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.

    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

    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.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
