You never know, Jesse might be so angry at Freo, that he signs an extension with us and we move on.

Need to get into Jesse's ear and say that as an extension of the MFC, that insult of an offer is Freo's view on both the MFC and Jesse. We want you, serious enough to put a long-term contract in front of you, with that offer Freo are simply not serious in bringing into their club.

    Unlike @DeeSpencer I don't think it's a tactically smart offer.  Unless, of course, Melbourne are fools and I don't think they are.

    It's never smart in a negotiation to make an offer that the vendor doesn't even need to consider.  Never make an offer that is so easily dismissed it doesn't warrant thought.  

    You may think it's clever, but it's not and it invariably weakens your position.

    Re your questions: I'm just guessing....:

    1.  Keen because we'd rather lose him now than in a year

    2.  We don't know they aren't enraptured. They may just be very odd negotiators.

    3. Maybe WCE are or would like to be but I understood they had nothing to trade now.

    Three good answers.

    1) yes....but we seem really rather keen...than just viably interested. Might just my take granted.

    2 ) without doubt...they have their own way of dealing. Maybe they're far cleverer than we credit. It is after all about outcomes.

    3) might well be the case. But don't seem the slightest interested. 

    And 4) though it makes sense to stay quiet ....the silence from the Hogan camp sets new standards !! lol

    I somehow feel ..now... A revision to pick 5 ( if/when eventually theirs ) and a second rounder WILL be the deal. 

    That might fly for all parties save 99% of Dland lol

    I thought originally a player would be involved. Maybe not now.

    Low ball offer, which is so low it’s laughable, and the Beams story being traced back to Fremantle. I wonder who was coming up with the stories to de-value Hogan’s worth.

    I saw a snippet of an interview with Bell where he said that keeping Neale would be a great feather in his cap as the new football manager. A feather in your cap?  It’s not about you, wee man.

    Fremantle are the biggest clown show of the trade period so far.

    it's a terrible tactical offer in my view

    dodoro had a reputation as a difficult negotiator, but this takes it to another level

    hopefully unlike gc17 we aren't absolute gumbies

    I doubt Jesse would be insulted by Freo making low offers.  I'm sure they'd be telling him it's just their opening gambit and we love you.  Of course they may find it is their final offer if MFC walk away.

    Listening to Steve Rosich on Trade Radio was quite puzzling, not to mention delusional. Reckons they want to keep Neale and won't accept pick 4. Currently they have picks 5 and 77? And been linked to Hogan, Lobb, Duncan, Conca......so they are going to have to give something up somewhere along the line this year.

    Good luck trying to get a fair deal from the clown Josh...

    Nothing much has changed since last Friday...delusional is a good word 'Febes'...

    Agreed. Freo have tried to approach this as though they had some sort of a position of power in this situation, which they do not. 

    The biggest risk of such an obviously inadequate offer is that we walk away from the table, and they need to offer overs to get us back

    time to walk away from the freo negotiations. leave them to chase us if they have something substantial and acceptable to the club. Talk to GCS about how we can facilitate getting May across to the dees without Freo's pick.

    If freo eventually come back with a decent offer we could spend that on an early draft pick. 

    Personally i am not a great hogan fan, he has enormous potential that he is just not harnessing, he gets lazy around contests and is not a noted chaser or tackler. Yet he has kicked a big bag of goals, so his upside is huge. May is a reasonably good backman i doubt he is going to get much better. so i see we are likely to be the looser out of any deal.

    No surprise to see us knock the offer back. Who wouldn't? 

    I doubt it's over, though. Still plenty of time for things to change. Freo will come back to the table with a much better offer before trade week is over.

    If there going to be a bunch of wankers and offer that then I’d rather they sit down with Jesse and work on extending his contract.

    Talk about trash your brand, Freo's  amateurish Hogan offer is bad enough, and if it's true that they were spreading of malicious rumours about Beams then their behaviour will harm them in inter-club dealings for many years to come.

    So Freo have now thrown 3 players into limbo:  Neale, Hogan, May. 

    I wonder how long May will wait before he makes his next move:  sign at GC or look elsewhere.  Practically, its tough for him to keep hanging on.  Eddie or Ned Guy probably picked up the phone to call him as soon as they saw the stupid Freo offer.

    Imagine what Hogan is thinking. Fremantle  really don't rate me.  If they did they would make a realistic offer.

    I wouldn't deal with those Freo ar%^&*# at all during this trade period. There offer is insulting. Don't going shoving extensions in Jessies face just give it to him what real cakeholes they are. Hopefully he will change his mind.

    Nah... this line of thinking is bollocks. There are still the sweet nothings in the ear of Hogan, who also understands that Freo are trying to position themselves for the future also.

    I dont think it is their final offer.... But Melbourne ought to walk away.....unless something realistic comes in the mail....and by that  realistic to whatever MFC considers so  ( really...not publicly )

    But is it better than Collingwood's plan A?  May was bound for the Pies just a few weeks ago.  Reckon they see their chance to sneak in the side door and get him.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
