull up stumps at 3pm each day? In which case they do less work than the real estate industry and need to tough it out a little longer in order to get deals done.

I hope all those posters who banged on about 2019 being the super draft, pay attention to this line. I know they won't. Next year will become the new, deep super draft.

Can't believe that some around here wouldn't back this FD by now. Some could argue we paid too much in the Lever deal (not something I advocate), but sometimes you have to pay a bit when you're buying. In the Jesse scenario, as a few posters have already mentioned, we hold the whip and Freo are doing the buying. You watch. They'll pay two first rounders or he'll stay in Melbourne.

Has any footballer ever been banned for life for elbowing? It just sounds like you're looking for reasons to say no that aren't there.

That is an hysterical viewpoint, mate.

I reckon we were told to deadline and we simply haven't leaked Jesse's decision since.

Haha. Lobb has the same value as Jesse. Righto. These gronks crack me up.

Naww. Bitters found a wig.

I generally like most posters, BB.

Haha, giving yourself away there.

Who is responsible for financial auditing relating to salary cap matters? If they cared about it, the AFL would have a team inside the integrity unit, but I doubt it.

What a ridiculous salary cap rort.

This seems to be the general consensus now between Melbourne supporters.

O'Rourke was a pick 2 that was traded (with pick 43) after two years to Hawthorn for picks 19 and 40. KK was a pick 5 five years ago who achieved far more in his first year than O'Rourke did in his two years at GWS. Seems like a good, fair trade to me. KK also fits our list profile perfectly.

Because they get banned. I liked RR, E25 and Stuie, but I find myself at odds with him/them on this particular occasion. Hogan hasn't matched Buddy's output yet, but he's only 23 and has much better output to date than many superstar forwards of the past. And as we all know, talls take much longer to hit their straps. I'd back Jesse to win a Coleman one day (at the very least), but at the same time, we have more pressing needs than one gun forward. With our defence being a pressing need, we have Tommy Mac who has stepped into the elite category and a developing Weideman. If we want to win a flag next year or the year after, IMO, we have to bite the bullet and fix our defence as a matter of priority over keeping Hogan. If Jesse wanted to stay, then we'd find another way of getting May, but as this opportunity has presented itself via Jesse's refusal to properly extend his contract, I'm happy to get the maximum compensation out of him - which we will get and even Drags agrees on this point.
