Post subject: Poaching Hogan. Can it be done? | |
|
Bit of chat around about Jesse Hogans contract extension. I might be wrong, but I think he is yet to sign a new contract.
He is a Perth boy, but I don't think he's shown any signs that he want to go back to W.A.
What are Melbourne going to give him? Can we beat it? Can we land the 20 year old FF? His acquisition would solve many issues we'll be facing as Cloke starts to push 30.
TBH, Ive got the shits that Melb have Weideman and I'd love to steal one of their young players, and who better?
So, again, is his loyalty to Melbourne too strong, or can Collingwood make an offer he can't refuse? _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

I'll bet $100 that there's a report of his name being associated with Collingwood, regardless of whether we have any interest or not. |

I doubt that we have anywhere near enough salary cap room for another young gun. Especially after acquiring Treloar, Aish & Howe. _________________ Side by side. |

Would love this to be the case... that we could possibly snare him. But the chances are minimal.
I saw him train with the Dee's a few weeks back & he was dominant. The prize fighter amongst the flock. Is set for a big year individually. but after years in the doldrums, the Dee's will not let him go without a massive fight... read war. & with the time and nurturing that they've put into him, I can't see such a player walking out on his teammates and coaching staff... unless, maybe, they remain miles off finals football.
Cap space shouldn't be a problem, with Trav and Swan nearing the ends of their contracts. It's the ability to convince a marquee forward to defect that is the biggest challenge. We will be heavily into all options though, and if we can rise high this year, whilst other teams stagnate or drop off... look for us to try to capitalise. |

We were able to lure Jessie White from the Swans, I cant imagine it been a problem. _________________ " Ohhh Banksy and out comes the Note Book".

Jessie White is no Jessie Hogan!!!
But I like the idea of sending Jessie White into the midfield as someone reported recently in their training reports. _________________ we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest. |

You'll probably find that Swan, White, Goldsack, Toovey & or Cloke will be pushed out to accommodate any big name player wanting to come to Collingwood next year. _________________ There is Collingwood and then the rest. |

Happy to give Jessie White the flick if it means getting Hogan.
Very much doubt Hogan is leaving MFC _________________ Carlscum 120 years being cheating scum |

It is not even about the salary cap room. We don't have a first round draft pick next year to use as part of any deal which would mean we would have to consider trading out a gun (or potential gun) as part of any deal. Hogan is the player Melbourne are building their team around for the next 10 years and they are not going to give him up and will throw any amount he wants at him to retain him. _________________ Is there any place you would rather be, than with me at the MCG? |

Doubt he'll be going anywhere but this would be the key issue we'd have. Dees would quite rightly expect 2x first round picks and we just can't satisfy them in that regard, currently don't even have 1. |

The AFL would have a word with Eddie if we even looked at it and 'encourage' us to back off.
They have too many millions invested in Melbourne's planned resurrection.
No chance !
Look what they did to Sydney after the Buddy coup.
Not worth it. |
