Cheap Seats

It says a lot wbout freo and their strategy when pick 5 isnt enough for Neale but pick 6 is too much for Hogan. As much as May would have been nixe lets just keep hogan and move on

Probably had a night out with chicken... Damaged goods or not the kid can play. Freo can cry about the price all they want.... We welcome him back with open arms if I dosent get done and Freo continue to be shite

Freo have surely shot themselves in the foot for next year. Hahaha amateur hour

Hahahaha freo. Entertaining. Wonder how Jesse feels now. Freo aren't even keen on him

Gc would be perfect. Carn Gil make it happen

My understanding is his brother also might be at the pies this year. Not sure if he's father son, or just speculation

Freo clearly arent serious Maybe next yr hey failo?

Hahaha Tom Browne stating the obvious You dont have to be nostradamus to report that

Yes i agree As i said earlier the longer the Neale deal drags out the less likely it'll happen The Neal domino needs to fall first

Plus hogan neess to request to wwnt to leave

The first hurdle is the Lachine neale trade. If that don't happen its unlikely hogan will be traded. It could still happen without that trade but unlikely.

Are we able to confirm if hes there with Freo or Melb players haha Seems worried about his future by the look of that pic

All good, glad someone has faith.

Needs a new fred the other one has lost the plot

Should have been paying attention thought this was the Tom Dyson thread

Apparently its earlier these days

Clearly 300 pages os the goal

Sorry yes. I understand free what the different contractual status mean. I also understand restricted and unrestricted. What im saying is if freo and hogan are smart then they wait one more year. Buddy to swans for pick 18 or whatever the fa compo was is the most likely scenario imo for hogan to move. And thats why flogs like mcclure are talking hogan out nd may in. Freo would need something serious to happen from the hogan camp to give up 2 high picks. It makes more sense to wait until next yr when hogans uncontracted. Freo and hogan have the power in these negotiations is all im trying to say. The power is with the players

Oh dear

I understsnd the rules My point is players have the freedom to move as they please. The current rules allow clubs to dig their heels in but whats the point when a player is then uncontracted next yr and its easier for them to leave to their clibof choice. Ie tim.kelly and jesse

And so are uncorrected players. Im not sure what your point is.... you're arguing technicallites in the rules ie unrestricted, restricted, uncontested but you've missed the fact that regardless of a players contract status under the current rules the majority get to where they want to go in contact or not Im keepimg teack of the Tim Kelly situation to confirm all the power lies with the players and fa no matter what categoriy you technically sit in fa is alive and well in the afl. It will be interesting to see if the afl have the balls to address the imbalance and let clubs trade players before they are fas. Ie the hogan situation, sheil etc to maximise value

Gc didn't with Lynch.

Restricted or unrestricted or unsigned, who cares. We all know where the power lies.... agents and players

Yerp i agree. Why do all this 9f there was no interest. Thats why i believe @Chook in Perth and thank him for his info. I also know Jesses manager and himself would have discussed the potential trade a long time ago. Thats different then coming to terms but it would have been planned a while ago
