SO.... I am assuming its Hogan to Freo, May to Melb, Freo 1st to GC.
Freo would need to give Dees another pick for sure if this was to happen
or maybe Neale to Brisbane, Hogan to Freo and 4 to Melbourne.
Delusional if you think it's in Melbourne's best interests to trade Hogan for Steven May or one first round pick.
Now if they got both, then maybe it's worth having talks. But for now, it's a story that comes up every year, not buying it one bit.

Interesting - if we "have" to lose Neale then this works. I would prefer we keep Neale and lose our current 1st round pick.
I have seen this thrown up which is reasonable --- IF we lose Neale
Brisbane Get: Neale
Brisbane Lose: Pick 5 and Pick 22
Fremantle Get: Hogan and pick 22 from Brisbane
Fremantle Lose: Neale and 2019 1st
Melbourne Get: 2019 1st from Freo, 29 from GC & May
Melbourne Lose: Hogan
Gold Coast Get: Pick 5
Gold Coast Lose: May and Pick 29
Our first and future 2nd seems about right
But after the last few years of chasing Hogan... I'll believe it when I see it.
Another option being thrown up here for a trade deal
https://www.zerohanger.com/reports-three-way-trade-to-send-lachie-neale-to-brisbane-24066/
Brisbane IN: Neale
Brisbane OUT: Pick 4 (prob 5 after Lynch Combo)
Freo IN: Hogan
Freo OUT: Neale
Port IN: Pick 4
Port OUT: Polec, 9, 10
North IN: Polec
North OUT: Pick 10
Melb IN: 2 of these pick - 5, 9 & 10
Melb OUT: Hogan
Edit: fixed up North and Port deal (not a compo pick, its a trade)
I mean sure, except Polec isn't a free Agent.

Ahhh, I have read it wrong. Pick 10 is actually from North directly, not a compo pick.
The talk is getting louder and louder
Gossage on Channel 10 last night saying Hogan open to coming to Freo
