ill bite, if we play hogan in the back line who is our real ff? lol Do some people think he will be played down back? I have heard people suggest it, but i dismissed out pretty quickly. He's been a forward for much of his career to date, rated as the best young forward out of the last 2 years drafts (last year).

Just saw that levi greenwood is un-contracted? we need to snap that dude up, 25 years old i think, would be a good get.

good post bud

going out on a limb, but theres somewhat of a chance that he's shopping himself around to clubs that he wants to play at, keeping in mind the best deal for the mfc - i hope. Theres also a big chance that none of that is happening, but its better to be optimistic.

Fair enough, as i said my opinion is based on the scenario that his depression is legitimate. If it isn't, then of course that changes everything. Ive read a lot about it, but I'm really none the wiser - everything I've read is on forums. So for now ill stick with that.

Because if his depression is legitimate, I get that the clubs environment could be a potential trigger. If that is the case then its a shame but it is what it is and he needs to move on.

I think it is pretty clear that he is going elsewhere, which is fine. He has removed the number 11 from his social media accounts - which may not seem like much to some but it certainly is. It's a shame everything happened the way it did, but I wish him all the best.

Atleys a gun, definitely worth a look in

I just watched trenners video on the mfc website. hes had a pretty tough run (most have at mfc), but he's still optimistic. He's a great bloke and I really hope he can get some fitness back this pre season and have a good crack in 2015.

i had faith, however his 2014 has been a real shame and i wouldn't be surprised if his contract was broken. he has some good attributes, but if he can't put it together on game day then thats too bad.

really, seems a bit odd, do they have a shite load of cash or something? They have the basis of a very good team, just under performing atm i think.

very important. I have faith

couldn't be a news break if its clarkson to adelaide, that couldn't possibly be leaked until after the gf surely.

yeh, schroder and burbs looked a lot more promising than our to be delisted players.

apparently hawthorn is interested in clark. straight swap for schoenmakers? I would probably do that. Although if essendons prepared to pay him 500k for 3 years then maybe he's worth more than schoenmakers?

Yep me too. as long as he cut off his hipster pony tail thing lol I think he looks good as a forward, a little persistence and work with roos could do him wonders.

Man, imagine that. Danger back with vince, jones, cross and tyson - that is a very good midfield basis. throw in potentially petrecca, viney, salem watts, potentially trenners and toumpas, guys like viv and riley developing could be handy, if not good players at least role players. these guys feeding it into the man child, dawes, peders, kent, howe. theres a bit to work with there.

Except clark isn't a free agent… so i don't think we can get anything for him unless its via a trade

do you think they would though? I think if they were giving any picks back, it would be a second rounder at best

a few years ago he would've been a great target for us.

id prefer sloane also. Make no mistake, if we strike a deal for danger, picks 2 and 3 (if we get it) will be involved. (unless we get different picks for compensation/assistance) We could get a pick in return. Think about it though, i don't know why its not blatantly obvious why pick 3 and toumpas won't get the deal done. Danger is a proven star. Pick 3 is a chance to be a good player and toumpas is a chance to be a good player. Why would a club trade a proven star for 2 potentially good players? (with no certainty at all) They will want more chance of obtaining quality in exchange.

the way i understood the post was that originally they said 'wait til free agency', but after the recent events they've said 'What can you offer for this coming trade period?'

I wouldn't be surprised if it were.

LOL!
