If we start heading up the ladder again it all changes. See what 2018 brings.

Going to be a busy few days ahead.
Matera - No matter what Lloydy says will be tied up into the Weller deal.
Wilson - No way GWS trade until the Weller deal goes through to see if they can get something better.
Weller - We should run the risk, be willing to walk away with nothing in 12 months time to extract maximum value. GC want a publicity win this year.
Balic - We're going to get F-all for him, not sure what the hold up is.
Martin/Hogan....
Should be an exciting few days. Hopefully Freo come out stronger.

I am fine as long as more WA players start coming home.
Far better outcome as only 11% teams are from WA but the proportion of WA players in the league is higher than that.
How? We lost most upcoming talent was ready to take the next step.
Our percentage was second bottom.
How many wins without Sandilands?
It's looking more and more like they'll make him walk to the PSD.
Ricky Nixon reporting a hogan deal is close

To use Bennell as a comparison he's just as natural with the ball as he is when he's on. Despite his size he can actually play taller and matches up good one on on, has a monster leap, never loses his feet, fast pace line-breaker who also has insanely good goal sense. He can play anywhere too.
22 years old with 60+ games experience already - 2017 was his first full season of playing also. Kicked 24 goals despite playing in the middle and going to both CHF / CHB for parts of games.
If we get him to his home state and surround him with real culture and leadership then we could get more out of him and have him for his prime - which is scary good to think about.
Never doubt Kimberley products.

Can you screenshot? It’s “private” for me
Edit: ah, might be hard to do that for a video
Who knows? I'm not Nostradamas. Just saying if we start improving and climbing the ladder it will help with player retention.
Has stupid levels of talent and I think would be worth the punt based on that. Looked like he was about to break out in the second half of the season this year.
If Hogan leaves and these guys are right, they'll become the most watched show during trade period for the next 10 years. They'll be massive and everyone will listen to them and no one else. I don't think Hogan is coming. But please God, bring Hogan to us.
I'm still refusing to believe it. The skeptic in me says the namedrop brings in the clicks.

Hang on, what's he got right so far? If you've got the scoopla you publish it (e.g. Hack on the Mitchell trade last year). He has just spouted a few generalities that can be twisted to sound like inside knowledge after the fact. How is he involved in player management? Isn't he specifically barred from doing so? I also thought the only reason he was 'at trade week' is that somehow sportsnewsfirst have a journalistic accreditation for it.
Nah he is still what he has been for a while: A disgraced former agent trying make a career as a media fringe dweller through a crack and alcohol induced fog.

Makes sense if Balic may be being held as part of a bigger trade...
It would be handy to have someone who can take over Walters' role in the forward line and be able to deliver like him so Walters can run through the midfield for 80% of the game. Martin's addition alone would help fix a lot of things.
Clearly the main objective for this trade period is for Fremantle supporter's heads to explode.
We have pick #5, woohoo! Hogan might be coming. No, he's not. Croz gone. Hogan's definitely coming. Definitely not coming. We want Fogarty. Weller drops a bomb. Upgrade #5? He's worth more than Wilson. How about a dozen 2nd rounders? We're asking for pick #2. We want UDL. How about Martin? Wilson + Matera for Weller, **** off. Lloydy better not **** this up or he's gone. Hogan's coming again. Conca for Balic, yuk!

Dont get caught up in that video. He cant lose by saying "we are close." If it doesn't come through he sticks with it being close and got clicks and views anyway. If Jesse for some unknown reason does change his mind then as was said, they become the most watched trade show around. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. Hogan aint coming, get pick 2 for Weller and move on =)
