Sadly the other reality is that we aren't in a strong position when only one year out from him being an RFA.

Yes he is contracted, but if freo are confident of getting him next season they wait a year and get him for nothing.  We get better value now, but we won't get two first rounders. 

 

Plus he has a nasty foot injury. We know how those go.

    Rick Ashley, Gold WB.

    Maybe post of the year!

    Agree! Been a very long time since I’ve been Rick Rolled! 

    A classic!

    Would Freo risk it?  A lot can happen in a season, plus being a restricted free agent means they might feel as though they need to offer more to ensure we don't match.  I don't think we would do that, but it might make Freo a little nervous.

    The likely scenario for me is that we get a first rounder and a player for him.  Is that good enough?  Time will tell.  Many were unhappy with the Melksham deal, as well as what we got for Watts, and look how they panned out.

    I can't seem to find the details anywhere... but what was Lever when he came to us? Contracted? For a year or two more?

    I don't see any player from Freo incoming. I'd like Ed Langdon, but again it doesn't seem likely. I think logic would prevail and we get two first rounders and one of those goes to the suns for May

    He was uncontracted from memory.

    Yes, it panned out that way, but we could have extracted more at the time if we played hardball

    No we didn’t.  Jack is not that good at AFL Level. 

    We did ? ok

    Bloody hell. So we have Jesse contracted for another season, which is a better position, and we're still not going to get two firsts?

    Would they do Picks 4 and 6, or would they balk at that as being too much?  I could see us getting the better of this years picks plus a first rounder from next year doing the trick, and with Neale potentially leaving, that pick may end up in the single digits as well.

    Freo fans are talking pick 5 and future first for Hogan which seems fair value.

    I would trade the future first for May with a swap of their 2nd and our third rounder this year.

    We don't know, but its likely that there have been a lot of work done already.

    It is possible and proabaly likely that the numbers have been done and it has been agreed that  Hogan is either going there this season, or he plays out his contract and he goes next year.

    Both clubs, Hogan and his manager will know.

    Who says we won't?  I don't believe for a second that we won't get two first rounders (maybe one this year then next year) or at least a first rounder and a player equivalent to a first round pick.  I don't think we need to get too worried about that stuff just yet. Can you really see the club not getting much for him?

    Depends what we ask for. If i'm melbourne im asking for 4 and 6 because he's contracted, will score 45+ (something Freo hasn't had since Pav) and 23.

    I have a sneaking suspicion the last time he signed, he agreed behind closed doors to extend two years until the new CBA was done, with a view to leave then to maximise his value.

    Can Cerra still be traded even though he just signed a new deal very recently?  I'm assuming he can.

    didnt they bring a rule to cover this, I am pretty sure they can as long as the player agrees

    Future first round would interest us if we are in for Kelly.

    We cannot on trade that future pick this season tho can we? My understand is that because we traded a future pick last trade period, we are excluded

    mate it's the AFL. You can do anything if you ask nicely. Geelong, Hawks and Swans have been abusing this loophole for years. source Fox Footy podcast. They continue to laugh at it.

    Interesting quote from the AFL article:

    It's understood Hogan had his exit interview with the Demons on Monday, when the possibility of a trade was not broached.

    What has changed since Monday?  If he wanted out, why wouldn't you discuss it then?

    Uncontracted.

    The other issue is that there is more competition for Lever's services in Melbourne than for Hogan's in WA.

    I think we will do ok out of it.

    People need to stop comparing other trades.  If Freo had pick 12 only, then they would offer that and next years  first rounder but you are not going to get pick 5 and another first rounder. 

    Shattered to lose him but he is not worth 2 picks under 5

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
