We'll get to 800 over 8 years if Jesse wins a few Colemans 

For Freo, with Ross Lyon coaching....not much chance.

I do just want to say that unlike nearly all players that leave Melbourne I will have a large soft spot for Hogan.

I think he's definitely wired differently to some, who wouldn't be so concerned being away from family and friends. but he's a hugely talented and smart footballer.

I wish him well.

That pick swap...something afoot you reckon? Got a feeling we're not done.

its a curiosity isnt it..as I wondered in another thread...we have days to complete pick swaps...but only until 8.30 tonight to do another deal for a player. 

The trade feels a bit underwhelming but we probably couldn't do much more seeing as Jesse was determined to return to Perth....might as well move on at least we have 2 players who should strengthen the best 22 for 2019

What if the kid we draft at 23 is another Oliver.

How would the deal look then?

According to Josh Mahoney:

Jesse wanted to go home and his preference was Fremantle. Leave on good terms. If Melbourne played in Perth he'd be playing for us.

I have already had my meltdown and cannot work out what is going on in Hogans head. I still think this "I am homesick" twist for the playing life of an AFL footballer is ridiculous.

 

And as you ridiculous as it may seem to you, this has always existed for some footballers. It may be ridiculous but there is a big enough body of evidence to tell you that it well and truly exists.

Forward line without Jesse according to Mahoney:

We were able to kick 100+ points without him.

"Wanted to leave" is different to wanted to go home, or am I reading too much into this?

Not to wish injury, but wouldn't feel bad if his foot's [censored].

Not a bad outcome; although only time will tell.

Glad it's all over. Time to kick back with a glass of whisky and some cheese and biscuits.

What sort?

I think you’re reading too much into it.

I'm disappointed because I think Jesse has talent. Thanks Jesse. I hope you don't play well against us though! 

Anything else said re our activity?

Are we done, or still got something cooking

What dippy is saying is that pick 65 is the deal we got for Kent. We then on traded that in the hogan deal.

Thanks, but I know that and posted it earlier.

What I was saying is that you look at all the deals to see how we went, not just one.
