The Eagles have been taught by the masters by the looks of it,hehe.

Yep, they went to the Subiaco School of Creative Finance Management.

I think Kelly is a bridge too far for the Eagles. Poor bugger will probably end up at Freo.

How do the Dockers get Lobb,Hogan and Kelly???
Interesting trade period ahead I reckon.
The clubs they are at now aren’t going to give them away.

Guess we will see just how serious he is about coming home now. Appears Fremantle have what Geelong want.
My guess he will play in Purple.

Could be that way anchor. He wants West Coast for obvious reasons, but if he’s desperate, he’ll take anything. I reckon Ross co7ld turn him into a great full back.

I doubt he will be in purple.Dockers will have to move on lachie neale to get pick 4.Will have to use two high picks to get Hogan and lobb.They may play hardball with Brisbane but it could blow up in their face and they may be lucky to get lobb only.If Melbourne want a top ten pick I doubt the dockers will get one.More likely Melbourne will also play hardball.

Fremantle are chasing the lions first pick this year and next year, if that's on offer they will then forward it to Melbourne for Hogan, who would then forward it to the suns for May
Lobb arriving for Freos first pick of the 2019 draft and Freo can then offer pick 5 to the cats for Kelly and picks 49 and or 58 still allowing them the chance to pick up 2 or 3 youngsters
This would certainly change the look of the Dockers in 2019 and allow the coach to play a more attacking brand of footy

you are not a optimist you are a super optimist.So gold coast are not getting a pick till next year.I think you might get one or two but I don't think you will get all three.I would suspect that gold coast would want pick 5 this year.If you get two picks from Brisbane you may need to use both to get Hogan.Remember Hogan and lobb want to go to the dockers and Kelly doesn't.If you can only get two I think Kelly is a eagle or stays geelong.

Gold Coast would end up with Brisbane’s first pick this year and next year it would just get on traded until it ended up with Gold Coast.
So Fremantle would be giving up 2 first round picks for Hogan (Brisbane this year and next year)

If I was a betting man which I'm not...I'd say Hogan and Lobb will get done with Neale going to Brissy but Kelly will be at the Cattery next year.
