We'd ask for 5 plus Andrew Brayshaw, and probably settle for 5 plus Langdon or 5 plus Freo 2019 first rounder In that case I'd use 5 to tempt a star like Whitfield or Shiel, though talk is hot on Shiel to Bombers.

That's just ridiculous. He's needed, will stay, unless he has second thoughts. But I'm not as against a trade as others on here, were it to arise. Howerver, your trade scenario is irrational. No way Freo would give up that.

No change, unless key match ups need balance

Mr Leg, where did I say this? I think it would be a great statement for Jesse to re-sign before the October trade period. After all, he loves the club, he loves living in Melbourne and we are on the rise. Gives him certainty during recovery from foot injury and the club would have clarity. I want him to stay, I've posted that repeatedly, but a strong club is more than any one player. No sane person wants to push Jesse out. With his contract coming up in 13 months, wouldn't it be fantastic for him to recommit soon rather than watch it drag on?

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!

I too thought he would struggle too get back in the side. Providing lots of contests and tackles. Looking like he still has significant improvement left in his game too . Lots of upside to VDB

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

Never in doubt ?

Wasteful inside 50. Need to focus.

Probably all on GAJ!

Hogan who?

Sitting next to BBO. Wish I wasn't. He's already told the young ladies next to us that it's "their lucky night!" Edit. They're calling him Harvey. What does that mean?

I guess you're training it to the game then....

Just saw Mitch Hannan at my local cafe enjoying a coffee. Looking very relaxed. Now I'm worried ?

Dermot is a tool. He's only interested in Dermot. Fugazi.

Their precision kicking falls apart quickly under pressure. Richmond showed that tonight. Mitchell may get 40+, but if they are under pressure he is very average and prone to turning them over. Plus they'll be without Stratton. But we need to win vs Geelong first. Nothing else matters at this point.

Hawks playing for individual self preservation now

Jaegar O'Rated not looking like he's worth 2 x first rounders at the moment.

Stratton done a hammy

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....

Nooooooo!!!!! ?

Hyperbole ^

Do you think tackling pressure can be taught to a young player? Do you think our FD would be good at doing this? If the answer is yes, then those numbers could be seen as a baseline for improvement rather than the standard to expect.

That is simply terrible. Could barely put a handful of words together. Hadn't seen before, wish I didn't! Very painful. Heard pizzed punters in the outer speak with more football clarity and insight than that. Thank [censored] that era is behind us.

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