Good to see Fremantle's MK-Ultra operative Basil Zempilas has been activated by Peter Bell.

What? He'll kick 55 goals, miss 5 games through injury and be in the top 5 for assists league wide, business as usual.

Granted, provided he commits with signature.....

So what actually just happened?

Someone pressed a wrong button?

Zempilas and Bell are colluding?

Or....let’s play a joke on Demonland, those folks won’t sleep tonight if we run this.

No one really knows....I've seen nothing on Twitter other than people being very confused with what Basil said. Something does seem fishy, you'd think if he failed the medical it'd be impossible to keep it out of the media and Basil would have said something, wouldn't you? Claiming that Freo have "missed out" on Hogan makes it look like he's decided to stay at the Dee's himself...FWIW I reckon he's still Freo bound..

Can anyone provide footage of this news grab? Is this a non-event false alarm?

Source is unlikely to be Jesse or MFC so pressume Freo have said they've missed out

Likely a reaction to high asking price, concerns around foot/other

I never believed he was leaving.   Now of course, he still might, but this whole thing has just been weird since it started.

Jesse seems like the kind of bloke who'd go tour Freos facilities just to kill a few hours while visiting his home town.  Hes a unique fella.

Unless someone filmed it you might be up [censored] creek. Apparently 7Perth have removed the story from all forms of their social media and online outlets. 

Has anyone ever won trade week by retaining a player?

West Coast are probably pretty chuffed...

This thread has been like dropping into Tilted Towers amidst a firestorm with only a axe to defend yourself - Dying within 5 seconds - Then respawning only to find yourself in the same scenario ---- Over 220 times ?

Something doesn’t seem right here. Surely if this was true the Melbourne based media would be running with this by now. Doesn’t add up.

Basil and Bell know each other well from their time working at the same radio station 6PR. Plenty more to play out me thinks

If this is his perspective on vertical wooden structures it could explain some of his missed shots on goal ....

or .....

he is experimenting with substances on his break?

If Jesse stays it doesn't leave mushroom in our salary cap for May ?

SEN played the audio of the 6 seconds of report from Baz numerous times,  which was something like " Fremantle has missed out on star forward Jesse Hogan who is set to remain a Demon" - assume it'll be replayed a bit tomorrow morning on Trade Radio

7 News prepared a graphic as per this screenshot of Perth Now story

 If this news is correct, it gels with what I heard. It was Jesse that was not 100%sold on Freo. Game plan, coaching and the immediate future of playing once again for a bottom quarter club.

 

arrgh... I smell an internal rat.    Freo water rat.

What IF, Bell and some others inside, have decided to wait and hold,,, hold Neale, with a view to relieve Lyon of his job, some time in the next 12 months.

And a change of coach, with change of game style... this enables Neale and the likes of Hogan to thrive.

There seems to have been a change of heart, Re Neale, and now maybe Hogan, mid Trade-Period stream... just over the last few days?

How long has Bell been there, in his job ?

SEN played the audio of Basil’s news clip several times. The host on SEN is still perplexed as they cannot get it confirmed from any other source (let alone Basil or Ch 7).

Looks like they have edited the video and taken the part out about Hogan

Here is SEN host’s (Jack Heverin) tweet:

 

 

 

You would think to run such a big AFL story the producers in Seven Perth would ask for double confirmation and offer up more than just a 6 second clip with zero additional info. 

Tim Gossage none the wiser... adds to intrigue
