How do you know they didn’t do that on purpose?

It put MFC and its supporters offside making us even more fed up with the circus than we were.

Looked more a deliberate tactic to drive price down to me.

I think it got you fed up Rangey. Wouldn’t have made an ounce of difference at MFC. They knew he was going, at least they all saw he got there safely...

I don't agree with the supporters bit but it is certainly a possible stage by Freo.

Here's the bit that gets me:

Freo (apparently) had told Jesse's management that they would do the deal, involving their pick 6.  They then proceed to trade that out so that deal cannot get done.  WTF?

They then have a raft of picks, none of which would be enough to get the May deal done.  Their only hope is to get a high pick for Neale.  They baulk at this trade, and are saying they will not let him go.  They therefore cannot get the pick they know we would take to get it all done.  WTF??

We seem to have a positive relationship with Jesse, and have no need to accept a low ball offer.  Freo look like they are trying to be the Arthur Daley of the trading world.  Want us to offload our 2 first rounder valued player for chump change.  WTF??

Peter Bell-end and his team are confusing at best, deranged for certain.  Essentially lying to all sides and short dealing everyone they can.  If they had have taken a mature approach to all of this, they would have lost a midfielder (they have a few of those) and would get back a premium, marquee, 10 year power forward.

I'm sorry, I just don't get it.  There is no value to anyone behaving like this.

Spot on, and add to this:

They pull out of the trade, then rumours circulate that Jesse is damaged goods. No S#!@ Sherlock, losing a parent at that age, especially when you have a close knit family, will "damage" a person. (Speaking from person experience) Also if Jesse is the different cat, introverted bloke that people say. Well I'm sure his going to feel right at home at Freo now!! Bunch of morons.

There’s a reason we are not fighting tooth and nail to keep him. Quite the opposite in fact. The club is indeed fed up of the annual Jesse Hogan Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Freo know this and are exploiting it to the hilt.

You think they’d do that to a vulnerable guy like Hogan... really?! A guy they have supposedly coveted for years... they’d hang him out to dry like that... to “spook” MFC and it’s fans... pppffftttttt

So you really believe JH being videoed in Freo would have any effect on the MFC recruitment team.  What a laugh.   Looks more like some supporters are too easily spooked.

There is nothing to exploit. The deal is on the table

If it doesn’t get done. We keep our forward

AFL trade wrap today says talks are progressing between Freemantle and GWS for Lobb and suggested the following swaps could be on the cards.

GWS give Lobb and Pick 14

Freo give Pick 11 and Pick 23

If that happens then I can see a trade happening for Hogan quickly with Melbourne receiving 5 and 14. We will possibly have to even out with some later pick swaps for Freo to be happy. Guess it's all dependent on Freo trading Neale and learning to not be a d!ck. So probably won't happen actually.

There's no question that Wagon Wheels are the king of biscuits.

But the fact that Oreos made it on to the list at all shows that the author has no idea about anything, least of all biscuits, and is likely a negotiator for Fremantle.

I repeat. I do not believe it has anything to do with MFC fans. We have absolutely no control over this decision. If the club are going to do it, they're well enough run not to bow to fan pressure.

As for Fremantle, given their behaviour across week 1 of the trade period, I'd absolutely believe they would 'do that to a vulnerable guy'.

Exactly. If the club was hellbent on getting rid of a damaged player the MFC would have accepted pick 11

it didn’t happen.

So if they are amateurs and do pointless things, does that increase the likleyhood it would affect our team?  Of course not. Unless you think we are amateurs too.

No, but if we were as desperate as a couple of posters here say we are, we would have snapped it up and thrown in some steak knives.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
