You guys do realise...

that Jesse Hogan is as good as yours? The man to take over from Pav couldn't have come along at a better time.

The deal will be Craig Moller and Freo's 1st pick to GWS for mini draft selection #2

This supports your claims, Personally i think it is a good idea as Freo's ruck stocks are strong.

[Boomz]

I'd hardly say Freo's ruck stocks are strong... They have Sandilands but with his injury problems is he really going to be around for more than 1 or maybe 2 seasons? Griffin is good but Clarke & Kepler aren't great back up so I'd have thought they would be keen to keep Moller especially considering the time they have put into him...

[valkorum]

If we were gonna do the deal it would be for Moller only - the 1st round pick will surely be off the table.

Watch of for Hugh Sandilands at 206cm could of been drafted last year but possibly this year

I think you mean Chad Sandilands.  Hugh Sandilands was on the Hawks rookie list about 4 or 5 years ago.  Chad Sandilands appears to be on the same learning curve as Aaron, great at getting hit outs but not getting any touches around the ground.  He is still playing colts for Perth in the WAFL

Yes apologises Chad i mean, I think he was training with Fremantle last season but they decided not to pursue him. I think he could be a good rookie prospect for Fremantle.

[valkorum]

He would have to be a long term rookie prospect.  He is only geting hitouts in colts at the moment.

TOTALS
10 games (injured at beginning of season)
12 kicks
20 handballs
178 hitouts
9 tackles
0 goals

I haven't seen any of his games this year so not sure if he is still hampered by injury or not.

[Noz]

His stats for last year weren't that impressive either

6 games
11 kicks
18 handballs
10 marks
4 tackles
113 hitouts
0 goals

I think they decided not to pursue Chad because they believed he wasn't ready for AFL, Its a smart tactic they are using it worked with Aaron Sandilands he wasn't drafted until he was 22. That is around the age most ruck man peak and wasting 3-4 years on the list is a waste of money and clogs up space.
They might go for a similar tactic with Chad both parties have said they are interested working with each other so why not let Chad roam around in the WAFL for a few years and come in to the AFL when he has/beginning to peak.

I agree valk i have seen 4-5 games of his, he gets lots of hitouts but they are not really to advantage as you say. Seems to strugle to run out a game to me, i think he needs to work on his tank abit too.
