    i guess thats good. but considering pick 5 and 6 won't happen we will still have to wait for free to trade to get a pick in the teens so we are still ages away

    Picks 5 & 6, or NO DEAL.

    For Hogan,,, and a face-saver future 2019 2nd Rnd pick.

    Movement at the station:

    SEN reporting that Neale deal will get done with 2018 #5 and #32 from the Lions.

    Hopefully, just a matter of time now!

     

    Edit:  not suggesting we accept those for Jessie, see them as a starting point.

    Would Freo do a deal to trade out Neale without simultaneously doing a deal to trade Jesse in? Why trade out Neale without getting some candy in return to sell hope to the members??

    maybe the deal was leaked by Brisbane and now it puts the pressure back on Freo to secure Hogan if they are losing Neale. 

    Interesting times indeed.

    Hogan is a contracted gun forward that we don’t have to trade. Fremantle are in desperate need of a gun forward. Stick to our guns.

    i just want to get rid of Hogan. Grossly overrated and doing well without him has been no coincidence. Trade him for may and be done with it and win the flag next year.

    We don’t have to get used to anything. 

    Hogan can play for the MFC next year

    Freo can get f$&@d

    Do not bend over. 

    I did give both of the choices for us to get used to. We either accept that Freo aren't going to sell the farm for Hogan or we keep Hogan and go through another year of speculation and then possibly lose him for less next year.

    Seems Freo dont want to pay for quality.

    Like someone going into a Lambo shop with a $5000 budget. Time wasters.B813B58C-E949-48ED-A7AA-3A2275EC45AA.thumb.png.be90c508ab3e906142404437835c6d1d.png

    Of course not and didn't mean to imply such!  Just a starting point. Mahoney asked for high end picks.  Can't bend over to 1 high pick and late 2nd round pick. 

    #5 and a pick in the 8-14 range (2018 or 2019) +/- later pick trade, Freo favour.

    Didn't mean to imply you did. Just piggybacking off that 'news'

    Well...the 5 is a start. I noted elsewhere there most likely be something with it ( of course )

    I still lean to a player. Intriguing.

    Can't  give him away that would be stupid.

    I just cannot see us getting this despite us all wanting this.

    Freo will not give us this particularly with Lobb in their sights.

    If we don't budge on this point then I think Freo will take their chances next year going head to head with the Eagles.

    We're going to have to get used to either taking a first rounder and a player/later pick or Jesse staying for the year and then leaving us next year when we'll get less.

    I think we set somewhat of a precedence last year when giving up 2 x first rounders for Lever.

    Personally, if a trade is to take place, I can see;

    Out; Hogan

    In; Pick 6 (2018 - presuming they get that for Neale), 2019 1st Round

    I would then try and trade our 2019 1st Round pick to Gold Coast for May (would require a combination of other picks too, possibly including our 2nd Round pick this year).  Means we will keep Pick 6 for this year, and then have Freo's 1st pick next year (Pick 1 hopefully, but realistically 2-8).

    Ha ha ha, would be quite hilarious if Freo baulked and Jessie stays here where he is loved and appreciated so well by all (just as soon as this thread is deleted).

    I can see it now, Hogan to stay with Melbourne, declares "Fremantle have shown they aren't going anywhere, so I'm not going anywhere near them'".

    The way it is starting to sound, Peter Bell seems to think that the motto 'act like a champion to become a champion' includes expecting players to come to your club on favourable terms as if you are a well-run unified premiership contender. Which is fine if you are any of those things, but they aren't, so just look silly and insulting.

    Next Hogan quote "I'm staying with Melbourne, where I have close bonds, where I'm wanted, and where I'll be part of a well-run unified premiership contender".

    And finally "I have a lot of respect for Matthew Richardson but I don't want to emulate his career"

    How about if Freo dont want to cough up this year that's fine, they can have Hogan for pick 5 and we can accept their 2019 1st Round & 2nd round picks. 

    So they can still do their business for Rory Lobb @ pick 6.

    They will still be turd next year and we possibly get picks close range 4 to 7 and low 20's. 

    Then we can hold Port to ransom for pick 5.

    A "tele-prompter error" reminds me of the old "computer error" excuse.   

    I am impressed that AI has now got so advanced in tele-prompters that the device is deducing the news in advance of it happening.

    Ironic since getting Hogan to the club was the only positive thing your Avatar sake did for the club.

    You good doctor are the gift that keeps giving.

    So we get 5 and something else for Hogan and waste pick 5 on May. I just don't get it. Make em pay 5 and 6 or next years 1st rounder instead of six. If not they can ge% ^%$#$%. Use 5 on best suited vic in draft not on May.

    one would need to be desperate to pay pick 5 for May... he comes free next year

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
