Yes, we will get enquiries. No harm looking at what's available and talking to Jesse about his next contract. His current one expires in 13 months. It's a fair conversation to have, especially with the development of Weid. Those saying Hogan should play as a tall mid are completely missing his main strength: a big bodied, contested marking beast. Any other team would stick him at CHF or FF and say "clunk a stack and kick a handful". We have such tall riches that we're actually talking about making him into a running mid??? Madness!

Che??? Can't see why you went back so far to quote me. At the time Weid could well have been considered whipping boy. Nothing to see here

TIME TO CLOSE THE THREAD!!! WHY? BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF SOME THINGS I THINK ARE STUPID, THAT'S THE REASON!! I LOVE HYPERBOLE AND I THINK CAPITALS MAKE MY VIEWS BETTER!!!!!! Sorry to shout....

Hyperbole ^

Watching The Kid waxing lyrical endlessly on The Front Bar. Is there a person alive more self absorbed than Dermot Brereton? Sheesh!

Big Max has played a lot of footy this season. Its worth remembering that he's had a number of knee recos and other significant leg injuries. King appears a bust, possibly Flipper too. Will Pedo be on our list next year? We are one knee tweak away from being caught with our rucking pants down. I like the idea of Preuss playing some kpf and some ruck. But as others have said, we will be too tall with 4 big men in the seniors forward line. So does Preuss play at Casey in 2019, or does Weid play there, or are there other factors at play..... ?

As his confidence builds, so too will his contested grab numbers. A lot of upside to this kid. Could be a marking beast in 3 years time

Nor do I think they'd part with 5 and Cerra/Brayshaw

I think it's time for posters to stop demanding the thread be closed because others are interested in respectfully discussing Hogan's hypothetical trade value, likely or not.

Keen cricket talent as well. Could be draft bolter http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-03/afl-clubs-crystalballing-cricketing-draft-bolter

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???
