We may have just fed Barrett the 5 & 23 thing just to make Bell look even more stupid. 

Uppercut and a right hook on the way out the door.

I definitely got the impression that Barrett was told directly from someone at Melbourne!

Goes both ways, Hogan now knows how highly we rate him

So just for a moment let's suppose Freo aren't the idiot incarnate.

They didn't even rate Hogan at a 1st and 2nd pick.

I must confess I agree..but am very surprised after all their courting they did a runner.

Makes me wonder why ?

Edit... that's exactly where I have Jesse..a first and second rounder

Not convinced, just making him stay. 

Maybe they are trying to be the Magpies of the West. Support us or hate us. They have certainly moved up the ladder on my list. 

Hope they stay anchored to the bottom of the AFL one. 

I’m reading they have withdrawn from chasing Hogan now?  So that really makes this 289 pages of cheese.

It makes both parties look stupid imo. Funny how no one has mentioned that despite the whole forum being against 5+23 an hour ago.

I don’t really care what happens in this trade period now except for a burning desire for Neale to leave Fremantle so that those numnuts have an even weaker midfield to go with their D grade forward line.

Threaten to sit out 2019 Lachie!

Disrespectful to Jesse, that was their chance he's a demon for life.

Then too P&@@ freo off, come to the dee's, would love it!


I would say that we would have had 5+23 lined up to go to the crows for 8 + 14 thus getting our two first round picks. 

 

Freo are cooked.

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!

About time we stood strong.  For Lever we blinked before we sighted the other car, and paid overs.  Graeme Wright and Clarko lead the industry by a country mile.

 

 

We need West Coast in a bidding war in 12-24 months anyway.

Roos sees Hogan as a CHB possibility to allow Weed and McDonald stay forward in the same team.  Might happen in 2019....who knows.

Honestly I think if they have turned down 5+23 then I want to thanks them. I would’ve been extremely pizzed off if we’d accepted that. Only way that gets done IMO is if they throw in their future second rounder as steak knives. 

@hogan ..do not ask for whom the Bell tolls.....

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.

As a Perth Based Demon, I do feel the need to make a few comments. 

Admittedly I do go to Eagles Games (Wife is a supporter, but loves the Dees too). I have many friends who support either the Dockers or WCE. What has become apparent is the Docker supporters are done. They do not match WCE in an area and many who jumped on the train to Freo in 1995, are now jumping off it.

  • On field they are a rabble
  • Off field they are not looking to flash
  • their trades over the past years have been questionable
  • their members have been told to pay more for their seats (a lot more as they stuffed up the cats at Optus
  • Members are not renewing memberships
  • The coach is hated
  • The players from what I understand are not big on Fyfe (rumour)

Unfortunately they had a chance to secure the one thing that has been missing for a long time at Freo. It goes to show that Freo lack any smarts. They drafted down, and didn't get what they wanted. Lobb is a good player but had they got Hogan aswell!

I personally am glad they never got him and for Jesse sake hope he has a stellar year next year as a Coleman Medalist and Premiership player. 

Good luck to Freo and I hope the Dee's play them at the G or Optus next year so i can attend and enjoy Hogan kicking 7 goals against them and listening to their supporters moan and groan, all 12 of them!

Well, now that the Hogan trade is off the table, can we all get back to discussing biscuits?

Stuff them....we are in this


No one will line up to deal with them....move over Dodoro

 

I would be absolutely livid if I was Hogan. 

Who the [censored] chases you over and over for 4 straight years, he finally sticks his neck out and takes a leap to join their club and they wont even pay 5 & 23? GAGF freo... you enjoy being [censored] forever

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
