See Toby Bedford thread -
I recall someone saying that he turned up at half time for one of the home finals games. Can't remember details, so grain of salt.

"Reportedly", is the key word. My point was the shouting down some posters received a couple of weeks ago for discussing Hogan's trade value and whether the club and Hogan could be open to a trade. As an aside, what's the difference between being open to a trade and wanting to be traded?

Wrong Wise. There's always been talk about Hogan and Freo. Always. The current talk is still media talk, but now you're jumping on board?? It was always going to wind up as trade week got closer. This trade period is particulary frenzied. He might go, might not, but if you must continue, you'd do well to re-read this thread and pay attention to those of us who rationally discussed trade options 40+ pages ago. And yes, I'd like to have a cape. Can I also have a mask and tight shorts?

That's what I was thinking, given Preuss' desire to get more game time in the seniors. He's a handy player when positioned forward, and has done some impressive things there in his limited games at Norf. Maybe Goodwin has told Preuss that there's a forward/ruck spot for him in the knowledge Hogan will go.

Far more? Has this come from Jesse? His management? Goodwin? The club? Or just mixed media reports in which "it is understood"? What's changed, apart from your nervousness? After all, he is apparently happy at the club and settled in Melbourne, which must be true, so he surely can't be traded, right???? Posters such as Bub, Febes and I have put up with a bunch of outragists shouting us down or demanding the thread be closed simply because we dared to discuss Hogan being tradable for the right price. Now you are doing the same, despite nothing from anyone outside of the media. Not your finest hour Wise. Might only be 2 weeks away from serving up a big slice of humble pie to a few on here, as much as I'd rather not.

Am I on the right planet? For a guy that ridiculed other posters for speculating on Hogan's trade worth, said he was settled in Vic and loved the club, and that it was a media waste of time..... you have certainly changed your tune Wise. Now you're speculating what we could get for him! FMD I've seen it all!!! I have a sneaky suspicion that this thread will uncover a few more turncoats in the next two weeks. It's like watching an approaching car accident: will they hit or will it be a near miss?

Sure this isn't a #pedomyth?!!! ? Got to hand it to him, Pedo gave his all for the team. Presented himself for selection weekly with little fuss and maximum effort. Truly an honorable servant of the club. I wish him and his family nothing but gratitude and best wishes.

Same height as Cyril Rioli. Just sayin'....

He can choose the suitor, regardless of offer, but Eagles have the right to match
Can you wrap that up in a riddle please Prodee?
Crows give McGov and pick 7, Carlton give up pick 1?
Jesse won't be pleased the hands in the back rule will be discontinued next year. He'll have little to hissy fit about. ... ducks head ?
Where's the full stop?
Unless Frost is traded as part of a package. It would be fair to say his stocks are on the rise at the moment, having had a good last month. Omac at FB, May at CHB, Lever intercept 3rd tall(ish) I too would like to see Hogan tried in the backline, which may disrupt the above. May is an upgrade from Frost.
Don't know about that. It made me chuckle!
Or... rather than troll, you could just not open it. Simples!
It's the stupid brain fades that get on my goat. The punch to the guts off the ball. The attempting to punching the ball into the crowd from an on the full, very lucky not to be given 50m. I'm flabbergasted a guy with over 300 games does stupid, faux tough stuff like this, particularly in big games. I think he may get a handful of games next year, but will mostly be of use as an assistant, assuming he's not coaching 'Brain Fades 101'.
2016 shows what he's capable of: 43 contested marks from 21 games, equal 9th, and all but one above him played more games that season. That year he was a contested marking beast playing as a key position forward. Obviously last year and this year he has had injury, illness and personal reasons for missing games. Plus he's been used this season as a running high HF and mid/wing where contested marking isn't high on the player stats. IMO he should play a greater % of time as a leading key forward. Not all, just more. I've said before I'd like Jesse to stay beyond 2019, and I acknowledge he is settled in Victoria. But his value certainly can be discussed and I'm sure Jason Taylor and Todd Viney have done so. Due diligence in an era where contracts mean little and trade landscapes shift quickly. There are many allegedly shifting this year regardless of contracts, denials and free agency: Shiel, Lobb, Hanners, Neale, Polec, May, Wingard, etc, though each has their own individual circumstances. Most of those were 'settled' 6 or 12 months ago.
How is Ricky 'TootToot' Nixon these days? ?
