5 minutes prior to that ...

PB's wife: you knew I was looking forward to that car! You've embarrassed me. You go right back and apologise and buy it!!! Or no nookie for the next ...... forever!!!!!!

For a recently newlywed like Bell the ‘no nookie’ approach may have currency. However after several years of marriage it may become an empty threat.

I think so too. Still learning who is what here.

Won't happen again with that muppet.

If I am the ‘muppet’ then you have misread @Deestroy All’s diagnosis...

Posters can whisper sweet nothings in our ear straight from their [censored] but Land has a long memory and it isn’t kind to those who do so. #rpfcrememberstrolls

I have already done it and told him what I think. 

All Noise, posturing and fugazzi.

The deal will happen.

Are we all sure we have all the information?

I don't think so.

That's the only other thing I'm sure of.  We don't.

Here's the bit that gets me:

Freo (apparently) had told Jesse's management that they would do the deal, involving their pick 6.  They then proceed to trade that out so that deal cannot get done.  WTF?

 

This is the bit that gets me angry.

Sell the trade they have for multiple larger numbers and then say the deal is off. That is Primary School etiquette

From this post I can only assume you are unaware of this poster’s history. I will suggest that you treat the info he shares with some circumspection and leave it at that.

But hang on mate. Dangerfield is coming isn't he?

I'm feeling content - no lose situation.

Trade with Fremantle will happen at a reasonable price and we'll on trade for May.

Trade doesn't happen and an exciting experiment with Jesse at CHB in 2019.

The dogs may bark but the caravan rolls along.

... that tackler is a Nigerian prince whose father the king has been imprisoned by military plotters and his $100m fortune has been frozen by banks. And PB has been specially selected to gain 10% of that for a small favour ...

I just told him how amazing Jesse is and that he should just do the deal and leave the thinking to those better qualified for it.

Bell's comment about due diligence didn't refer to checking out the player.  I supposed  Bell was just  trying to use big 'business-speak' words instead of simply saying that they won't continue negotiating because MFC is asking far too much.    That seemed to fit the context in his press release and the point made by SFebes.   

Signs of a person who is not very confident in the decisions and actions that he might take or gets involved in, yet still insists on punching above his weight.

Projection level  -  Infinity

Spot on.

It's funny isn't it and a pretty good microcosm of the fetid, stagnant pool of rumour, half truths and calculated lies that passes for reporting and 'news'  this time of year.

I mean the opinion of a middle age bloke who had an affair with a teen, is called toot root by everyone because of his out of control drug habit, has been barred as a player agent and is in total disgrace gets oxygen. Crazy.

Maybe Jesse was not very impressed by what he saw at Freo

one wouldn't need to be einstein

i can't fathom why jesse would want to go to freo of all places even before this fiasco


Hogan may not like what he saw at Freo , however it would be easy money for him to make !!!! . Reminds me of the old days at Demonland , when we got smashed by 186 pts players laughed about it, one player got dropped. If that wasn't easy money for playing for a club , I don't know what is .

This article provides nothing. No direct quote or even a vague reference to an ‘unnamed source’. Just a hunch on the part of the journo. Yet based on this most of you are piling back on believing Jesse will be a Docker by Wednesday. 

I’m telling you right now. They’ve gone cold on him. Bell isn’t bluffing, they’re no longer interested.

We’re stuck with Hogan for 12 months and this will all happen again next year.

My interpretation was a more basic version of the same: dumb footballer trying to use corporate [censored] speak and mincing his words.

and why trade the pick that was already agreed upon ?  as from what been said a deal was done for 6 and a second round pick  in principal then freo  traded pick 6 !

And if you are wrong you will have Peter Bell as your avatar for a year.

Being stuck with Cale Morton was a lot worse. No doubt about it

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
