I've had this strange fear of speed bumps whilst driving. But I'm slowly getting over it....

Would end Pedo's career.

I disagree Wise. IMO all list managers would be negligent to not be aware of the market value of their players. How else do they renegotiate new contracts or do trades? Jesse's contract ends in 14 months. They would assess the risk of player departing and do a cost/benefit. No one wants to be caught with their pants down. There are no serious indicators of Hogan leaving, so this is purely hypothetical. But this is a footy forum where people are permitted (by the grace of mods, of course) respectful discussion of 'what if's'. You can hold your breath til you are blue, but we will still be here!

Wild speculation and footy forums go hand in hand Neil!

Heres a couple of questions to the outraged on here: Who thinks that Taylor, Mahoney and Todd Viney haven't weighed up Hogan's market value and looked at scenarios should he want to move clubs, or for that matter if other clubs make big offers? If you think they have, why can't it also be discussed respectfully here?

Sheesh, Wise. Why all the agro and condescension? Some of us are discussing Hogan's hypothetical value. Do you think the FD don't weigh up his worth? I do not believe Bub is being disrespectful. None of us want him to leave. You make it sound that by shouting down free speech (a term which i generally dislike), you win. That's how Stuie used to operate, you know... Just sayin'

I think that's a bet we'd lose GCD

Seems unlikely Gaff will be a Dee next year. So what are our options then? Seems to be a bit of chatter about Dayne Beams.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time Jaded

I'd say he underbelieves. One thing is for certain, IF Hogan goes to Freo, at least he'll get favourable WA home ground umpiring for his constant free kick whinging (ducks and runs for cover...)

Neither of those are fact or necessarily true.

Reports that Vic clubs are sniffing around Chad Wingard. Any info on this Scoop @Ethan Tremblay???

Helpful when you lose your marbles and move in with the blue rinsers, dc!

Great awareness this kid

Speaking In Tongues? Fear of Music?

Careful Wise, it sounds like you are talking considered, hypothetical outcomes, albeit unlikely.

That bit we can both agree upon.

Nice hyperbole again Wise. As many have said here, including me, the untradables are Oliver and Gawn. But if Dangerfield can be traded for go home factor, then anyone can. So knock yourself out mate.

Mate, we don't want Jesse traded. We are discussing the scenarios in the event that the might be traded. You know... he may one day request a trade. Or perhaps another club makes the mother of all trade offers, unlikely as it is. If you bothered to read the last couple of pages rather than just the thread title before you post you would see some pretty good discussion on this. Of course everyone wants to retain Jesse and see him reach his full potential. That should go without saying. And FYI, Hogan has not kicked 50 in a season.

OD how dare you be perfectly reasonable in only 7 words! If Hogan was having 2nd thoughts and a trade with Freo could land us Cerra and pick 5 (or similar) and we could package up 5 and our 2nd rounder for Whitfield, Cogniglio or Shiel, I think we'd have to seriously consider it. Would it improve our list? Yes. Does it fill needs that we currently have? Yes. Is it win/win? Yes

May?

Billings, pass.
