I’ve heard Freo fans wanting Brisbane to trade Beams to Collingwood for pick 18, then to package up 5 & 18 for Neale. In what world is the gap between Neale and Beams that big?

Very appropriate post to begin page 300

Tim Kelly would rather stay at Geelong for one for season than play for Fremantle, @RalphyHeraldSun

Hope Freo miss out on Hogan & Lobb, then elect not to trade Neale and he sits out for a year. Would be amazing scenes.

Hope Neale sits out a year if they don’t trade him

Yep no doubt

BS - if all they do this trade period is replace Neale with Lobb they are deadset fkd.

Could Goldcoast genuinely be an option? Ton of cash to blow and no doubt would get a helping hand from the AFL in some way, draft picks to burn, and out of the spotlight for Hogan.

Get quality in, worry about team balance later I reckon. Especially with Kennedy's age and body letting him down multiple times a season.

Bell-End

No one really knows....I've seen nothing on Twitter other than people being very confused with what Basil said. Something does seem fishy, you'd think if he failed the medical it'd be impossible to keep it out of the media and Basil would have said something, wouldn't you? Claiming that Freo have "missed out" on Hogan makes it look like he's decided to stay at the Dee's himself...FWIW I reckon he's still Freo bound..

Good to see Fremantle's MK-Ultra operative Basil Zempilas has been activated by Peter Bell.

Seems bloody weird that this news would only warrant 30 seconds of news time in Perth

I clearly don't, scroll up?

Layzie joke

Agreed mate, I reckon Jesse's departure will lead to a better list overall.

No, it's not irrelevant, if the footy departments goals involve only pick 5 for Hogan it is a complete and utter failure and we have been well and truly bent over.

Let me rephrase, I agree almost entirely with what you’ve said, the bigger picture and achieving our list goals are far more important than what the deal is on paper - for the most part. But if the club rolls over and accepts pick 5 alone, which I’m almost certain won’t happen, it will be a failure of a trade for a player who is easily worth two top 10 picks in the mind of any reasonable person (shout out to Sam McClure).

I agree completely but if it's just pick 5 it's a complete failure.

Reckon I'd burn Dees HQ down if that happened (just joking FBI man reading this).

Geez Rankine looks unbelievable.

Surely Port wouldn’t trade picks 9 & 10 for pick 4?
