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.

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

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!
