If the answer is I want to play for Fremantle, I have no idea what the questions is.

    Not sure if it’s been said but Freo haven’t shown up at Marvel stadium yet!  Bunch of tools.

    Apparently they've been locked in a meeting with GWS for hours re. Rory Lobb

    Hey Jesse we're in WA - no not the premiers

    We have an experienced coach - no has not won a premiership like the other guy

    Have some great players - well not as good as the other side

    Are in a premiership window - well not quite yet but within 50 years or so maybe

    Play exciting football - not really Ross is coach

    Lots of forward 50 entry's - OK not that many really

    Plenty of support from other KPF's - woops not us

    So what do you say Jesse are you coming to Fremantle? We can't pay what you want but purple would look good on you!

    Rock/hard place is exactly what this is.

    And that's a perfect definition of negotiation. Some people think it's defined as getting what you think something is worth, but that does not take into account the other party, and the fact that both parties will not come to the table with equal bargaining power. It might look like we have the upper hand with a gun, contracted player, but that's clearly not all that's in play here. If it was, we would have received our 2 first rounders last week.

    exactly RBMB.

    Why the Suns? Didn’t think they would be needed until later.

    WA Time... they are still sleeping for a couple of more hours. Don't wake them and make Belly cranky! No trades will get done then

    This deal can’t be last minute. If they stall till tonight I say we screw them. We want to get May and perhaps another runner. Can’t do all that with little time.

    Any conspiracy theorists out there think that Croc Media and AFL trade radio might be trying to delay a few things to make this evenings coverage actually interesting!

    I could see Matt Thompson trying to trip up someone in a corridor on Hutchy's orders!

    Imagine if all these big trades get done by 5 pm.... three hours *LIVE* at AFL house looking at a forlorn looking SImon Lethlean waving around wads of cash to an empty room.

    Bell has followed Mahoney into the toilet.

    I do not think we are being “shafted” in giving Hogan and in return receiving May, KK and Pick 23, however I still feel as though the deal is certainly unders.

     KK should not be part of the deal – Mahoney said earlier last week that we would have been able to facilitate a trade regardless of whether we trade Hogan or not, so IMO, he should be a separate deal entirely.

    Essentially, Freo are giving us Pick 5 and 23, which although “acceptable”, is not a fair compensation. It really should be Pick 5 and 11 or Pick 5 and next year’s first rounder. But given our desire for May and Hogan’s desire to go home, it seems we have lost the bargaining power in this trade and we just have to make the most out of what we will get.

    It is disappointing, but in all honesty, we cannot assess the fairness of a trade for another couple of years.

    Right now, if the deal turns out to be what is currently assumed, I won’t be in an uproar, but I definitely won’t be happy. Losing a player of Hogan’s calibre is never an easy pill to swallow, but unfortunately, we just have to accept it for what it is and trust in the department for now.

    I will say though, I have a new most hated team and that team is Freo.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
