Hogan for Freo’s first pick from this year and next. Would get us in early to a strong draft, and keep some high end talent coming into the club.
Hogan isn’t a generational player. He is a mobile CHF that can dominate against weak sides but goes looking for a rock to crawl under in big games. He can’t kick it 50 metres and is constantly making life hard for our midfield due to his s**t leading patterns. And he’s hopeless defensively. It’s no coincidence in my opinion that a lot of our big wins were sans Jesse.
I’d play TMAC at FF and either Trac, Tim Smith, Pedo or Weid at CHF. Out of all of those guys I reckon Pedo would be the most likely.

Agree with some of that. Maybe a decent forward coach would sort him out. Tell him, no, he's not Nick Riewoldt, and he needs to play to a structure and be predictable for his teammates so they know where to kick it and where to be for the crumbs. TMac is fitter, faster and more mobile, so if anyone is going to go wandering to burn their opponent off and run around the ground, it should be him.
Would still do this.
What a pathetic game last night from hogan. While I'm at it, I've been one of oscar most loyal supporters, but last night was pathetic. Would want to turn it around very quickly. That soccered goal of Hawkins he showed zero desperation to kill the ball. And his positioning against Hawkins was atrocious.
Love Jesse but starting to think he just can’t do much in a high pressure game with no space like last night. Isn’t a great pack mark and struggles to get separation on his opponent when he can’t run them around on a big ground.
What senior players are possibly out there who we could trade in? Lewis and Vince are cooked. I guarantee if we had Hodge in our team last night, we win. The leaders we have are poor and clearly can't get us over the line in close games. In fact, time and time again it is our kids who stand up when the game is on the line..
So who is out there that could replace Lewis, Vince and in time Jones?

Guys we're not gonna trade our leading goalkicker (2nd in average per game) for a few high draft picks.
I know he hasn't been great in some big games but Jesus Christ

You're right, but maybe we should. Would definitely rather have had Tom Lynch in the fifty last night.
The fact he tries to stand his ground and wrestle with blokes like blicavs and Henderson, just played into their hands. Its beyond dumb. Are our coaches so scared of feeding him some home truths about his general play for fear he will go back to Perth or something? Of course I sypathisize with his last couple of years, but surely there comes a time when someone tells him that he is wasting himself playing like this instead of working harder to get separation and lead. It just infuriates me.
Thst said, the way some of our midfielders kick it to him probably doesnt help at times
I don't like Hogan. Even when he's kicking bags I don't like him. His mentality and effort are atrocious. I believe the majority of games where he's played well, we would have won without him anyway because they were against such weak opposition. The only game I recall where he actually stood up and tried to win the game off his own boot was against St Kilda a couple of years ago. We lost because Reiwoldt kicked 7, but Hogan kept us in it.
But I can concede our forward setup is not suiting him. He likes to work into space yet our forward 50 is constantly congested. So we either get rid of him and get someone in who can play the gameplan, or change the gameplan. Hogan had space in that St Kilda game by the way.
I like him up the ground more as that big clearance midfielder and he has a nice field kick, but he doesn't do it better than our pure midfielders.

Definitely feels like he gets the kid glove treatment. I’ve never heard the coaches do anything other than goo over him and he’s been close to our worst player in every big game this year. Step the * up.

Hey fellas, I finished with you guys in the BigFooty Trial Mock. In the end I only made one selection but the two previous were ones I would have taken anyway. You ended up with:
31. Shane McAdam (185 cm/84 kg general forward): The one I wouldn't have taken. He probably makes it but is too similar to Fritsch and Hannan for me and isn't as good kicking wise.
44. Isaac Quaynor (180/82 half back): I really like Quaynor and he would probably be the one I'd take at 31, but he'd be matched by Collingwood almost guaranteed. Instead I'd be taking Riley Grundy, I feel like you need that extra tall defender as well.
49. Toby Bedford (176/65 small forward): Bedford is slight yes but his core strength is excellent and he brings others into the game with that ability. He doesn't hit the scoreboard as much as I like, but he'll be a player IMO.
85. Nick Hind (180/75 outside midfielder): Hind is a quick midfielder who has great tenacity but his size holds him back. Usually is a very good kick, but can spray it when he doesn't settle over it.
If it were me it would have been Quaynor/Grundy/Bedford/Hind.

Hodge directs play so clearly for the Lions defence. Don't see any of that from Lewis.

TMac's contract already looking like the bargain i thought it was when we signed him a few weeks ago.
Most overrated player going is Tom lynch.
Thank you! I honestly thought i was the only one that thought this.
