ignition.

As time goes on, Scully yet again shows he's one of those all-round sh*t blokes.

Just get West Coast interested and watch Fremantle fold quick smart.

Can someone make a few internet memes (to share on the social media sites)? Freo chase Hogan for the best part of four years to only pull out when asked for two first round picks (e.g. 5 and 11). Ironically they wanted nothing less than Pick 2 for Lachy Weller last year, who at best is worth an early second round pick.

.

With Preuss coming in and Weideman pushing for selection, I don't see a problem. T. MacDonald can always rotate back. He'll be more capable than his brother.

Freo demanded Pick#2 (2017) for Weller, what didid they expect we'd let Hogan go for? What a bunch biased armatures. Typical Fremantle, they just can't finish.

I like the idea of swapping Tyson for Preuss. However, I only hope Mahoney and Co. push for a little more than a direct trade. Say start with a second-round pick, and settle with a third, or swap of a second and third. Alternatively, salary cap payment of Preuss. Why, because we know that Tyson is North's contingency to Gaff. I predict their salary cap savings won't roll over again (someone can clarify this, but is it two years non-fulfilled salary cap, 5% max, can roll over?). Furthermore, Tyson is a 100+ game player, former number three draft pick (if that means anything), while Preuss has only 8 games and is a former rookie selection. I presume one of the sides is currently pushing for a little more, which would explain the delay.

If the Hogan deal goes ahead, I hope we target Shiel as we'll have room in our salary cap and sufficient currency to trade.

It's a shame to see him go. I always enjoyed his enthusiasm and professional attitude. Even after a loss, it was obvious it cut him deep. Thanks for the years Burgs.

Hahahaha so we are actually in agreeance. Thank you. Also yes, I couldn't agree with you more. There is significant upside and potential with regards to his age, talent, and relation price.

As above, I don't mind targetting him, as long as it doesn't consume significant amounts of our time or draft currency during trade week. Now let's put it into perspective because far too many times I've seen the hype consume posters at this time of year (it's like listening to bitcoin talk in a cafe' at the end of 2017). Now don't give me that PR garbage about "I'll look at net gains and net losses" at the end of trade week. The players are scrutinised for every decision and execution during a match, so should the recruiting staff. Firstly, do you consider Kolodjashnij in the same league as T.Mitchell, O'Meara, Treloar, Adams (all a few years ago), and Shiel (who is potentially available and should be at the top of our list)? Secondly, if you're hyping up Kolodjashnij state what you think he's worth or at least in relation to those above. I've said a third-round pick, but in fairness, I could accept a late-second. That's where I rate, it's not that hard to do, what about you?

Hahahaaa owe come on ProDee don't be like that On a serious note, what would you be willing to pay?

I've also seen him play and didn't think much of him. As for being a GC player, I don't see it as an excuse. Shiel, Treoloar, Adams, Greene, Swallow, Prestia, and O'Meara were all in similar if not the same position and excelled in their early years. I do agree with your point regarding his age. I'm certainly not against targetting him. I'm just curious what you and everyone here considers reasonable payment?

How is it ridiculous? The question is, will or won't Hogan be traded? If the rumour is true, then it warrants discussion (It has been well established MFC clubmen and the members of the media read demonland). Considering that Hogan's contracted, we as a club should be asking for the farm. That would include at least two first round and a second-round draft pick, or alternatively, as proposed above a first-round pick and a talented young player. What is more ridiculous are fans sitting idle on the matter. If I'm to see another trade period where we get bent over, whilst acquiring another let's-be-friends "fair trade", I'll be the first to call for Mahoney's head.

I don't see where the excitement comes from. He's significantly underperformed since entering the system, nothing excuses that (e.g. being a member of the G.C Suns). Third round pick at best.

Considering Hogan is in contract, Freo or any club should be paying overs (none of the "fair trade" Mahoney rubbish). I'd expect at least two first round draft picks (inc. this year's pick 5) and a second round pick. Freo players are out of the question. Can't see us getting Neale, Fyfe, or to even a lesser extent Matera. Plus, they should be taking the full extent of his current salary cap (+ more if possible).

Find replacements for Tyson and ANB while at it. They'll never be stars.

Hi all, MCC members, I've got a single free seat on ground level Isle 43 as my Nana is no longer attending.

A win today on the back of last weeks, considering both opponents are worthy adversaries, will set our stage for finals.

YES!!!!

PLEASE TAKE THE FULL 30, AND KICK THE GOAL.

SH*T just got real. Brayshaw on without his helmet. Captain Planet summoned.

1. Our skills going into 50 are rubbish. 2. Allowing them out of 50 is rubbish, 3. These umpires are rubbish.

THESE [censored] SKILLS!

These umpires will kill us!
