Still better than 50/50 that motlop is at the dogs next season IMO.
I hope not, even Carey got stuck into him on the footy show on Sunday talking about his lack of motivation and commitment in coming back to training at the start of the year well overweight and how he was just a lazy uninterested player in the last month or so of the Geelong season who needed to take a good look at himself

I heard an inside rumor that Hoskin-Elliott was very interested in a trade to the Dogs. Also attracting interest from Collingwood and another Victorian club. Would be an interesting pick up for hopefully not much.

Unfortunately there's not a whole lot of evidence to suggest hoskin elliott isnt a complete bust for a pick 4.

I wouldnt give up a first round pick for him.

How lucky are GWS that a stubborn bloke like SOS works at Carlton? Destined to repeat his mistakes while giving GWS a second chance on their busts. Wonder if WHE will be one of the next mistakes to be repeated??

Interesting athlete and could be worth a second in the hope of being a very late bloomer but teams would have rocks in their head to trade a first at this point. Especially lower teams with good selections.

Unfortunately with football you cant just be a long distance runner with good athletic attributes. You've got to have a brain for football and a bit of gamesense. WHE reminds me of another Cale Morton. At least geelong basically gave up nothing to get Blicavs in and have benefitted greatly.

With his injuries and potential he seems like their Hrovat.

Unfortunately for every hoskin elliot GWS pick there's another club serving them a Josh Kelly on a silver platter or more early selections coming back.

You can swing for the fences every time when striking out doesn't matter.

SOS is just the biggest, fattest and stupidest seagull. Add Marchbank to the Blooz list.

Add Jack Steele to StK, Will Hoskin-Elliott to Coll, Pat McKenna as
well as Marchbank to Carl, Cam McCarthy to Freo, and of course
Nick Haynes to the Dogs (I wish). Not to mention Lobb, Tomlinson
and Stewart, whoo that's a lot of moving.

SOS has got a lot wrong over the years - But he got one thing right and I'll be forever jealous.
