Mahoney dropped his nuts at the trade table. ..

So do you think we will be a worse side next year with no Hogan but May & KK in? Think about our wins without Hogan then answer.

Edit: How many more wins if we had had May? 2 = top 4 finish

Yes Peter Bell wins. Mahoney caved but knew Jesse wanted to go home. 

We all move on. 

I don't understand how he wins...

Made a big song and dance on Friday about pulling out of the Hogan deal and ended up paying what was offered on the Friday.

Not much changed except for Bell doing a 180...

[censored] Fremantle but they’ve come out smelling roses. 

ONLY UNTIL FREO ATTEMPT TO FIELD HOGAN WEEK IN, WEEK OUT. For Freo, to avoid further embarrassment, they had to complete this deal at any cost. The navicular injury is lifelong. Just as the attitude and histrionics are self-centred. The MFC could see what bubbled beneath the surface. Success is a team game - not an individual pursuit.

My understanding of negotiation in any business is that you start off asking for more than you're likely to get. And everybody involved in the deal knows it. I would hardly expect Mahoney to ask for something and then be given more than he wanted. I can't understand why people seem surprised or disappointed that we didn't get what was surely an initial ambit claim.

Fair call mate, I'm too attached to Hogan to have a reasonable or unbiased view on this LDC, just so disappointed he's gone. I'll be right in a couple of hours ?

Hogan and Lobb will be salivating with the likes of Lachie Neale sticking it down their throat... oh hang on. 

 

I was a fan, but like ProDee I question why any sane, driven player would bail out now. 

Take solace in the fact that Weid has performed in front of back to back 90k crowds. Something Hogan will never experience. 

 

I’m not 100% sure about May and KK, but if they perform well then there’s nothing wrong with this deal at all.

With all this talk of being bent over and balls being lost, seeing a hole and filling it is another zinger (or am i being a little too perverse?)

Sad, but understandable.

I won't hold anything against Jesse for wanting to go home. He has had a pretty [censored] couple of years. It wouldn't have been much fun for him to sit out the finals after working so hard to get there.

There are a lot of variables on the table now. The trade works for us so long as the Weed continues to develop and Preuss can drop into the hole that Maxy worked so well.

There is a lot on here of Jessie's shortcomings.  Many on here happy to pot him on his way out.

I loved watching him play and he was an important part of our team while it was being rebuilt.  He was our only key forward for a few years (Clarke and Dawes always injured). 

He deserves recognition for sticking around when he could have left and spent more time with his dad.

Thanks Jessie for sticking with us during our tough times.  All the best at Freo.  Hope going home brings you the happiness you are seeking.

Excellent post, well said LH

Disappointed to see Jesse go but May and KK (who I rate very highly) to the club is excellent.

Id be interested in a last minute trade for 23 if someone became available...

Wrong pick

just as an aside - does anyone truly believe that Mahoney came out said the things about being open to Jesse being traded and also what final deal was going to be acceptable without input from others at the club ? This a Mahoney decision and no-one else's ?

Door closed on Hogan!  Weed better step up next year.  Time for a new forward to make a name at MFC.  Come on Weed the world is your oyster and possibly a flag next year!  Hogan can enjoy the exciting brand of Fremantle!!!!

Good luck Jesse...good waves and sunsets to you lad

Cheers

( Have fun with Ross... everyone does by all accounts ;) )

For those who like me  may have been wondering, our draft picks are:-

23, 36, 46, 54, 62, 91

So we have traded out, retired and delisted 11 players, traded in 3 players but only have 6 picks. I'm confused. Do we have 2 fewer players on our list this season?

hahaha...i'm really struggling with this one mate, it's  bringing back nightmares of the wizard being poached by Freo. I'm far more upset with him leaving more than anything Josh has said, just deflecting i think, i'm very unreasonable at the moment mate

Anyone know our flag odds now ? ;)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
