if KK does well tomorrow he can go straight in.

we didnt get rid of Hogan sadly Hogan got rid of us .Weed continues to improve incrementally and hopefully will make a quantum leap forward at some stage this year.However he will never be as good as Hogan .

not as huge as the doubt on Hannans fitness.

final round 1987 against the Bulldogs for sure .Drama all day- Gary Lyon breaking his leg, watching Glenn Lovett and Sean Wight drive us into attack time after time and listening at the end on the tranny(meant transistor in those days)as Jason Dunstall kicked the 2 matchwinners for Hawthorn.What A day !

i think it may have been an oblique reference to a sponsor for the back of jumper rather than the Bank of Japan

It was generally a good session and well received by the impressive crowd .I thought the stand out was Joel Smith .He clunked everything and looked the fittest I have seen him .His kicking was ok as well

Shouldn't be in Freo colours .An ill conceived and particularly poorly executed trade .However he is opposition and can no longer be a favourite .

A pretty good year at Aspley . Very popular at the club,3rd in the best and fairest and an interchange selection in NEAFL team of the year .However hasnt improved since leaving us and it would be a big leap of faith to put him on The Suns list .

the interesting and probably disappointing comment from josh was that Jesse was happy to stay if we couldn't broker a satisfactory trade .Doesn't seem that we were forced to take 6 and 23 because Jesse was insisting on a trade ,more just a statement of preference.A tragedy if this becomes the difference in winning or not winning this years flag .

Or the " Why did we ever do that trade For Jesse thread "!

All a bit late .No point asking these questions unless you need to somehow internally justify an unjustifiable trade .Perhaps there was some to date unreported attempts at lateral negotiations involving Brayshaw and others but as best as I can see we just took what Freo offered which was not nearly enough.

marvel at how we were able to get match winner jesse back on the list.

with respect that is not an answer to the question who won the trade We got Salem and Tyson, GWS got Kelly and clearly won the trade .I agree that if we had not made that trade and then drafted Billings over Kelly that would have been an even worse outcome .

In answer to the specific question of whether we won the Kelly trade, the answer is clearly no .Salem has been generally ok and a reasonable get at 9 .All in all Dom gave pretty good service especially earlier in his time with us . .But Kelly is an out and out champion ,So no win on that part of the draft .

He is an absolute cracker who has had an indescribably unlucky run.He will be be AA in 2019 but sadly not with us.

if it will make her feel better you can tell her that I also broke into tears and said no i dont want Jesse to leave ..But my dog is named Chunk and not Jesse

under our system a person is presumed innocent until he runs out of money

Thats a victory for optimism over reality.We were hooked gutted and filleted .Absolutely incensed that Bell is being referred to as a genius

riches ?.The riches were in the Shiel and Beams trades .

are you sure that they weren't part of the Jesse Hogan trade ? Wouldn't surprise .

your completely wrong.We had a once in a generation key forward and gave him a way for peanuts.If it makes you fell warm and fuzzy by saying that he will return then good luck to you .He has gone .End of story .

The Former no 5 pick was shown the door by a club already facing a mass exodus because he had been seriously tapped on the head too many times.He was of little or no trade value.May is solid but no Hogan .I am with Dr D on this one.

May is not more value to us than Hogan . May is a solid defender.Hogan is player we could have built a premiership challenge around ,That opportunity is lost .

we got shafted ; simple as that . i agree with Dr D that you would not have to complete a Negotiation 101 Course to get 6 and 23 .We wanted 6 and 5 .What a joke .Overs for Lever unders for Hogan ,what a result .Nice guys come last and that is where we will end up with these children handling negotiations. Im absolutely gutted .

probably for Jesse the way this is sliding
