Hahahaha freo.

Entertaining.

Wonder how Jesse feels now. Freo aren't even keen on him 

Well they certainly don’t rate him highly. 

Ig will really encourage all teams to stay well clear from ever negotiating with Freo ..... that combined with Lyon’s pathetic negative coaching will see them in the doldrums for years.

Looks like Freo think Rory Lobb from GWS is the magical answer to their forward line I guess? ?

 

Personally, I'm glad Jesse Hogan will be staying as Freo don't want him.

 

I hope Jesse Hogan  knows that we all want him to stay and win a Premiership with the Demons.

Fremantle supporters are delusional, they think they’ll get him for nothing next season. Not a FA until end of 2020 which is perfect timing for the Eagles to enter the race. 

Wait, he's not a free agent next year?

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

Hahaha gold. So they lost pick 6 and Hogan.

Geniuses. 

Get ready for backline duties Hogan.

We all know you're not interested in staying at this club, so while you're forced to be here, do us a favour, serve a purpose, get us a flag, then go to West Coast. 

Also, they (Freo) have failed to grasp the concept that attracting good players to your football club has a snowball effect. Other good players will follow.

No wonder they are bottom four material. Nat Fyfe and other senior players must be watching this used car salesman buffoonery from Peter Bell feeling absolutely filthy. 

That is NOT how you rise up the ladder.

Well....I didn't see that coming !!

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".

I think they think we want May so badly that we will cave and accept unders. I would be shocked if it happened. What we asked in my opinion was fair and freo have just shown the whole industry, they demand overs for their own players and lowball the players they want to bring in, even if they’ve offered the same players a boat load of cash. 

I’d be shocked if Jesse wasn’t amazingly disappointed by this and I can’t imagine any way he considers a move to the dockers in the future now. 

I will laugh my ass off if we somehow manage to get May anyway 

This decision by Freo will put them at the back of the queue when they attempt to lure any quality player in the future. Their strategy for years now has been to bring home grown talent back to WA and this farcical outcome has severely damaged that strategy.

I'm pleased we still have Jesse but concerned we appear to miss out on May.

Freo ... way to go !! 

Complete amateurs

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". 

I hope so as well. Hope Jesse is alright? At the end of the day he is still only a kid and has been through hell the last couple of years. And he must of thought he was going home and now this has happened. So i hope we get behind him?

288 pages later, nothing happened.  Could have been written by Samuel Beckett. Who would want to go to Freo and sing that song anyway? Happy to have him stay.

 

Trade radio are saying: Melbourne did not ask for 2 first round draft picks. They were willing to take 5 and 23.

Purple just said Melbourne would have accepted 5 & 23, Freo refused

Dees wanted pick 5 and 23 wow freo are idiots 

We told Fremantle we would have accepted 5 & 23 and they wouldn’t do it!!!! Amazing.... 

Purple : "Melbourne never asked for 2 first round picks, would have been happy with 5 and 23"

 

 

Grear news for us.

Simon Goodwin will put an arm around Jesse and welcome him back with open arms 

Josh Mahoney should be applauded for standing his ground and being a professional operator compared to those amateurs.

Nowhelp us win a flag jesse!

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.

Exactly. Player managers like their players to get to the clubs they want to go to. Watch WCE get Kelly in with a minimum of fuss

From the sounds of it, we've treated him very well throughout and I'm sure that'll only increase from hear. He's overseas at the moment, so I'm hoping there's either teammates with him or we're on the phone everyday.

Give me a break.

He knew what he was doing. Requesting a trade or putting yourself out there, is always a risk. 

He wants to go home and he wants the buckets of money Freo are offering him. It hasn't worked out. Next time, pick a better club Jesse.

Just conceding defeat

Lose Neale and bring in Hogan and Lobb whilst retaining some handy picks, quite possibly pick 11. 

I shouldn’t care so much but the situation is just so ridiculous.
