this is what happens when the CEO and a guy with the worlds worst case of little man syndrome are in charge of your list management. Freo finally had a gun key forward on the hook and they aren’t willing to pay close to his value. Why even bother wasting your time. 

 

Peter "Jive Turkey" Bell.  I stand by my previous comment.  Lets get creative to still bring in May.  I hope Hogan kicks 10 on them next year.

Freo not rating Hogan but watch them offer him a mountain of cash next year in order to lure him.

They might have already done it......

Freo giving up pick 6 for 11, 23 and 30 from Port looks completely pointless now. Complete amateurs.

No... to be fair, in of itself this is a good trade for Freo because they basically didn't have a lot of picks this year... 

The problem was them prioritising that and taking it off the table before the Hogan deal had been done.

Freo and Port could have undertaken this trade on Draft night... Live trading could have seen that take place at any point of time!

Play him down back next year.

Might not need May now.

Agree. We have seen CHF/CHB swap positions effectively like Neitz, Carey (temporarily), Hurley, TMac. 

It's worth giving it a go with Jesse.

He could also play as a high half forward flanker with his speed and endurance.  Let TMac and Weid play the more traditional positions.

I hope this is a blessing in disguise.

Can't really get creative with nothing to play with. I can't see us bundling up players and we don't have any picks to give. May will not be a Demon in 2019.

 

Scenes at Freo headquarters.

The President of the Fremantle Football Club: so how did the trade week go, Peter?

Peter Bell: great! We showed them east coast guys a thing or two.

PoFFC: and how did we go with the Hogan trade?

Peter Bell: Ha! Ha! We didn’t get him.

PoFFC: Didn’t get him? I thought we were after him?

PB: Oh we were, believe me!

PoFFC: So what happened?

PB: They come up against old “Nails” Bell!

PoFFC: I don’t understand. Didn’t they ask a fair price?

PB: Oh yes! Very fair. But they come up against a hardarse balls-out negotiator!

PoFFC: Hang on. You mean we could have got him?

PB: Yep!

PoFFC: But we didn’t get him?

PB: Nup!

PoFFC: How close were we?

PB: Close as, mate! All I had to do was stick out me hand and shake!

PoFFC: So let me get this clear. We wanted him.

PB: Hell yes!

PoFFC: They asked a fair price.

PB: Yep!

PoFFC: But we refused and now we don’t have him.

PB: Yep! A few of those east coast boys will be licking their wounds tonight!

Hope the club comes out very quickly with a statement to the effect - "our first preference was always to keep Jesse, he's a quality young man but he's been through so much in his life that if wanted to go back to be closer to family it was something we fully understood. That's why we entertained this in the first place, unfortunately while Freo through buckets of money at him they were unreasonable to deal with and we're keeping him and will be working on a long term deal". 


If we didn't have TMac & Weed what would we offer for Jesse? I would be very disappointed if we didn't offer 2 first rounders. Which we did in the first place. 

As for extended contract offer to Jesse, front load it to $2m for 2020 on a $4m 4 year deal minimum.

Lets now hope Jesse wakes up to himself and puts pen to paper with us.  Any inflated ego from being the subject of much discussion has burst big time. Time to settle down and play football with the team that has looked after you through your darkest hours young fella.

Take your footy and go home, there’s always tomorrow, but nobody will want to play.

 


Well he aint gonna go to Freo after them stuffing him around like this.

 

I hope he resigns for another years and kicks 50+ next year.

what are they saying?

 

Barrett called Rosich and Bell novices and out of their depth. Operating in positions they are not familiar with and wasting everyones time (AFL community).

Bit of dotting and crossing to be done now if clean table is the go........

Hilarious on trade radio listening to Dockers fans calling in talking up Cox, Taberner and Lobb as a legit forward line with any hope of success. 

Delusional!

Honestly shocked at what Bell and Rosich have done here, even for a couple of amateurs. Had a 500+ goal career CHF/FF staring at them in the face and they’ve shat themselves at even paying a halfway decent price for him. 

Unbelievable. Gross negligence in running a footy club.

a sample of the responses on Dockerland:

"Great call Belly!

You have in one fell swoop killed off Melbourne’s hopes of getting May from GC and called them out for asking overs for an injury-prone (and currently injured) WA player.

If Melbourne are fair dinkum in wanting May watch for their back-sliding and offers of ‘concilliation’ over the weekend to get this trade back on the rails.

Now just sew up the Lobb and Langdon deals with the second and third rounders we got as part of the pick 6 swap. "

Mahoney has stated earlier today that if we don't get currency for Hogan we can't trade for May.

Don’t rate the guy but good call from Purple.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of Freo's motivation. Cutting their nose to spite their face in order to "teach us a lesson".

  • 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?
