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!

Bell and Ross The Boss are going to set Fremantle back a long way.

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".

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
