Graeme Yeats' Mullet

Maybe he failed the medical? Foot?

It's itching for a naming rights sponsor

Surely Jesse Hogan is worth more than Stephen May.... etc, etc

Trade Radio - caller Rob just now has to be a Demonlander... ?? C'mon out yourself

I don't dispute Just wondering where we might find one of them?

And somehow Garlett survives Agree, potential balls up

Trade Radio - Tyson being pushed out to GCS, but 'No Thanks'

NFI... Clue?

Yep. We'd better get some serious quality coming our way or it'll be a train wreck

Check out @caty_price’s Tweet:

Craig Cameron stated GCS encouraged KK to look elsewhere during his exit IV

Agree but doesn't hurt as depth in that department and Hunt and Stretch have been injured a bit

75 ?‍♂️ Shows that the club is in a poor bargaining position as soon as a player starts to look elsewhere

As soon as Hogan says he's decided he wants to go home to Freo we'll be in the same position as you describe here for May and GCS

I do feel we're being softened up to accept unders for Jesse... If we don't get 2 x First Rounders, I'll be dissappointed But, we're going to have plenty of late 2nd / 3rd ish round picks you'd think in return for Kent, Tyson amd AvB (if he goes). Perhaps we get pick 4 + Brayshaw, for Hogan and pick XX (e.g. Kent return) Then, pick 4 to GCS get us May plus a discount on KK. So 4 plus pick YY (e.g. late 3rd round) for May and KK

His smile certainly isn't!

Doubt it I think he'd prefer one of picks 4&5 staying at Freo and passing him the ball

Given the club has already publicly stated we're awaiting his decision on where he wants to be, then finding out that answer is logically next. Might not be through him, but I expect it'll be publicly stated. The journo's airport ambush on Ch10 earlier showed the line of questioning that'll persist for Jesse until that question is answered

Jesse flying to Perth tonight Ch 10 just showed an airport ambush by a journo and cameraman on Jesse

We won't get these 2 picks If Jesse publicly states he wants to leave, then his value is diminished - we won't make him stay for 2019, imagine the impact the press coverage would have particularly if he has a few bad games I think we'd get 5 + a player at best

Freo have picks 5 & 77, they'll probably get pick 4 for Neale They don't have currency in each draft round to horse trade picks

Agree, so I'm kinda surprised then that this is playing out publicly

If Jesse comes back to the club and says he wants to go, is our position then severely diminished? I think it must be. It would be much harder to keep him on the list having told us he'd prefer not to be there... Mahoney coming out publicly and saying this seems to me to dent our bargaining position - unless the deal has been done in principal already. Does this explain Bell seemingly moving the goal posts? If so it's a pretty good negotiating ploy, get all the cards laid bare and then drop offer.

Agree with this and others above - 1 x First Rounder (even plus scraps) is way unders I just find it interesting that the sentiment is so far progressed to him being gone, even from Mahoney saying ball is completely in Jesse's court. Couple this with Freo having limited draft pick currency and aspirations for Lobb and/or others this year. I feel I'm missing something, or the deal is not all that feasible givem Freo's position. If I'm missing something, what is it?

I have a feeling we might do this deal for 1 x First Rounder This is unders IMHO, but Dal Santo on Trade Radio also discussing this as unders however Maclure suggesting our bargaining position is diluted by: - Hogan 1 year remaining - Inevitable he'll go home sometime - May in play now I presume also a Navicular injury adds some doubt... Even so, if we do for 1 x First Rounder I'll be disappointed. Is there something we don't know about Hogan that the club does that is diminishing his value...?
