I can see freo fans using this to argue unders on Jesse, like the dolts last year who thought it justified us paying unders for (or not recruiting) Lever

Good luck to them on that! We set the price, they come to the party or we tell them to bugger off.

Do we tell Gaff to bugger off as Jesse's cap space is unavailable for 1 more year too?

He was 1 vote behind Lewis in 11th, after missing the last few games.

Churlish.

He finished 6th in votes per game out of players with more than 10 games.

In the Sun to day they have done a comparison with the leading key forwards and Jesse leads all but one stat.

We are talking about a 23 year old future champion of the game and to ask for less than the absolute maximum in return is a joke.

I trust the FD to get a good deal, but to those on here or in the media to suggest he is not absolute top trade price is another joke.

I have warmed to May and KK would be handy for us, so lets see how we go next week.

Mahoney and Co have shown themselves capable of getting deals done and our list is getting there. 

But back to the main point. Those talking Jesse down because of a flaw in his game, are not giving his positives due recognition.

Jesse is a super talent and could rise to champion status if he puts in the effort and he has luck with injuries from now on so we need to extract maximum compo from the club he goes to, most likely the Dockers.

Totally agree and he’s still contracted and the dockers want him desperately. 

If they are willing to offer him 1.2 mil a year they will have a hard time explaining why they shouldn’t cough up #5 & #6 for him and both parties walk away with what they want

Like your avatar, you speak in riddles and seemingly struggle with communicating a narrative. (And like your avatar sake are consistently negative).

On one hand you talk Hogan down and basically say he is overrated. On the other you say we'll get to first rounders. Do you think clubs are in the habit of paying top price for average players?

lol! im talking about what i think will happen. I'd take a straight swap for may and hogan but i don't think the club will. i'd actually be happy going to the draft with the picks we get too.

I can understand he may want to return to WA to be near his Mum, but he’s been here for several years now and surely most of his friends are Melbourne-based. Why would he want to go to a team that’s on the bottom rungs of the ladder (apart from $)? Most players who have retired and look back on their careers, when interviewed say that they would rather have been in a successful team than have earned more dollars. Also, maybe Melbourne can offer a few more $ as well?

If he stays it may explain why we asked the AFL for permission to trade next years 1st round pick, which goes some of the way towards potentially getting May and KK.

GREAT NEWS - thanks for sharing.

And yet you've said you'd be happy to do a straight swap with May who also didn't finish in the top 10, and before you say it's because he only played 17 games, Martin and Thompson both finished top 10 for them and both played the same or less games than May. Whereas all the Melbourne top 10 played more games than Jesse.

Melbourne may be making freo sweat to ensure we get pick 5 & 6

Isnt that basically what was said from the start?  We are happy to keep him unless something is put in front of us that we absolutely couldnt refuse?

Narrative has morphed since into this going down like a regular trade, fears of getting low balled.. etc

Mother of all offers thanks Freo, or GTFO

Really? Seems odd they would do it today and not at BnF or earlier when it was brought up? This is what I mean by not trusting what anyone says!

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
