Huge news.

I'll admit it, I was worried when contract talks were 'put off' until the end of the year, and was even more worried when his manager came out and said what he said a few weeks back. After the long drawn out inevitably of Scully, Frawley and Howe leaving us, it felt like Hoges would be next.

There's hope for us yet.

BTW didn't Barrett say YESTERDAY that a deal was still miles off? Well done, [censored].

Today just keeps getting better, after Hogan and Lobb, an article states that Dion Prestia turned down an offer from the Hawks.

Even though he's obviously going to Richmond and not us, it makes me so happy to see Hawthorn rejected. Hope they manage to mess up the O'Meara deal.

This news has made my day! I can sleep better at night knowing he is satisfied with the Demons, even though he had some poor shots at goal this year, I am sure next year he will improve out of sight to become one of the premier forwards of the competition. ^_^

Now its just getting Hibberd to the Dees without much trouble, Essendon do play hard ball, but its worth it ! it will be interesting what they ask for him...

Yes, even if we got an early first round pick, what's the value in that if you can not retain them once they actually become dominant players, rather than just players with high potential.  Incubating players for other clubs like we did with Scott Thompson and $cully is a no returns game.

I just hope we can lock in the gun group of young mids we have coming through like Pratracca, Brayshaw, Oliver, Hunt and Co when it comes time.

$cully was a pretty good return for us...........

Wow just had the realisation we have signed up ALL our key players.

Great stuff, we are a footy club again and the players believe in each other and the direction we are heading.

We're a domestication club!

Right now the next important move is to get him a personal kicking coach / mentor and get rid of that stttutttterrring run up.

Yup absolutely! he just needs to simplify it, treat it like a field kick and he'll be fine, Jesse is a beautiful kick of the ball, but he's got a horrid run up with his  stutters and jumping jacks and what not

A glowing endorsement of the inspirational qualities of Lyon.   

So if we are becoming a destination club, are Freo becoming a detestation club?

Great news indeed. Jesse has a belief and so do I that our young stars in the making will deliver the goods. All my Perth mates have been telling me for months that Hogan was a dead cert to be a player for either Eagles or Freo. Can't wait to see them at the North Beach tennis Club this arvo. All we need now is for Wattsy to re-sign. Come on Jack we need you.

You must be in heaven - as far as you are concerned we have signed Hogan and Watts on the same day !

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
