I don’t mind the future pick idea anyways because I suspect freo will have an average year again. Get a top 5 pick this year and next year have two first rounders and a strong position to chase a free agent

Bet you we do, and if that’s not what the club demands they aren’t serious. He’s contracted so freo can pay up or F off

Such as?

Maybe not but if hogan wants to leave you’re tossing up a better deal now or a compo pick potentially next year

Roosy reckons we should just refuse to trade him.

I think Watts they knew they’d get the player they wanted and lever they knew they were going to have to give up 2 to get him. I’m willing to bet we get two for Jesse

Apparently Jeff Garlett going back to Carlton for pick 1 and Patrick Cripps. I believe we are getting screwed in this deal

I’d accept brayshaw and their first rounder for hogan.

He’s contracted and other similar players have been worth 2 picks so that’s what we will get for hogan. Freo are desperate and will cough them up just to get a good player over the line.

If he wants to go, 2 top 10 picks and on ya bike. Bring in may, use the cap space to increase our offer to gaff and get back into the pointy end of the draft. Another pre season into weid and I think he could have a good year of 40 goals as well

That wasn’t based on any info I had sorry mate I just assumed it was bs like usual.

He’s contracted so if they want him cough up your two top 10 picks this year freo. Happy to up our offer on gaff with the room freed up and offer both those picks to try and prize out josh kelly

May is a significant upgrade on Oscar. I think he’s an all Australia quality key back in a decent side.

My big question is can pruess be an effectively enough resting forward or do we lose out on forward pressure having him there. It’s basically him or weid

See I don’t agree, I don’t think we are good enough to mess with things, still too prone to dropping those games to risk it

I’m saying vardy can play forward. Pruess can not. If you’re going to play two rucks the secondary ruck has to be able to play forward

Nothing to see here folks. Jesse hogan will be suiting up in the red and blue round 1 2019. Steven may will not.

The only way you can play 2 rucks is if the second one is a dangerous forward target. Nathan vardy would have been a good get when he was on the market for this reason. I don’t see pruess being any more than backup and it’s weird that he’d want to come to us when sides like the cats, dogs and eagles are desperate for a number one ruck

He’s apparently got a ridiculous offer from the dockers in front of him but seriously why would anyone go near that mob? If he did request a trade (which he won’t I don’t believe) id be asking for pick 6 and the pick they get For Neale likely 4

I would offer kelly a massive deal. He is exactly what our team needs. He is the sort of player who would take us from very good to great potentially.

Would personally have a serious look at jack Martin. If he wants to come back to vic I think his class and speed would be very handy for us up forward.

My view of the best 22 for next year Lever Oscar Jetta salem. Frost. Hibbo jones. Oliver. Harmes petracca. Hogan. Vanders melksham McDonald. Weideman gawn. Brayshaw. Viney. Lewis. Nibbler. Hannan. Fritsch I think Lewis will be under pressure to keep his spot just given his age but he’s good enough to play his role and hold it jones will need to settle into a slightly different role. Maybe up forward. Not sure he’s good enough overhead to play back all the time. Could also be a tagger. Beauty of harmes is he can shut someone down without losing his offensive output oscar I think had improved a lot this year and lever back in will help him a lot. The backs too often don’t talk and fly for the same ball. This needs to be worked on over pre season up forward we will need to work hard on our connection and forward craft. We will become super dangerous when those guys begin to isolate and create space for each other. Too often they all get dragged to the same spot. Tyson isn’t best 22 for mine at this stage and is someone I’d consider offers for. I think he’s worth a pick between 25-35 the addition of some outside pace on the wings would help a huge amount. This gives baker and hunt and opening if they can have a good pre season all in all I think we had a bad day in the prelim but we are close to a flag. We will be better for the run in finals and a huge chance to go one better next year if the hunger remains and the growth continues

They don’t need to restore faith. We have seen improvement year in year out for 5 years. We have played Fanals and won 2 without hogan and lever we won 14 with lever and Viney missing huge chunks of the year we have had young players come through and some seriously develop like James Harmes and Sam frost Most coaches would love our list with the age profile, talent, style and the future ahead of us. we had a mare in the prelim and that’s dissapointing but it doesn’t change the long term direction of this club. we are right on the edge of something very special thanks to Goodwin and co they don’t need to restore faith, we all need to keep it.

Gawns back up has the be the third tall forward. Can’t carry 4. I personally don’t even know about 3 I think we look better with just 2 talls and some good smalls

I wouldn’t mind betting young baker will have a massive pre season and have a serious crack at locking in a best 22 spot next year. I really like him as a player
