Agreed, that’s part of the mindset bit.

Funny thing I recall early in his career when he crashed a pack of opposition backs, while running with the flight of the ball, took the mark and ran on to kick the goal.

I had a reliable auditory hallucination that one of the issues other clubs perceive as a problem with Hogan is that he allegedly wanted to go to Fremantle. List managers and coaches just not prepared to take the risk trying to manage something they just can't understand.

Rumours are he's had this condition for years and it has been interfering with his focus, but it has only become a serious problem recently.

Please help raise awareness: Wanting to go to Fremantle, together we can find a cure.

This situation is a massive fail on behalf of the MFC. We've publicly shopped an A grade player and it has ended in any embarrassing debacle and given air time to so called personal 'issues' in the public arena.

While it may seem fine now as Bell and Co are publicly shamed as the cause, I imagine Jesse can't be happy and I suspect consequences of this mess to linger into 2019 for the MFC.

I think this happened because Hogan refused to sign a contract extension and by inference was wanting out after 2019

Mahoney has stated we were accommodating Jess’ desire to go home. No shopping occurred.

I wouldn't. I'm strongly in favour of dealing fairly and not making ambit claims.  Players respect that and it makes us an attractive destination who can get the job done.  I think it's good that Mahoney has made it clear all along that to get May depended on the Hogan trade.  We save face with May too.

I'm not a a take it or leave trade hardman but Freo have behaved very unprofessionally and we should not co-operate with them and re-inforce this type of behaviour.  Otherwise it will set a precedent we don't want.  They have created their own disaster.

There appears to be a reasonable price from us in the public domain and that's 5 & 23.  Freo could come back cap in hand at that price and a deal could still be done if Jesse would still entertain going there.

People keep talking about pick 5 but Freo don't even own this pick. They seem adamant to burn Neale and refuse to let him go to Brisbane (the reverse of what they did with McCarthy 2-3 years ago) so that being the case they won't have pick 5 to deal with anyone.

Hogan will play off half back next year, a solid inside source told me about an hour ago. Also told me last week that Tyson was gone for Pruess. 

So i will watch closely. 

“The club is not unhappy” his words...

I have heard this as well. If he remains at the club (which now looks a certainty) Goodwin plans to trial him across halfback pushing up to a wing.

Some might scoff at the suggestion but how many supporters predicted TMac would become a 50+ goal a year forward two years ago?

This could very well be a premiership winning move. No risk, no reward!

Nonsense. The whole football world has known since day 1 that Jesse has had one eye cocked at the WA border. Also that Freo has been whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

If he won't commit beyond next year, then the right time to trade him is now while we still get some say in it.

We've been good to Jesse and hopefully he will pay us back the right way.

Sorry but this is a rubbish post. 

Fremantle tapped Jesse up and knocked on our door, never the other way ‘round. The MFC has handled itself with class and dignity in this thing unlike our pea brained purple counterparts.

Sorry GYM can't have this. If anything our reputation is enhanced.

We made it abundantly clear what was required to get the deal done and didn't play any silly games. Rock solid. No leaks and no stupid posturing. In short, honest. A good club to deal with.

Freo on the other hand clearly leaked stuff to the media and allowed silly stories to get legs. Then walked back on a commitment to jessie by low balling him. A [censored] club to deal with.

One thing I am really hating is the borderline character assassination of jessie. He's our player. Get the [censored] around him.

All could have been pursued and agreed behind closed doors and then announced once complete

How it was put into the public domain without being a done deal was Mahoney's choice (or loose lips from Jones and co maybe forced his hand)

Just saying, if this outcome was a strong possibility then the deal wouldn't have been considered as it is a severe let down to Jesse

My Cockburns?

Freo's headquarters is Cockburn Central, so probably infers multiple burnt apendages after the MFC told them they can all go F$#@! themselves, because they are not getting Jessie for the rubbish they were carrying on with.

You are a very negative man Graeme, who makes lots of assumptions.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
