Why would anyone want a player that would prefer to play for Freo. He obviously has more important things in his life than football and that is obvious. He is a sublime talent but his head is not on the footy field.

You've got some good footy views STMJ but you really are an awful person. 

Why awful? 

Posters are complaining and trade period is not even over. 

They have no idea what we'll end up with and they refuse to look at the picture at large.

If we don't win a flag in the next 5 years and Hogan takes Freo to one, that's when I'll admit that the trade was a fail or that we got 'unders' for Hogan.

Good that the deal has been done.

Despite his talent, it was always been what he could do for us.

He had some good games but overall his contribution was patchy at best, when we could get him on the paddock. 

He has not been the worth the coin he was being paid and certainly not worth more based on his performance.

Sick of the constant speculation around this guy. 

We are building a team where everyone has a role.

We were not building a team around one player.

So Freo this trade period
Gain - 14 and some later pics, Hogan, Lobb, Conca

Lose - pick 6 and Neale

They've smashed it. They've landed Hogan and Lobb AND still got a pick int he first round. We've been poor by comparison. Disappointing.

Except without Lachie Neale, how are Fremantle going to get the to their forwards? Fyfe will do a lot of the heavy lifting, but who else?

People are disappointed to see Hogan go.  Is there an issue with that?

You're dancing on their disappointment like a big bully.

These bunch of amateurs just got us to  a preliminary final. you seem clueless in negotiation skills.

So T Mac goes down with an injury.  Who are our key forwards then? The Weid?  Yeah that will win a premiership!

For decades we have cried out for a power forward unit.....we get close and then we trade 'em.

Good one Dees!

No, they're disappointed about 'pick value' that we're getting back.

Nothing else.

Yes Jesse can do some spectacular things on the footy field. But I really think he is an individual driven player, this might change with maturity but I doubt it... 

He lacks defensive pressure it never seemed to fully buy into our team & city. 

Its no coincidence that our BEST wins of the last 4 or 5 years have been with no Jesse. 

we have netted a pick 3 in return where we will get a full back for 4-5 years, a potential outside runner (former pick 5) & pick 23 to bring in a very decent role player. 

Sure pick 19 would have been better, perhaps we have something planed already for 23 in an on trade?

Watch every other club in the league circle our midfield over the next 3 years.

"Melbourne give up their stars for peanuts. Let's give Clayton, Angus and Christian a call, surely we can get em for a second round each."

We'd better get on with winning next year's premiership so I can live with Jesse nabbing the Colemans in 2022-2025.

your full of joy and positivity

Freo have been absolutely desperate for a key forward .. we DID have leverage before we came out and admitted we're happy for him to go home and we need the deal to get done for May... Amateurish

If Hogan made it clear to all and sundry that he wanted to go home, then why not say we are happy for him to go home.  No one would believe us if we said we'd hang on to him grimly.

The pick value is good then fair

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
