Two NT neutral games is a luxury. We need the wins and playing at the MCG v Port v Freo v Suns v Giants etc is a better chance of winning than at NT. The $$ are now not as critical.

Hope Hogan stays but if he goes we need to get a good deal. Suns will want the Pick 5 for May and not a future 1st round. Reworked below. Otherwise it works. In May, KK, Ed Langdon, Freo 1st round 2019, Suns 2nd round compo pick 30 out Hogan, Tyson, MFC 1st round 2019, MFC 2nd round pick 40, 3rd Round pick 48 (Crows Lever compo)

Tyson for Suns pick 31. 2nd round. KK to Dees for pick 45. 3rd Round. So Suns: TYSON AND PICK 45 Demons : KOLODJASHNIJ AND PICK 31.

Slow progress. I don’t really trust Craig C. Hope the KK deal gets done soon. Maybe waiting on what happens to Hogan and May.

Preuss gives us options and backup. Solid real ruck backup. Fingers crossed that he will be onboard.

If it was the choice of eagles or demons then I would care. But it’s another Kangas miss !! perhaps S$$$cully and Kangas are the perfect match.

Yes. I’ll keep Jesse if he wants to stay. But if his life is better with family in the Wild West than we all move out.

Shhhh. Lockhart is a late pick option around 60+. Depending on list spots available, Lockhart may be a rookie. He fits the small defender role perfectly, as a backup for Jetta. Good skills. Good strength over the footy.

Yes Max wants to preserve himself. It was a big year and Max was physically battered by the end. Preuss provides real relief, backup and support.

Yes kolofhgdjjkjki fills the half back quarterback role perfectly. Good news.

Yes Tyson has had chances but his turnovers outweigh his accumulation of the footy.

If Hogan goes, we have the coin to offer Gaff. 6 years for $900000 a year !!!

115 pages wow

Yes it does not impact us. My point was to make sure Jesse gets a good deal. He is leaving for family reasons but want him to get his right $$$. I think Hogan was about ready to take his game to a new level in 2019. We need to get 2 x 1st rounders (maybe even Freo 1st pick in 2018 draft and Freo future 1st pick in 2019 draft)

Why May??? We have two very good key backs and Lever is back in 2019 we need outside pace we need a Kelly Shiel or Gaff now one is gettable

Yes Hogan was a Melbourne player. Our messiah. Big key forward described as the next Wayne Carey. Injuries and the go home factor mean we may not see his best in red and blue. MFC NEEDS TO MAKE FREO PAY TOP DOLLAR BOTH IN CONTRACT $$$ PLUS TWO FIRST ROUND PICKS

Need to do a strong deal i wanted hogan to stay but now must get in two top 10 picks.

Agree. He could be a risk worth taking.

Yes yes yes to KK. (KK easier than Kolidhjjhfhdashji) he is skilled with excellent left foot delivery plus length physically ready to go the concussion issues are the point to discuss but I am confident MFC can help this be put behind him a risk but is exactly the player we need should be a pick 30-50 draft pick exchange. Kent’s Stkilda trade pick probably gets it done

Good call

Definitely want to keep Hogan. Definitely. But if he wants to go home and Freo did the right deal (2x 1st round picks) then Dees must work out the best outcome. Could Freo offer their current pick 6 (assume Suns get pick for Lynch compo)and Ed Langdon. That would be tempting.

He has the goods we need. Pace skills goal kicking

Kent to Saints Lonie to Kangas Preuss to Demons

Yes Kent for pick 57. Use it on youngster like Lachlan McDonnell (Stingrays) or VFL Upgrade like Marty Hore (Collingwood vfl)

May to Collingwood makes sense. Not to Melbourne. His cost and role would sacrifice too much. We need to get another classy outside mid such as Beams, Gaff, Kelly etc. skilled deliverer into the fwd50.
