Why would anyone want a player that would prefer to play for Freo. He obviously has more important things in his life than football and that is obvious. He is a sublime talent but his head is not on the footy field.

You've got some good footy views STMJ but you really are an awful person. 

Why awful? 

Posters are complaining and trade period is not even over. 

They have no idea what we'll end up with and they refuse to look at the picture at large.

If we don't win a flag in the next 5 years and Hogan takes Freo to one, that's when I'll admit that the trade was a fail or that we got 'unders' for Hogan.

Good that the deal has been done.

Despite his talent, it was always been what he could do for us.

He had some good games but overall his contribution was patchy at best, when we could get him on the paddock. 

He has not been the worth the coin he was being paid and certainly not worth more based on his performance.

Sick of the constant speculation around this guy. 

We are building a team where everyone has a role.

We were not building a team around one player.

 

 

The circus has finally left town.

The MELTDOWN has officially begun

I repeat....

The meltdown has officially begun

Please adorn appropriate safety Thick skins and woolly socks 

( Not really sure about the socks..but you just can't take chances ... All that molten angst lying around ;) )

So Freo this trade period
Gain - 14 and some later pics, Hogan, Lobb, Conca

Lose - pick 6 and Neale

They've smashed it. They've landed Hogan and Lobb AND still got a pick int he first round. We've been poor by comparison. Disappointing.

Except without Lachie Neale, how are Fremantle going to get the to their forwards? Fyfe will do a lot of the heavy lifting, but who else?

People are disappointed to see Hogan go.  Is there an issue with that?

You're dancing on their disappointment like a big bully.

These bunch of amateurs just got us to  a preliminary final. you seem clueless in negotiation skills.

Unfortunately l think it has just begun.

So T Mac goes down with an injury.  Who are our key forwards then? The Weid?  Yeah that will win a premiership!

For decades we have cried out for a power forward unit.....we get close and then we trade 'em.

Good one Dees!

No, they're disappointed about 'pick value' that we're getting back.

Nothing else.

Yes Jesse can do some spectacular things on the footy field. But I really think he is an individual driven player, this might change with maturity but I doubt it... 

He lacks defensive pressure it never seemed to fully buy into our team & city. 

Its no coincidence that our BEST wins of the last 4 or 5 years have been with no Jesse. 

we have netted a pick 3 in return where we will get a full back for 4-5 years, a potential outside runner (former pick 5) & pick 23 to bring in a very decent role player. 

Sure pick 19 would have been better, perhaps we have something planed already for 23 in an on trade?

Watch every other club in the league circle our midfield over the next 3 years.

"Melbourne give up their stars for peanuts. Let's give Clayton, Angus and Christian a call, surely we can get em for a second round each."

We'd better get on with winning next year's premiership so I can live with Jesse nabbing the Colemans in 2022-2025.

your full of joy and positivity

Freo have been absolutely desperate for a key forward .. we DID have leverage before we came out and admitted we're happy for him to go home and we need the deal to get done for May... Amateurish

If Hogan made it clear to all and sundry that he wanted to go home, then why not say we are happy for him to go home.  No one would believe us if we said we'd hang on to him grimly.

The pick value is good then fair

Nothing else.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

    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?
