It doesn't suit their purposes because they need to sell hope. Another year under the dour Ross Lyon and no sign of tangible improvement. They need Hogan and they'll desperately pay to get him. Wowza. And Rosco's pregnant.

I'm trying to recall. Have we ever traded with GCS?

Perhaps.

Yeah, but the two aren't mutually exclusive. In my view, the club is driving this because Hogan has refused to extend past next year. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd all initially put off contract talks until the year of the season. Once we lost to WC over in Perth, our list management team sat down with Hogan and his reps, and asked him whether he'd extend. When he refused, we encouraged him to explore his options.

Yep. Clear to me too we're driving this. I expect Freo are posturing RE: Neale being worth more than a first rounder to placate their supporters when they have to give up two first rounders up for Hogan. Still, bizarre tactics from Freo given they in turn undermine their own negotiations over Jesse's worth. Unless, of course, a deal has already been struck between us and then it becomes merely an attempt to save face with their restless supporter base.

Hahaha, the guy is a deadset muppet. How stupid can you be?

Earlier in 2018. ?

He's been waiting for this moment for how many years? Wouldn't want to be washing his pants tonight.

I've never said it's that simple. But I have said games are won in the midfield more often than not.

Because West Coast's midfield is a lot more consistent than ours...

That's West Coast, who did not lead the competition for inside 50s and clearances.

Indeed.

Who can remember who West Coast's key forwards were in their 2006 premiership year? It's still won in the midfield. Who won the North Smith medal this year? Kennedy or Shuey?

I'd argue outside pace is one area you could get us. That's why I'd go hard with that remaining pick and our own future first rounder for a gun mid with toe.

I'd forgotten he was their list manager. That might explain why GCS don't rate KK...

That'll go down well with Tom...

I'm pretty sure PD wasn't insinuating we'd hold onto the future first rounder in that situation. More that this would give us another asset to bring in a ready-made player now.

The Doctor is a gronk.

Absolutely no way West Coast haven't also been in his ear in that time.

Who'd have thought we'd be thanking the scum of Meth Coast?

Aww. You changed your name back mate and didn't amend it to Rod Grinder. Why not?

Maybe. Particularly, if we did the delaying.

All these journos look like idiotic econ kids to me.

Disagree. That's true depth. Besides, it'd be a horses for courses situation and form-related. The best place to be in. Particularly, as two of those four guys are in the twilight of their careers.

Weren't they the same terms that Dangerfield gave Geelong too?
