Freo were hell bent on not trading him last season and he was contracted. comes out of contract at the end of this year and I know we’ve been targeting him for a few years now

Watch this space - Ed Langdon from Freo

Why? We have Preuss and another ruck would take minutes off Bradtke

- One of Melbourne, Collingwood, Richmond and West Coast miss the top 4 (hope it isn't us) - Adelaide get back to strong footy and make top 6 - Oliver wins our BnF, McDonald 2nd - Weideman continues his growth, 30 goals + - Hunt regains his spot - Kolodjashnij has a great year and becomes on of our most important players as an outside mid - We lose in the prelim again (gut feel) - The Preuss/Gawn tandom is deemed a failure by round 4

Would appreciate reports on how the 3 U17 boys (Noah Anderson, Charlie Dean and forget the 3rd) go today

5 year deal

Would love us to package 28 and 23 and trade high into the first round

Neale hasn't even been officially traded yet so expect a bit of time before we expect a Hogan deal

Come on Dees, push for 19 over 23

Hopefully 6 and 19 does it. Should

On the surface not sure why Brisbane do this? Surely more invloved

Tom Morris‏Verified account @tommorris32 FollowFollow @tommorris32 More And we have some movement! Understand Brisbane will trade a future first round pick to Gold Coast and receive Pick 19 in return. This will get the things going. Neale-Hogan etc. Details soon on @FOXFootyLive 6:57 PM - 16 Oct 2018

Apparently they've been locked in a meeting with GWS for hours re. Rory Lobb Source Mark Stevens twitter

Obviously we picked the wrong people to manage our list because clearly some people here on DemonLand know better than the professionals list managers our footy department hired ?

Hope we can do seperate deals Hogan, pick 44 and 62 for pick 5, 23, 30 pick 5 for May and pick 29 future 3rd round pick for Kolodjashnij

That's why I was saying we need to give them 5 and we will get 29 back

These numbers are honestly useless because Gold Coast were so terrible that their backline was so under-siege

Am I the only one who would want Jesse to play defence next year if he stays? also, the Kolodjashnij deal will be separate to May. Read that it’ll be a future 3rd rounder. Probably completed tomorrow

Agree with this

If we traded pick 5 to Gold Coast for May, we’d also get pick 29 back in return Suns only have 5 list spots, and would have picks 2,3,19,24 and 29. Add 5 and they’d have to get rid of a pick

Just be patient guys. This will work itself out, couldn’t be surer that Hogan will be wearing purple next year

Hate to be somewhat of a bubble burster, but if we all really valued and rated Hogan, we’d all be celebrating from this outcome instead we’re all bashing Freo

Few things going through my head currently off the back of today 1) why would Freo have done the pick swap with Port just to bail on Hogan? Strange. 2) why would Freo say this 5 days out from deadline day? Surely they knew that our demands would be 2x first rounders from the beginning. Strange again 3) we should leak to the media that Jesse Hogan will sign a long term extension with Melbourne if the trade doesn’t go ahead 4) why would hogan want to go to Freo next year after how he’s currently being treated?

This will get done, will be a hectic final day though
