No chance till after state election.

I heard PJ asked about it in the podcast last night. He did not actually answer the question. Talked about the proposed facility and said a couple of times any building will not be in parkland. But never said what the chances were. Probably due to the political nature of getting approval. My guess 50/50. But you can guarantee there will be no decision till after state election.

Geelong at Geelong!

Well Hogan is gone and surprise surprise the sun came up this morning. Now on to the draft which not very long ago was the highlight of our year. Until then banana on my muesli this morning.

Not a bad drop by any means. Enjoy!

What sort?

Overall I think we did well. Got Hogan off with his big salary who did not want to be in Victoria as well his other issues for a first and second round pick.

Yes you are greedy.

Rain what's that?

What those stats don't show is how often the ball was coming into the forward line. The backs at GCS every week were on a hiding to nothing. Don't forget this was the worst side since the MFC in 2012.

IMO if we accept 5 only that will show how badly we want him off the list.

What about the 12 months in between?

A count down might be in order Mr. Leg!

Would you expect them to say we want him out because......... I don't think so that would total undo their negotiating position. Of course we want him in 2019 right up until point Freo meets our demands.

I believe there is a reason rjay but like the rest of us it is unknown to us mere mortals. Two things are strange to me. - Dees put up no fight to keep him - Freo very interest and have chased him for years then at the 11th hour pull out. There is a reason we just don't what it is. I could guess but the laws of the land prohibit that action.

BF I would be surprised if that did not incur a suspension. That name is not allowed on this thread. Absolutely unforgivable !

Be careful you are not shooting the messenger P-man

On SEN this morning Watson said that Freo don't want to make the same mistake they made with Bennell. Hmm interesting comment!!!!!!

Some years ago this thread was created as an escape from the discussion a certain Hawthorn bound player. I feel the need to escape a potential bolter to the west coast of the country. How is the world tonight fellow banana lovers?

It ain't over yet!

Are we all sure we have all the information? I don't think so.

I think he is a bit further north Mr. Leg, you might need to man the Brisbane international terminal.

They will last as long as the next deal that suits them Mr Leg. Self interest is the chief motivator of AFL clubs.

Have you ever considered that we may not know all the info on Hogan?

Funny isn't it almost everyone wants the MFC to be tough in trade talks. Well they have been it would seem and it would appear Freo blinked first. As you say still some days to go. Sunday lunch at Mr. Bells club might change things.
