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.

he's been gone for days, but it's common knowledge in the playing group now. nothing less than two picks (one for May). also St Kilda offered Kent THREE TIMES $$ and years what we did. idiots.

There is a miss conception by some on Demonland.  The preferred position by our FD is and has always been for JH to stay. Let me make this point with absolute and clear authority. I have been told dir

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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".

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
