Jaded No More

Yeah but lets be honest, Gold Coast wouldn't be counting on this pick being inside the top 10, and hence won't accept it. I just can't see how this will end up happening for us now. Such a bloody shame!

Get ready for backline duties Hogan. We all know you're not interested in staying at this club, so while you're forced to be here, do us a favour, serve a purpose, get us a flag, then go to West Coast.

Wait, he's not a free agent next year? Hahaha gold. So they lost pick 6 and Hogan. Geniuses.

3 things: 1. Freo have been chasing Hogan around like a pathetic ex boyfriend. Jesse finally agrees to go to them, and they cower in a corner like the piece of garbage club that they are 2. How does Hogan and the club feel about this? How does he go playing for a club next year he doesn't really want to be at? 3. How do we get May now? Have we missed the boat?

Finally, some facts in this shitshow of a thread/trade

All this does is give them the ability to keep Kelly and Weitfield which is bad for us. Scully [censored] us again!

With West Coast winning yet another flag, the Freo being a massive letdown yet again, the pressure on Freo to perform is enormous. Kennedy is on last legs, and Nic Nat is injury prone. If Freo don't jump at this now, West Coast will steal their thunder next year. If I'm Jesse I know which team I rather play for in Perth. Freo need this, and they need this now. They can't continue to be a pathetic laughing joke. Lyon's job is on the line. They'll cave, unless of course Hogan's foot is a big worry.

I love a trade where both supporter groups get to [censored] and moan haha It's a classic win win trade. And we now have two picks in the 60s which we can use to upgrade a rookie or take a punt on a mature age recruit.

Thank you Dom for coming to us when we were a garbage basket case and helping lift our midfield from VFL to AFL level. Wishing him all the best. I reckon he will be very good for North, which is upsetting as I hate North and don't want to see them improve.

Welcome and thank you for extending Gawn's footballing life by 4-5 years.

I already told my partner that we are having two wedding cakes. A traditional one and a cheese one. The cheese one will be adorned by red and blue ribbons.

Rubbish trade but nobody else wanted him and he was not contracted. A lot of wasted development for pick 65.

Enjoy mediocrity forever Freo.

And this is why Freo is a joke of a club and have had no success ever. Get over yourselves and get moving or you’ll end up with nothing.

Me too. It’s gonna be Lever 2.0 I wonder if we bundle KK in that pick 5 trade. Maybe 5 for May and KK? And some late pick swaps?

I've never wanted him to go, while I thought he was committed to the club. Now it is clear that he is not committed, so I want him gone. There is no point holding onto even the best players, if they are not firmly embedded in what you are trying to achieve. If Hogan signs a 4 year extension and stays, and doesn't umms and errs about his future every year, I would be thrilled. But he has never done that, and we now have a chance to trade him to significantly better our list. It's time to go.

I want him gone. I want May. I don’t want another will he won’t he year. I don’t want a player who isn’t all in. I want to improve our list and he feels surplus to our needs. He isn’t committed to us. He needs to leave. We have supported him for years. Gave him everything we could. He clearly isn’t interested, not even now that we are on the verge of serious success. He’s gotta go.

Great news and well done to him. Must have been a very hard choice. Just goes to show the quality of the person he is. Well done Vanders!

If Hogan ends up staying, he better sign a long term deal. If this is just him going “yeah nah I’m gonna wait until next year to go to West Coast”, I would be incredibly [censored]. The worst case scenario is that his foot is stuffed. Such a Melbourne thing to happen.

Are we at 200 yet?

I tried. I can’t imagine the truth is worse than what I’ve made up in my own mind from watching his insta stories.

But can’t commit.

Hmmmm DM?

I really hope we can keep him, but understand his position. Must be a terribly tough decision to make. Family always comes first I suppose.

All the money in the world. Still can’t buy a win.
