OK, I'm not answering this question again, it's getting tiresome. As I said, Mitch Cleary said it and common bloody sense would say Freo wouldn't have put him through a medical, wouldn't have put in an offer for Jesse if he didn't want to go there or hadn't agreed. And for the process to get that far all parties would have agreed to salary and terms, this is common sense, if you can't work that out then I can't help you.

Mitch Cleary said he wants to be at Freo next year. Players don't need to come out and say anything, I'm not sure why everyone is thinking that, they can agree behind closed doors, like May would have. As I said, he wouldnt of done a medical if he didn't want to go there. Nor would Freo put in an offer if didn't want to go there. Hope is the first sign of denial around these parts (not directed at you).

Scully off to Hawks with Wingard by the sounds of it......FML

Mick Warner "In the end, Fremantle will give up pick 5 for Jesse Hogan. They will play hardball, but will relent around 7pm next Wednesday night."

He wouldn't have done a medical if he didn't want to go there.

Freo offering a future second is also an insult, assuming they'll move up a little with natural progression

They said on TR this morning he had told Freo he wants to play for them, maybe Mitch Cleary?

A few thoughts, I think Mahoney coming out and saying we can't land May without moving on Jesse could be a driving factor in Freo's offer also, I reckon Josh would like to take those words back however Freo are just about proving themselves as not worth dealing with by any club, their negotiation process and hard stance from the outside looks like total disorganisation. They could have sent Neale on his way and landed both Hogan and Lobb by now and focused on bringing in more trades, this from a club that nobody has wanted to go for years and they have 2 who do want to now (yes Jesse has told them he wants to play for them). Seems like West Coast may still be interested and I hope Gold Coast come knocking with their picks also, Jesse could be a marquee player for them for 10 years and the AFL will pay his salary or help out at least. Work out a deal with May, KK maybe Jack Martin or some decent player (KPF depth)and get it done. I do think Jesse will end up at Freo at this stage, but they'd want to get cracking. What a basketcase of a club, basically holding up many other clubs doing deals while they're at it too. The way they've conducted themselves this trade period is an embarrassment and I would be [censored] off if I was a member. Anyway, I think it was a pretty slimy move from Freo trading their pick 6, trying to make us fold, but buckle up, the more clubs come knocking the better now and it'll all come back to bite them. What a beautiful article/clip from 9 Perth last night haha. But, the fact Jesse has said he wants to go to Freo, I don't want him next year now, before that I wasn't phased either way, so long as we get what we ask, which is 2 first rounders or similar.

So Freo probably offer Hogan $1-$1.2m then offer those picks.........you've got to laugh? Don't you? lol

You wouldn't even need to start a thread for that.

I think the Weller trade from last year has cooked Freo's brain

That's the issue, if Freo finish say 10th next year it's only pick 8-9 they'll have.

Freos stubborness could stuff everything up here if Crows get pick 5.

haha, I'm done! Seeya when we have news! lol

Dont shoot the messenger, its all going to be okkkkkkkkkk

Tom Browne saying Hogan will leave this year or next. Not sure I want him in the team when he has one leg back in WA. MELBOURNE want pick 5 and a future first round pick from FREO

I don't think I can believe that he hasn't made his mind up yet, if he hasn't then the club should give him a nudge, we have a premiership list to build.

Barrett reporting that Freo/Hogan interest still there (fancy that). Freo have an order which Lobb is first, Melb have requirements. Melb would need to know within 48 hours, hinted that maybe Jesse still making up his mind but shut down rumours of Freos interest waning.

Barrett reporting that they need to negotiate an outcome with Neale before Lobb and Hogan.

Is there any guarantees that May will net them a band 1 compo next year? Is this an argument we can bring to the table or it's guaranteed? They'll probably finish last so I can see why they are playing hard ball.

Looks like Freo are holding up a heap of trades. From a productive point of view they'd have to make a decision soon as it's holding us up. When would the club say enough is enough, cough up or Jesse stays? Just taking too long and holding us up. Hogan could stay and this years period could be a fizzer.

Medical report must've really put the wind up Fremantle.
