As a DFA I think he worth picking up. Not sure why Freo no longer wanted him, considering who they gave 1 yr contracts too. Handy depth player but could surprise us in a settled role.

Play the dockers in Perth (instead of WC) I think that will be a given given Hogan trade. They are a waste of time at the G in terms of crowd. Like Rd Pies or geelong - become a regualr QB/ANZAC know our block busters. A few more Friday night games against, Don's, Carlton (For fun), or anyone with a big following.

with good consistent delivery into the forward line we'll kick enough goals. We have Tmac and Weed to break packs and compete when required.

Not sure if it’s been said but Freo haven’t shown up at Marvel stadium yet! Bunch of tools.

That would be grand to be honest.

The basically sums it up. From the AFL website wrap for today "That's why the Dockers have been circling him for so long. And that's why it would be disastrous if they let him go when he's finally gettable just because they want a 'win' rather than a 'win-win'. "

On ch10 news, They have no idea.edit: Perth staion

Given the circumstances that may happen. how did the Hawks swing it?

I wonder if we have said to GC, "What can we arrange for May without the Hogan deal". They might be working on a package as a backup, who knows, It depends on what May has told GC. Might be a few players we feel we can swap and still improve our list. Not that I think too many our player want to go North.

Good luck to Kent. Deal is about right, he has a body made of paper. Breaks down too often for a higher pick.

This is a spot on comment by one of their own members: "Fremantle during trade week remind me of that fat kid at school who used to go around trying to shaft everyone in basketball card trading deals." Classic. I do remember they tried to get their current forward and then wouldn't part with the picks and screwed him for a year. Why would like you to go a club like that.

Why would'nt you. But the reality its Freo and given their history it not a place you would rush to play footy.

Maybe he met Ross Lyon on his tour and thinks, well gee, its a lot of money but... I think basically Freo can't afford him without losing Neale.

Did Peter Bell critics the dockers for resigning him late in the season while a ABC radio presenter? He started on Saturday and I think his first thought was get rid of that dead weight. They should just pay him out for the stupid contract for next year and get rid of him. They are just hoping to move him on with minimal fuss. The guy can't get through 2 games of footy within 6 months. Not to mention his other issues.

But we can choose to match the RFA package if we wish. Assuming Neale leaves and it sounds like he wants to, then picks 4/5 is what Hogan is worth this year. If not we hold him and see what they come up with.

Our forward works with or without Jesse. Successful forward lines are built on getting the footy down there consistently to create opportunities to score, therefore the mid and backs really decide the game. We have goal kicking mids to support our forwards and two very good existing forwards which will mark or bring it to grounds, and both a have lots of years left so there is no desperate need for Jesse. However, having Jesse roaming the ground would be great for us. But in the end the club holds all the cards they can decide if they want to trade and on what terms for this trade period. Many times clubs haven't traded a player who wanted out and he went onto a great career with that club. How a player feels know doesn't always mean they will be the same in 12 months. Even if we don't get a good deal he is only restricted next year and we can match and then trade him to Freo. I guess its now watch this space.

Was a success as a mature age recruit to Roos then us. Stepped up to the best of his ability when called. Should retire satisfied based on his talent.

Every year Freo are reported to make a big pitch for a key forward. Same as every year SA teams made a pitch for Pavlich to return to SA, he never did. Hogan aerobic ability is huge for a key player, he does not need to play close to goal, true modern KP fwd.

I find the enlightens his desire to get a senior job he didn’t really look whether the club suited his style. that is important as well, some coaches need to fit the club culture too. He know realises he should have waited for a club that was a better fit for him. He was a disaster to us, but he was the face of it, not the whole problem.

Great news for jack, been an emergency for weeks so he finally got his chance.

i remember that being mentioned years ago now. But in modern footy it does not mean as much anymore unless your name is Howe...

Oscar has come up nicely. He'll been a lynchpin for years to com.e

Yeah I know. Life just got busy and I didn't join soon enough. I just the numbers were set for each comp.

HI I tried to join as the PM I sent but it said it was full.!! I have joined the Cordner League now.

I'll go again, "Darkhorse". though hopefully far better than last year as it was a shocker.
