That's a horrible deal for Melbourne.
Hogan last year was going home according to 90% of journos but ended up staying, I won't believe anything until something official comes out.

Linda is an unusual name for a bloke - but I guess we do live in a gender diverse world these days.

Relax, as I said its a rumor and a lot would have to happen eg Hogan deciding he wants to go home before it even got rolling.

I think you are being overly kind. Sometimes I get what I consider to be good mail based on the source and it making sense, this one is no where near that quality, just joining a few dots, using some logic based on a whisper I heard and some comments re there being a lot of surprises this trade period.
Like the sound of this rumour. There'd be some other picks / players involved presumably.
Would Melbourne be interested in Taberner if they lost Hogan? He's shown some improvement recently. Balic is also looking for a team in Melbourne, plenty of potential if he get his body / head right.

As I said it would be the guts of the deal, there would be more to it if it got legs. Think of the alternative if he goes home at the end of this contract, and Freo are say, mid table. You would get a mid first round pick as compo and that would be it. I think we are going to have to get used to players being traded whilst in contract as clubs seek to get a bit more control over trades.
If he goes home at the end of this contract that will be the 2019 trade period, a hell of a lot can happen between now and then. We'd get more than a 'mid first rounder' anyway because he won't be a free agent.

Look a little one sided to me. Maybe we could throw in Oliver and get a pick upgrade back?
Balic will be a very handy AFL player
It's just hearsay but Hogan signed an extension believed to be less than 800k and Lever is being offered 900k? You do the math

Would explain why freo shat the bed towards the end of the year when mid season they were playing alright. Freo get wind of a potential trade and tank for a better first rounder. Seems like something Ross Lyon would do.
Depends, we might do a deal on Wilson with GWS with a player, and a draft pick

This s**t about Lever being some sort of 'cream on the cake' and completely unaccountable has to stop.
21 yo, 54 game defender doesn't dominate rebounding while playing on the best KF ala Scarlett, Rance etc. More breaking news at 11.

This one you might be throwing a bit of holy water over for the masses... but your info has always proved good.

He made AA at 21, that is impressive.

Yeah he will. RFA but Freo would have a mountain of cap space that they are banking at the moment. Outside of Waters, Fyfe and the Hills who commands decent coin? Mundy, Sandi and Johnston will all go in the next year or two so if it comes to an RFA deal, matching and forcing the trade may be difficult.

And who was the other in the AA team? Howe.
Even adjusted for age, nobody would give what adelaide want for lever for howe.
He is unaccountable. He is cream. Thats not to say he isn't valuable but it is to say he is what Melbourne dont need is we could get better KPP or mids.

Howe made the squad but was not selected, is also 5 years older and not as tall. I am hugely sold on Lever but his record to date is outstanding. Dustin Fletcher played most of his career as the loose.
