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

 

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
