I assume fritsch has played too many games to qualify for the VFL final..? Poor kid, it’s a ruthless business trying to win flags and he’s very stiff. But I suspect he still has a lot of improvement left in him and will be back even better

Not sure how we could get the trade done.

Dean Kent and a swap of picks seems like a fair deal to me

Have seen him play a couple of times and while I think he’s more of a long term prospect rather than instant impact he clearly has talent. He never gives up on chase and pressure

It’s easy to forget how good jacks footwork is. He can get out of some crazy situations sometimes. My favourite thing about him is when the opposition has a really good player he seems to want to hurt them. Even if it means giving the odd free kick away

My view is Tom McDonald is our best key forward and we play our best football with one deep and another who roams. Hogan is a proven performer and weid has played one amazing game. I think all three can play but we need to work very hard on our connection. Hogan to me is at his best when he works right up the ground and runs back into the 50

If he becomes a free agent as suggested whatever we were going to offer gaff we should offer may.

I’d seriously consider this trade. He’s the gorilla minder, frost can be an offensive weapon and lever third up.

Wouldn’t trade him unless he indicated he intended on leaving. this kid is a special talent and you don’t just let them walk out the door. If zones are introduced having three key forwards of that quality might become a huge advantage

I reckon Ablett is a little bit softer these days avoiding the hard stuff a bit more. I’d be telling the lads to dump him at every opportunity. Send viney straight to Selwood. Let the skippers go head to head. I’m certain in a big final jack will make his mark

For me our bottom 6 is a clear measurement of how our team is going to go. When guys like Mitch Hannan play well, we are bloody hard to beat but they can also go completely missing In games

What did he say?

Yep agreed, he’s an icing on the cake type player for us. I’m sure we will have a look at other options that play a similar role

Based on the rumoured $$ on offer for him I’m not surprised

Jesse reads the game better than anyone else on our list by a mile. It’s certainly worth trying

If Fremantle offered pick 7 and say Adam cerra. And hogan was unsure about staying on beyond next year I think it at least is worth a thought. I think he will be a demon long term and it’ll be a non issue but if hogan were genuinely unsure and even likely to leave I think we are In a position where making the move a year early and getting a good return is worth consideration

I think there is a legitimate question about the direction footy is going about how successful teams with multiple key targets will be. I don’t think losing hogan would be the end of the world. We’d get a lot in return. But I also don’t think we will lose him.

Imagine the meltdown the crows would have if we got lever last year and Sloane this year hahahaha hahahah

I reckon lever gets the number 9

This kid is 100% worth it. He’s a proven performer and a leader who at 21 should be an A grader and around the mark of all Australian for us for a decade. Draft picks are always a bit of a gamble and we are the only ones who walk away from this deal with proven value.

I don’t mind the deal. Effectively 10,12 and a fourth rounder for lever ( a proven nearly all Australian standard defender at 21) pick 35 and probably around 50. Given all draft picks carry risk I don’t think it’s correct to assume they’ll be a star. I think this is very much a win-win deal

I don’t mind the deal for two picks if we get one back. Not really a believer in the super draft idea.

That’s a very good deal if we can swing that.

On top of aggressively chasing a contracted Bryce Gibbs, Steven Motlop and others. Tex has a loose grasp of reality. Especially considering he’s on a mint himself

The crows need to have a talk to tex because this is getting stupid. The crows haven’t achieved anything yet and we are improving consistently every year and loaded with top end talent. If we don’t overtake the crows in 2018 we definitely will in 2019 jake will have just as much chance if a flag with us in the next three years as at the crows. Tex has made himself look silly
