Tom Browne had reported earlier today that Freo weren't that keen any more... Perhaps they pulled out, or going very hard as a negotiating tactic to see how desperately Melb want to push him out

Or maybe they are scared off by his navicular injury?    Its a real problem, though apparently it was caught early.

 

We may have to wait until next year to get May under free agency, in the absence of trading a seriously good player at this stage it can’t be done.

If it’s true this is fantastic news for our club. Teams build and grow and the  shine of early picks are great but I’d take s fit Jess Hogan over an 18 year old for where we are right now.

No doubt that's the underlying reason, along with Melbournes asking price and any other baggage he's perceived to be carrying

Freo have baulked i would put cash ? on it....

The backlash of losing Neale May have been too great for them.

 

I find this whole situation quite intriguing.

It started with unfounded rumours (e.g. Greg Denham), then progressed to the club itself failing to hose down the speculation, to everyone believing it was going to happen, to now there being question marks and even a "report" from Perth that he's staying.

I suppose all it says is that no one actually knew anything and we're all still none the wiser.

Oh, and Greg Denham remains a fool.

There are lots of subplots that we will never know. The pressure will be on for him to re-sign and fully commit to the club.

But how will we get to 300 now!

 

Sydney....

A bit like Buddy it was always Sydney not GWS.

Freo are the new GWS, Hogan is bound for Sydney.

...there you go 'sue', that should get the 300 easily.

Well I hope he is signing an extension if he is staying cause I don’t want to go through this crap all next year. The end of the season speculation is enough. 

Listening to SEN & they have put the question out to all journalists across the country to confirm the story about hogan .. & so far no one knows anything. They can’t even reach Basil Zemplaris who originally reported the story.. Something is seriously fishy about this... 

Maybe he met Ross Lyon on his tour and thinks, well gee, its a lot of money but...

I think basically Freo can't afford him without losing Neale.

 


If freo have pulled out I doubt hogan will go home anytime now, he may resign till he is free agent then chase $$$ anywhere 

I can't believe I'm analysing a 5 second grab but the words "missed out" suggest the decision was Hogan's. The Perth media would have put a different slant on it (even in 5 seconds) if they'd cooled on the deal.

What good would an extension be? He is under contract now and it clearly didn’t make the trade speculation go away!

Even if the argument is there would be an extension would mean less chance of noise through the year, given this turn of events, I suspect there will forever be noise with Hogan until such time he does return to WA.

Jump on SEN 1116 now. 

Cheers.

The Jesse news reached the UAE quickly, the Aussies have lost 7 wickets since that 5 second snipet broke. 

SEN frantically putting calls out to Perth Media and getting no responses as yet. 

I hope this is correct and staying. You don't want to lose a player like Hogan unless there is something wrong and we might not know that until early in the next season. We do not need to bend over for a player like May. He is not that good.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
