Melbourne people not officially from the club are saying it’s not Melbourne driving this so it sounds like it’s not as though we are offering him up, he has said he’s open to a move if a deal can be done.

That’s his value, not what it’d take to get him. Saints seriously overrating their list

Don’t mind jack lonie. Straight swap?

Has asked to be traded to the saints.

Nah because we could convince him to stay or another club could get in his ear. They are desperate to sign a big name and will cough up to make it happen.

Kid is an absolute jet.

May significantly improves our side right now. He’s been high quality in an awful side and with us should rise to a new level.

Could we offer a deal to Carlton say pick 4, and Jayden hunt for pick one and try and get our paws on young Walsh? Kid is going to be a genuine star in my opinion. If not it’s Smith for me. I’d avoid the king brothers. Don’t rate them as highly as some

In that scenario I’d want pick 6 and 9 but there is a bit of chatter they might also be keen on dean Kent. Not sure if that would be a seperate deal

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
