[Rob]

Pinch of salt ....but to the Dees fans saying watch Bell come crawling back Monday ...enjoy picks 36 46 54 62 65 91 109 127 & 145 & structuring your team with 2 rucks & 3 tall forwards.

Seriously they have tried to play us and failed miserably.

 

[silverscope]

If he wants $8mil and we can afford it, front load the **** out of that contract!

The amount per year doesn't bother me as much as the length.

8 years is Buddy territory and Hogan aint near Buddy level of ability or injury 'luck'

 

[FreoGirl]

8 years? **** that. If he gets injured we're screwed.

at least he's willing to commit lol

 

[basashi]

Hogan wants 8 million for 8 years. He does want to end his career at Freo, if we trade for him

absurd

 

[freo1997]

Yeah I was pro hogan, but yeah screw that. Walk away gents.

 

[basashi]

a guy who has already had a full season back injury, cancer and the ongoing navicular issue.

without arguing about trade picks, of course any long contract is unthinkable.

a long contract for him could end up as one of those quiz night questions.

 

[Steinfreo]

Yeah nah, glad we got to the bottom of that. Mate if you wanna play for Freo dont try and bend us over a barrel first.

 

[Righteo]

s**t, is it possible that Bell and Rosich actually know what they’re doing?

And look how the Buddy contract has worked for the swans - 0 flags since he joined them, and they've lost high quality players like Mitchell (brownlow medallist) and Nankervis (premiership ruckman) because of the salary cap pressure. No thanks

We gave Lynch 7 years and he is older, Hogan is real young 8 years doesn't sound that bizzare when you think of it. also both coming off injuries too, contracts like this are going to be the norm for any star players leaving clubs.

 

[noise36]

Surely they can put stuff in a contract so that the risk of long term injury or off field issues is somewhat removed or reduced?

A player that can kick 60+ goals a season can be the difference between a flag or not while you are in the window for one.

I would still like Hogan if the numbers make sense.

 

[Clems Knee]

Is the 8 year 8 million deal real?

 

[Randomizor]

Eh do it. Hogan is a proven quantity. Off-field issues may improve with the support of his family over here (frankly given his recent torrid luck I don’t blame him too much if he has some stuff going on).

Just like it worked for some of our other recruits

Who’s to say the kids we take with our draft picks instead are gonna work out? Until maybe last year our first round picks have been busts.

 

[Rion]

I'd do the 8 years at 8. Make sure to put a few clauses in there to cover us if his foot really is stuffed though of course.

 

[awaremind]

Nope.8 for six

 

[awaremind]

Exactly, how much have we wasted on similar deals or tactics, Bennel, McCarthy, Sylvia, Simpson, Gumbleton and many more further back. I hope we’ve learnt. Certainly don’t pay overs or waste high draft picks on high risk players.

 

[Rob]

I doubt he wants those clauses. What's the point of an 8 year deal if it doesn't cover you in the case that you can't play due to injury?

 

[Freo Shark]

Dont know if you can include injury (navilcular) and behavioural clauses in contracts? Tayl0r

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

900k for 5 years is about where It would have to be. Im sure thats what Bell and Rosich will be pushing for tomorrow if Hogan seriously wants to come back to WA

 

[Fat Nyfe]

How bout we sit on it for a year, see how his injury heals up and how he goes next season. Pick him up in a cheaper trade then when he's uncontracted. I'd do $8mill for 8 years then for a fit Hogan with no lingering issues, absolutely.

But if Melbourne want to admit they ****ed up and buckle for us at the eleventh hour this year, so be it.

 

[LeftFootBanana]

8 years? Tell 'em they're dreaming.

Given Melbourne's exorbitant demands, the questions over recovery form his foot injury and now he and his management trying this on - thanks but no thanks.

They're taking the p155.

 

[Unique Name]

Happy to pay a million a year. Just not 8 yrs part.
