So goodbye to all our depth.

Out: Hogan, Kent, Tyson, Vandenberg, Pedersen, Vince, Bugg

I'm worried

Some people worry over spilt milk.

    One thing's for sure, I'm sick of this being a media story every single off season.

    I can't think of another player so consistently linked with moving back interstate.

    It was a constant in WA with Pavlich returning to South Australia pretty much every year for his first 10 years at Freo

    Craig Smoker was ok in his debut year, but then went off to Carlton as I recall.  Maybe wanted to be with John Elliott.

     

    Carlton? No

    After Melbourne he played for Williamstown before returning to WA. He then played for a WAFL team I think.

    I think the bar was lifted with Hogan. There was precious little relief from the clowns masquerading as journos badgering him about his contract and intentions, two effing years before a signature was required.

    Both 1 and 2 were shouted down about a month or 6 wks ago. Some children demanding the thread be closed, others claiming trade scenarios were a waste of time as he was 'settled'. The usual suspects telling us what we are allowed to think. There was some good discussion on what his value might be both on our list and as a trade.

    Who cares? You don't like someone's posts just block them. I do. Better than having 20 pages of dick measuring.

    Hogan shouldn't have signed his latest contract if he knew he was going. That was the time to leave. He said it himself. These vague reasons that have been put out about why he's going back are exactly that - vague. Doesn't seem like he has great cause to and he is going to break a lot of Melbourne hearts if he goes. 

    I'm not a fan of Vvandenberg leaving either. But Jesse is a whole other thing.

    Would it be fair if Team consideration indicated to the powers that be that the situation could be solved by compelling Hogan to sign a reasonable contract over a five year period that would get the pesky press off his back and the whole Club could get on with winning a Flag

    Your entire opinion is based around the assumption that Jesse is the one that drove this.

    I'm more open to the possibility that a few parties were/are involved. Freo with a tempting offer. Melbourne realising it could improve its list by trading him. Jesse taking that all in and deciding he'd be open to moving. He thinks on it some more and he realises that he'd prefer to go.

    I wouldn't begrudge him in that situation. 

    So without knowing the full details...

    I don't give a F what fremantle have offered, if Jesse's a Melbourne man, he wouldn't be tempted.

    However, if we have decided to get rid of him to make way for May or whatever else, then obviously no fault to Hogan. I just doubt this the case though otherwise Goody and Angus wouldn't have been laughing off Hogan leaving a few weeks ago

    Had an awesome first half of the year, was absolutely elite in many categories. I'm sure he would be the first to admit his second half of the year was disappointing and bear in mind he missed the last 5 games.

    I can see freo fans using this to argue unders on Jesse, like the dolts last year who thought it justified us paying unders for (or not recruiting) Lever

    If freo trade neele for brisbane brisbanes first pick, they should give us that one and their first pick. The club should say take it or leave it... play hardball... or shop him elsewhere.

    Well who needs a key tall forward, Hawks, Saints, Freo, WC could do some arranging, Pies, GCSuns definately,,, there would be no shortage of suitors for JesseH.

    Because they already have Darling and Kennedy.

     

    Not to mention they wont have the trade currency or cap space.

    Darling ;looks to me a bit of a worry for WC.  He looks a bit suss to me.

    I wouldn't mind betting that the Eagles would love to have Jesse in his place.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
