Just had a funny vision.
We could realistically have McCarthy, Hogan and Bennell in our forward line with occasional stints by Our captain, Nathan Fyfe in 2018.
Michael Walters in a pocket would probably be our vice captain by then too.

Late edit: I honestly didn't see those above posts. I started keying after post about mel praying we land McCarthy.

Ballard has more upside than Michie IMO. He really does have to be a beast ball winner to make it but, role has little margin for error, plenty of that type get thrown on the scrap heap.

I think we ended up getting Grey for Michie which has turned out in our favour IMO
Grey has a lot more upside than Michie who hasn't cracked consistently into a Melbourne team.

Freo need to least get, one or two worthwhile new players from elsewhere, instead of shuffling or rearranging the 'chairs' of personnel on the deck, to utilise for any new match styles and plans.

I thought Hogan had already signed with Demons, unless they're re-doing it. Not sure how it works myself but this is interesting

I have know doubt Melbourne are shitting their pants about this kid. They haven't had anyone this good since Robbie Flower.

If we don't get McCarthy we're one year closer to having a crack at Hogan. Even if we get McCarthy we'll have a crack at Hogan.

If he's showing any sign of wavering, they need to push for his signature now.

All these players demanding out before contracts end would have their freckles twitching and Hogan is THE one we would get jiggy with. He'd be the only one in the league that Ross and Bond would sell them own mothers for.

As much as I would love to have hogan, melbourne losing him would be soul destroying for their supporters. I dont think we would hold the currency to trade for him or have the cap space to lure him when he is a free agent. Only way would be if we were a powerhouse and melbourne a basketcase when he is a free agent imo.
