Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Hogan was massive overs given the question marks over his injury problems and his love of colombian produce.I don't think any neutral supporter looks at the trades we've done with Melbourne at the time and would say we got bent over.
Langdon and Jackson were about right at the time, maybe 5% at most in Melbourne's favour.
Hogan was significant unders at time. Don't pretend otherwise because he didn't work out. He's easily a two first rounder type talent.
We'll negotiate in good faith like every club does 95% of time.
I don't think he was worth more than about pick 15 at the time tbh.That was a 4 team trade that saw Dogs also get Matt Kennedy and Bailey had just had a whole season off for his torn ACL haha
Go over to the Gold Coast board (if anyone posts on there) in 2017 and see if they thought the Weller trade was in our favour.
Go to the Melbourne board and I doubt they're gloating about winning any of the trades they did with us at the time.
When the Judd McVee trade is done I'm sure the Melbourne board will be disappointed with what they get. They'll be people on this board unhappy we gave more than pick 33/34. My view is even this board will look back in twelve months and say we got McVee for a bargain - unless we pay more than I expect of course.

We paid massive overs so Belly could put a feather in his cap. Lyon didn't even want Hogan.Yet he was playing pre season games that same off season...
We certainly didn't pay overs at the time.
And he's still Bailey Smith even if his knee did fully recover.I don't think he was worth more than about pick 15 at the time tbh.
Pick 17 and a few steak knives was reasonable enough imo.
Hey whoa there. I've spent years countering the myth on here that Bell didn't want Hogan and was overruled. It doesn't then follow RTB didn't want him. I'm pretty sure he did.We paid massive overs so Belly could put a feather in his cap. Lyon didn't even want Hogan.
I’ve seen a lot of revisionist history here before, but this one is gold.We paid massive overs so Belly could put a feather in his cap. Lyon didn't even want Hogan.
Have it on good authority from someone that knows Hogan well that Rossy was not a fan, at all.Hey whoa there. I've spent years countering the myth on here that Bell didn't want Hogan and was overruled. It doesn't then follow RTB didn't want him. I'm pretty sure he did.
Disagree with that, old Belly was ****-a-hoop with the Hogan/Lobb dual signing.I’ve seen a lot of revisionist history here before, but this one is gold.
Bell didn’t want hogan. The feathers was around keeping Neale.
He was overruled by Rosich, who was really running the show at the time. It’s part of why Ross and rosich both had to go together, they’d hitched themselves to the replumb.
Still believe that had he held firm on not wanting Hogan, he probably also holds Neale to his contract.
There see it only took one more post for the myth to resurface.I’ve seen a lot of revisionist history here before, but this one is gold.

we all laughed when Wallsy said he wants to trade in players who improve our list, like what club wouldn't? well I guess we know now....The Reidy trade works 2 fold
Upgrade our points and make carlton worse!
