Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. 2 Quote
BrisbaneDemon 1,575 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. 1 1 Quote

Ouch! 2,276 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Just now, Demon Spofforth said: 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! 1 Quote

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.

Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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! 2 1 9 Quote
Red and Blue realist 2,063 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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". 2 Quote
ManDee 7,395 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. Quote
ProperDee 1,698 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. 5 Quote

Matsuo Basho 1,053 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) 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.

Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 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. " 6 Quote
