Beams would have to take an enourmous pay cut to play with the filth. They couldn't afford his current wage and Brissy can dig their heels right in.

Beams contract was very much front ended, which is another reason why I think he should stay in Brissy.

With regard to Hogan and May if we get May and give up pick 5 but keep pick 11 I'm happy.

May will instantly improve our defence and yes Jesse will be missed but whilst it's a year early it is best to cash in now.

For those expecting Freo to finish in the bottom 4 next season you just never know. Don't underestimate the massive home ground advantage and if they get a good run with injury they can easily win 10 to 12 games with Hogan 

B.    Grey     Hamling      Wilson

HB. Cerra    Pearce       S.Hill

C.   Banfield Fyfe        B.Hill

HF. Walters  Hogan   Mundy

F.    Grey       Taberner Lobb

R. Darcy, Blackeny, Brayshaw 

I/C Conca, Langdon, Hughes, Ryan, Ballantine, Sheridan, Cox Etc.

Worst case scenario Jesse stays for another year when a lot can change 

 

Hilariously they’re also playing hard ball on Neale and claiming he’s worth pick 5&15... I’ve heard multiple people say they have been a nightmare to deal with this trade period

LOL. Um, no?

Offers like these only really prove that Freo is a powerhouse club, led by a great, tall GM and a smart coach, and filled to the brim with talent...

...Oh, wait.

I guess they don't want him after all

Ah... someone's suggesting an interesting idea.

You'd have to think this is a possibility. Unlikely...we would all have thought once. 

Something not quite right here. But is it the offer ?

Here we go. Let the whingeing begin!

you may not give a [censored] if we get a bad deal for a good player, but I do.

 

we got shafted.

 

best 25 when fit is worth more than 65.

Peter Bell End.

 

The $$$ in the contract is big enough that the Board have to meet to OK it but the picks are 11 plus somewhere in the early 20s? Forrest Gump type genius at Cockburn.

It exceeded the crowd number on page 6.

Are you referring to the cricket or to GW$ home crowds?

Not much better. We've done ok with pick 53 but I don't know of any good picks at 65. Pretty much unuseable therefore no better than PSD. Clearly FD wanted to move him on. Same as Swans moving on Rohan for pick 61

#61

Stephen Powell

Michael Rischtelli

Matt Stokes

Josh Hill

Jarryd Lyons

mmmmmm ........

If true, that is the most insulting, and laughable offer in the history of the AFL.

Freo, you can GAGF. Fuggin offensive [censored]

BB you keep hinting that there is a secret big cross against JH, but at the moment the only evidence of it is Freo's weak offer.   Until someone produces some more evidence, I'll just assume Freo are just waiting till next year.

No panic. Freo know we want to deal, they've made a smart low ball offer, we've rejected it. Until they even get pick 5 for Neale they can't offer it. We just have to wait it out a bit.

The good news is they offered pick 11 to us now rather than dealing it for Lobb.


why wouldn't freo just pull out rather than making an insulting offer and lower their credibility even lower than it already was?

This is why Mahoney is prepared to pay market value for players. It creates trust between us and other teams like GWS. Will come in handy of a Kelly or Coniglio wants out down the track.

All Peter Bell has ensured is that they get nothing and lose their prized asset to their arch rivals 12 months from now. Absolute idiots.

We have to walk away from that insulting offer.

He's giving Brett Burton a run for his money as most inept deal broker within the AFL.

 

Just wait, they'll come back to us with like 5 minutes to go before the end of the trade period with a more realistic offer, just to stuff us around.

How funny would it be if the Eagles offer a great deal and they get him next year.

Or even better he signs on and becomes a coleman medalist and multiple premiership player. 

 

That dud club and their cocky offer can get knotted.  As for Jesse, just tell them to FO and sign on for us for 5 years.  Enough is enough !!

Not a good start by us.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
