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.

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

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

I went to all the finals 98-2006 and don’t recall such massive support maybe just coz it’s been so long

Amazing performance and the atmosphere: incredible! Are we a much bigger club than we realise never seen so much red and blue!?

Freo trade half their midfield to get Hogan then have nobody to kick the ball to him meaning he would need to play midfield.....right. I think Freo need to get over their obsession with OUR player and worry about building a half reasonable football team.

Do you think they'd ever play badly enough for long enough to get dropped?

only players who aren't performing up to the coach's standard

Wouldn't the coach have dropped him to the VFL like Gartlett if he was as poor as you're saying?

But if he doesn't want to go then what? He may see himself as a true Demon. This isn't a Jack Watts situation where an underperformer has been given many years to rectify his issues and couldn't or wouldn't meet the required standard. We can't just treat our players as trading pieces to be shuffled around without taking into account the impact on team morale (and as you said dynamics). How can the club demand loyalty and keep a strong list together in an environment where they'd need to accept less money if we turned around and did that? Trading Jesse who is a loved and respected figure at the club would have much bigger ramifications than just player in/player out. Football isn't the same as a straight business where the prime objective is to make as much money as possible - its a lot more emotional than that!

Unless he requests a trade, I can't see it happening...Goodwin hasn't built the foundations of the club on strong relationships only to offload one of our most promising young stars when he's just about to peak

Premium supporters area (level 2 southern) sometimes my headphones just dont go up loud enough

Can we trade all the "supporters" who constantly bag him throughout games where I sit at the G instead?

Bad idea. He's not going to want to go to Freo they are rubbish. And I'm not sure it's great idea to make one of our main rivals (West Coast) stronger while weakening our forward options.

Hard to see him leaving anytime soon to play with a side that looks a fair way off finals footy....Freo have an ok list but a lot of gaps still. And playing under Ross "The Floss" Lyon! The way they move the ball he'd be lucky to kick 30 goals a season!

Without a fit and in form Jayden Hunt we look so slow: miss him when he's at his best so badly

Would he even get a game in our best 22? Never heard of him either
