The only people making any suggestions that he's going back to Perth are.... from Perth.  Of course they'll take that narrative, it sells.

Still no doubt in my mind he'll stay.

Think you're right Wiseblood. The bigger narrative surely is being 'the main man' who lifts a mighty club out of the doldrums and back to greatness.

Yep, even more so when Freo are 0-7 and going absolutely nowhere.  They need a story and something to look forward to that can take some of the focus off how bad they are playing - and that man is Hogan.  He fits all the credentials and they'll ram it down their throats over in Perth as often as they can.  We just need to ignore that and allow things to play out.  Every man and his dog can see the positive direction the club is heading it, and that fact won't be lost on Jesse.  I've got faith.

Good luck being full forward when Lyon reverts back to the 6 goals wins philosophy.

Exactly.

There is a reason so many key forwards have knocked them back over the years - they aren't really an attractive club to play for.  If you take the Perth factor out, why would a key forward want to go there?  Cloke, Riewoldt and others have knocked back huge offers to get there.  It's hardly surprising. 

I know the Perth factor is different here, and I get that, but outside of that I can't see anything Freo has that we don't trump quite easily at the moment.

I wouldn't worry too much about Jesse heading over to Perth this week. I'm very proud of the way the club is handling him. 


He will stay but god I love all the drama. The footy media are in heaven, creaming themselves over nothing.  I bet Jesse is having a good old laugh about it too. I think he will extend his contract mid season.

Wasn't the Ox 98% sure about Scully?

Clark is a journalist, the Ox as much as I love him is more of a personality.

 

ok...for the unwashed  its like this

What is happening  wtfk ...so what do WE know?  nothing.. So as far as whats happening with contacts ?  NOTHING

so Nothing to see, ALL move along , all take a bex !!

Enjoy the next 18 months of him in red and blue coz he will be in either yellow and blue or purple

They'll throw money and the go home factor in and if wc are there abouts this year he ll jump


Can someone give me a list of players out of contract at the end of this season to panic about first?

I refuse to panic about this.  Jesse is an immense talent and will almost certainly be a star of the competition at some stage, but his loss would not break this team.  We have Weideman developing nicely.  He, Watts and Pedersen/Frost could still hold down the forward line comfortably.  Plus any trade for Hogan would involve more high picks coming int to the club with which to draft or trade for another key forward.  It could slow our development a bit, but we'd survive. 

That being said, I don't believe he's going anywhere.  So many of our players have said the same thing recently.  They've put in the work, they can see where the tem is going and they want to be there for the payoff.  He's in the same boat.  While living near his parents is probably a strong pull for him at his age, he's dedicated himself to a career as a professional AFL player.  He's spent years working towards that goal and he's far more likely to see success with us than Fremantle the way things are looking right now.

The thing about all of this that really annoys me is there doesn't appear to be a massive amount of focus on how bad they're going. It's almost as if this was expected at some point. Sure, it definitely was expected, but not until players like Pav and Sandi had pulled the pin. The Freo window was well and truly open, right up until the first bounce for 2016. The fact that the club and coach appear to be under no real pressure to perform, and are in fact resting club champions is astonishing. How was the Rev going the year he was sacked? It wasn't 0-7.

P.S. I'm working on a crossword at the moment and need some help. What's a 6 letter word that starts with "T" for a type of boat that carries liquid/gas, and can be seen loading/unloading at the Freo docks?

Which genius decided to make a second thread about the same thing. Can we merge these?

Funny you should mention that.  You'd almost think they were looking to get something at the end of the year they could offer up for a really good player.  Of course, it wouldn't be enough on it's own, they'd need to throw in a player too.  Don't they have a Victorian Mid floating around who's out of contract as well?  :P

I reckon it's pretty obvious, but because it's against the rules nobody is calling it. The fact the Freo board has not concerned itself tells me all I need to know.

I feel much more confident about keeping Hogan than I did about Scully/Frawley/Howe. The team is very obviously in a better place than it was when they were all out of contract (which Hogan isn't for another year), the team that is courting him is in the shitter, and HOW GOOD IS MELBOURNE'S COFFEE???

It's about the money. $cully didn't leave to go to a highly successful team either. If hogan is offered a buddy Franklin deal to go home to mummy why wouldn't he leave?

The bloke who went to GWS, got about 3 times the yearly salary we would have contemplated for him and a 6 year contract. That is nowhere near the difference it could be here, if money was the sole factor. Also at that time the whole club was crap. Now we are a far better club and team.That bloke seemed a bit aloof from his team mates, JH is one of the boys and has some great friends in the team.

There is also the little fact of an 8 hour return flight every second week for a bloke who has lost a year already with back issue.

As someone said above we also have great coffee.

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
