I’d say Hogan would’ve been given the weekend to make up his mind so the negotiations can begin.
A lot of clubs would be waiting on this particular decision as it affects quite a few trades.
If we lose Hogan, Kent, Vanders and Tyson and get May , Preuss and Kolojashnij in return then that is unders.
There has to be another big fish in the pipeline somewhere.
On the final siren site they said that Luke Parker could be part of the equation.
Of the two picks we get for hogan one goes to the suns for May and the other goes to Sydney along with Vanders for Parker.
They may be putting pressure on Jesse to extend his contract, and if not leave now so we can set ourselves with what we need to challenge for the premiership.
Its now or never.
I think if Kelly leaves Geelong it’ll be back home to WA.
Im really hoping to get an A+ mid out of all this , as well as May .
Gaff or Shiel would be amazing but could be someone out of left field , as we now have an extra 850k a year to spend.
Would end up being a good trade period ending up with May, Preuss,Kolidashnij , and another A grade mid.
Maybe we are going so hard at Preuss because we know Jesse is leaving and the third tall in the forward line will be resting ruckman?
Why else would Preuss leave North if not guaranteed game time?
May and Preuss will improve our side.
Imagine if we had them last week.
May on Kennedy and Preuss stretching the two west Coast ruck man, making it harder to tag just Max and giving us a really tall option up forward.
