Tom Browne had reported earlier today that Freo weren't that keen any more... Perhaps they pulled out, or going very hard as a negotiating tactic to see how desperately Melb want to push him out

Or maybe they are scared off by his navicular injury?    Its a real problem, though apparently it was caught early.

    We may have to wait until next year to get May under free agency, in the absence of trading a seriously good player at this stage it can’t be done.

    If it’s true this is fantastic news for our club. Teams build and grow and the  shine of early picks are great but I’d take s fit Jess Hogan over an 18 year old for where we are right now.

    No doubt that's the underlying reason, along with Melbournes asking price and any other baggage he's perceived to be carrying

    I find this whole situation quite intriguing.

    It started with unfounded rumours (e.g. Greg Denham), then progressed to the club itself failing to hose down the speculation, to everyone believing it was going to happen, to now there being question marks and even a "report" from Perth that he's staying.

    I suppose all it says is that no one actually knew anything and we're all still none the wiser.

    Oh, and Greg Denham remains a fool.

    Freo have baulked i would put cash ? on it....

    There are lots of subplots that we will never know. The pressure will be on for him to re-sign and fully commit to the club.

    But how will we get to 300 now!

     

    Sydney....

    A bit like Buddy it was always Sydney not GWS.

    Freo are the new GWS, Hogan is bound for Sydney.

    ...there you go 'sue', that should get the 300 easily.

    Well I hope he is signing an extension if he is staying cause I don’t want to go through this crap all next year. The end of the season speculation is enough.

    Listening to SEN & they have put the question out to all journalists across the country to confirm the story about hogan .. & so far no one knows anything. They can’t even reach Basil Zemplaris who originally reported the story.. Something is seriously fishy about this...

    Maybe he met Ross Lyon on his tour and thinks, well gee, its a lot of money but...

    I think basically Freo can't afford him without losing Neale.

    If freo have pulled out I doubt hogan will go home anytime now, he may resign till he is free agent then chase $$$ anywhere

    I can't believe I'm analysing a 5 second grab but the words "missed out" suggest the decision was Hogan's. The Perth media would have put a different slant on it (even in 5 seconds) if they'd cooled on the deal.

    What good would an extension be? He is under contract now and it clearly didn’t make the trade speculation go away!

    Even if the argument is there would be an extension would mean less chance of noise through the year, given this turn of events, I suspect there will forever be noise with Hogan until such time he does return to WA.

    Jump on SEN 1116 now. 

    Cheers.

    The Jesse news reached the UAE quickly, the Aussies have lost 7 wickets since that 5 second snipet broke. 

    SEN frantically putting calls out to Perth Media and getting no responses as yet.

    I hope this is correct and staying. You don't want to lose a player like Hogan unless there is something wrong and we might not know that until early in the next season. We do not need to bend over for a player like May. He is not that good.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
