I'll take that with a grain of salt.

What if he plays this week and plays well?
Just seems so strange that this would become public now.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Going back and reading the start of this thread is quite interesting!

Guess work, dropped so wants to leave. Because we're in the headlines and it'll get someone to click. It's like everyone who is out of contract is linked to Collingwood in some way, you'd think they have 70 spots on their list. Hrovat contracted next season.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
This is the extract from the HUN by Jon Ralph on Hrovat. Make of it what you will.
WESTERN Bulldog Nathan Hrovat has parked contract talks, with the 22-year-old likely to find a new home with greater opportunities next year.
He has several offers with rival clubs, having endured a difficult year with injury then after being dropped last night after finally working his way into the senior side.
Hrovat was taken at pick 21 in the 2012 draft and has had his spot taken by Rising Star runner up Caleb Daniel, with the Dogs flushed with smart young midfielders.

That's nothing above. Of course he has offers, and probably one from us. He plays this week and then the story has even less cred.

Yep. Apparently had several offers last year too. He and we didn't split then either.

But wasn't he under contract last year?

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
I'm sticking to my guns on Jong, and want him to be traded while his currency is high as it is now. I still don't trust him with the footy when the chips are down and we're under pressure, his solid improvement across the board has probably meant this is his only major glaring weakness now, though it's one I struggle to get over.
If Hrovat wants to move elsewhere due to not being happy about the amount of game time he's receiving then he's ahead of himself given his injury issues. But as MJP says, if he plays next week then it's false reasoning on his behalf.........if it is actually on his behalf.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

He was, but he wasn't traded by his or our instigation is my only point. A player having offers doesn't in and of itself mean he's leaving. The Hun piece is supposition and little of substance, that's no surprise I guess.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
As much as he is growing on me and I still don't see him as in our best side, if we get an early second rounder I would be wrapped but would very disappointed for a straight swap with Cloke.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
