Which defenders are great 1-1 in the current era...is May?

Hogan 1v1 is a monster...he destroyed Rance in his debut season part of the reason he gets so frustrated now is he's double and triple teamed most of the time. Under these new rules he'll be a dominant force in the AFL if we trade him, insanity.

They are in for hell with no support....none of these guys are used to defending 1-1. Its like being a bowler in 20-20, cannon fodder

Defenders are going to get munched by decent forwards no matter how good they are under these rules it's all about centre clearances

Keep all 3, win the premiership then Hoges can go with all our blessings

6-6-6 at centre bounce rule changes just announced no longer stacked backlines....key forwards value just went through the roof

Precisely. And their star midfielder and dual B+F winner is leaving and telling people he will never play for the coach again. They also re-contracted Harley Bennell a month ago and are now giving him the ar$e....what a joke.

Freo are such a garbage organization the way they conduct themselves...I could understand if Jesse wanted to go to a professional outfit in West Coast but I hope he realises he's effectively urinating his career away

I hope he stays just to annoy the "supporters" who dont like him

If Preuss is so great how come he couldn't get a game with North all season? Looks a bit of a lumbering dinosaur to me

Hard to see how Freo are going to satisfy us and GWS without trading out established stars of their own, more than Neale even

wake me when its over....

Had Jesse on my membership card the last two years ? Who to choose next...?

I'm in the 'keep' camp as well...it's easy to trade all the guys who aren't 100% guaranteed a spot in the starting 22 but then where does that leave you when the inevitable injuries hit? West Coast were missing 3 or 4 of their absolute best side for the Grand Final but still had a deep enough squad to win the premiership: Sheed probably wouldn't have even played had Gaff not been suspended and he was their 2nd best player on the day.

Hate all other teams equally: if we don’t win the premiership who gives a toss

If we win a flag and Freo haven't, we'll be happy If they win one with Jesse starring and we haven't saluted, the club will burn down

urgh

I agree load up with 2 top 10 picks in the superdraft the way GWS do

Deans a decent player always injured though: Saints are taking a big risk with 3 years

Someone tell Jesse that playing on rock hard Optus Hell-hole Stadium and flying 4 hours each way back and forth across the country every fortnight isn't going to be great for career longevity

It's gonna be interesting if a suitable deal can't be reached and he ends up staying

Our club's idiotic if we are spooked into trading him when we could have stuck to our guns....we won't get his true value Steven May pffft

Is May even that good? I don't see Hogan out May in being an improvement to the side at all

It was too damn hot....worst day at the footy ever I was in the blazing sun the entire match thought I was going to roast. Night footy there in future only please, 1:20PM in Perth Springtime, madness

Good season making the finals and winning 2 exceeded my expectations. Pressure and intensity in a Prelim goes up another notch, most of our guys hadn’t experienced that and they weren’t ready for it today....today will have taught them a lot.
