How do you know they didn’t do that on purpose?

It put MFC and its supporters offside making us even more fed up with the circus than we were.

Looked more a deliberate tactic to drive price down to me.

I think it got you fed up Rangey. Wouldn’t have made an ounce of difference at MFC. They knew he was going, at least they all saw he got there safely...

    Golly, if the MFC was so unprofessional as to be put offside by a stunt like that I'd be heading to the microwave with my membership card.  As for supporters being put offside - meh. Who gives a ....

    I don't agree with the supporters bit but it is certainly a possible stage by Freo.

    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?

    They then have a raft of picks, none of which would be enough to get the May deal done.  Their only hope is to get a high pick for Neale.  They baulk at this trade, and are saying they will not let him go.  They therefore cannot get the pick they know we would take to get it all done.  WTF??

    We seem to have a positive relationship with Jesse, and have no need to accept a low ball offer.  Freo look like they are trying to be the Arthur Daley of the trading world.  Want us to offload our 2 first rounder valued player for chump change.  WTF??

    Peter Bell-end and his team are confusing at best, deranged for certain.  Essentially lying to all sides and short dealing everyone they can.  If they had have taken a mature approach to all of this, they would have lost a midfielder (they have a few of those) and would get back a premium, marquee, 10 year power forward.

    I'm sorry, I just don't get it.  There is no value to anyone behaving like this.

    Spot on, and add to this:

    They pull out of the trade, then rumours circulate that Jesse is damaged goods. No S#!@ Sherlock, losing a parent at that age, especially when you have a close knit family, will "damage" a person. (Speaking from person experience) Also if Jesse is the different cat, introverted bloke that people say. Well I'm sure his going to feel right at home at Freo now!! Bunch of morons.

    There’s a reason we are not fighting tooth and nail to keep him. Quite the opposite in fact. The club is indeed fed up of the annual Jesse Hogan Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.

    Freo know this and are exploiting it to the hilt.

    You think they’d do that to a vulnerable guy like Hogan... really?! A guy they have supposedly coveted for years... they’d hang him out to dry like that... to “spook” MFC and it’s fans... pppffftttttt

    So you really believe JH being videoed in Freo would have any effect on the MFC recruitment team.  What a laugh.   Looks more like some supporters are too easily spooked.

    There is nothing to exploit. The deal is on the table

    If it doesn’t get done. We keep our forward

    AFL trade wrap today says talks are progressing between Freemantle and GWS for Lobb and suggested the following swaps could be on the cards.

    GWS give Lobb and Pick 14

    Freo give Pick 11 and Pick 23

    If that happens then I can see a trade happening for Hogan quickly with Melbourne receiving 5 and 14. We will possibly have to even out with some later pick swaps for Freo to be happy. Guess it's all dependent on Freo trading Neale and learning to not be a d!ck. So probably won't happen actually.

    There's no question that Wagon Wheels are the king of biscuits.

    But the fact that Oreos made it on to the list at all shows that the author has no idea about anything, least of all biscuits, and is likely a negotiator for Fremantle.

    I repeat. I do not believe it has anything to do with MFC fans. We have absolutely no control over this decision. If the club are going to do it, they're well enough run not to bow to fan pressure.

    As for Fremantle, given their behaviour across week 1 of the trade period, I'd absolutely believe they would 'do that to a vulnerable guy'.

    Exactly. If the club was hellbent on getting rid of a damaged player the MFC would have accepted pick 11

    it didn’t happen.

    So if they are amateurs and do pointless things, does that increase the likleyhood it would affect our team?  Of course not. Unless you think we are amateurs too.

    No, but if we were as desperate as a couple of posters here say we are, we would have snapped it up and thrown in some steak knives.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
