Garbo 1,567 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Start worrying if he doesn't sign by start of next season. We have more players out of contract this year than in contract Nothing to worry about yet 1 Quote

You wonder if it'll start affecting his performance if he remains under so much scrutiny, to the point where the media are starting to question if an interstate family visit could be a visit to Fremantle FC. Maybe if they keep bringing it up he'll just re-sign to get the camel off his back? To be fair it is just ridiculous. It was on SEN (I know but it puts the kid to sleep) as driving home. They said something along the lines of big news coming out of the West and it also says hold onto your seats Melbourne fans... Gosage did say "those comments are a fair bit of mayo" on the story but then proceeded to pump it up. Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 He must have flown to Perth to personally discuss his contract. FM people over here are thick. 2 Quote

How many of them just take off during the middle of a regularly fixtured round for a visit? The answer is one. ...that you know of ...that the media pumps up. God, you post some nonsense from time to time. 1 Quote

I'm impressed that you know the comings and goings of each player from every club in the competition. Must take up plenty of your time. you just reckon you know everything don't you. So condescending. Go on then prove it to me that players just taking off in the middle of the week to fly across the country is commonplace behaviour. Obviously it isn't. They live their lives in a strict regiment of activity during the week and you're just a fool living in denial if you claim this is 'nothing' he'd be spotted at Ross Lyon's house trying on a guernsey and you'd say 'nothing mate, nothing' with your bloody hands over your ears and your eyes shut Quote
demoniac 1,337 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 He'll either stay or go. The important fact is that the #farceshambles days appear to be behind us. We have good people making good decisions both in our administration and our footy department. Trading next years first rounder to ensure we could get both Oliver and Weidemann is indicative of that. 3 Quote

So youve gone and proven my point. See the post above, it is nowhere near commonplace and you damn well know it Quote

Can you back that up? Of course you can't, because it's not true. As others have said, some of our own draftees and younger players have done this already during the season. It's nothing. Even Roos mentioned it in his press conference yesterday. I don't claim to know everything, I just don't go over the top about something that is nothing to worry about. Quote
daisycutter 30,014 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 any truth in the comment that there is a serious illness in the family? Quote
John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I believe as a rule of thumb, with the exception of Cloke, that these moving rumours that never seem to die down usually turn out to be true. FFS what interest does Hogan have to not kill it now? I don't think it is all about money like with Cloke. Edited May 11, 2016 by america de cali 1 Quote

Undeeterred 3,127 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Interesting though that he's in Perth on the same day that Roos gets in the press and tells everyone we won't be paying overs for him. 2 Quote

I forgot the level of pedantry that goes on around here and the inability to detect hyperbole I'll go with DA's huge quantity of 4 out of several hundred - and obviously it doesn't matter for the majority of others where there is no question of some go home factor. I mean seriously, comparing Oliver to Hogan? What he's a chance of returning to his town of population 1000 to play on the ball there is he? You know DAMN WELL there is a REASON it makes the news when Hogan does it because for most others it is not an issue, so stop playing dumb, as natural as it may come to you " Even Roos mentioned it " oh you should have said that in the first place, now I'm convinced. FMD. the problem is deep down you know what's going to happen and you're finding it very painful to deal with. Don't take it out on me Quote

Said that his contract is not about money but rather team success, J Browns comments are no more than a little love for his fellow key forwards and Ross Lyons missus cooks a wicked lamb roast. Also, Lachie Reid who interviewed is a passionate Dee's fan who I've had the pleasure of chatting to a couple of times at functions. Apparently Hogan was sitting in cattle class (a sure sign MFC know he's going) but Lachie pulled some strings (ch10 budget strings I'd say) and managed to get Hoges upgraded to Business class. Oh, almost forgot... He also donated some bone to Nat Fyfes leg injury. Edited May 11, 2016 by McQueen 3 Quote
