If you go back and click that link again there's nothing in it about Hogan at all now. Me thinks someone has fibbed and it's still on like Donkey Kong.

We’re constrained with what we can offer without the Hogan trade happening, no doubt. However, that saying of whenever a player elects their club they wish to play for, they usually get their wish. I can only imagine we’re gonna have to cough up a decent player as well as picks.

Why do people post these statements without supporting evidence?

I was carrying on with the lyrics mate - as apt as they are.

Pass the spliff. You're hogging it by the sounds of it.

This conversation has run dry.

I really hope that's not true and it's just you paraphrasing in an abrupt manner. Would like to think the club operates with a little more finesse than that. Hogan 'torn' I do believe.

To be fair there was pretty slim pickings after Pav retired. My mail off a credible WA media personality is that the players aren't 'connecting' to Fyfes style.

Not as approachable as other players would like is the main criticism I hear. Too much of a different cat to be a 'teammate' off-field.

It is but if you can't see what Peter Bell is trying to do I suggest you looker harder. Bell trying to keep Lachie Neale because Neale thinks the club is a shambles. Bell taking the broom to the club and removing any 'iffy' components of bad culture. Bye bye Harley B. Nat Fyfe is a questionable Captain - ask any Freo supporter. Ross the boss has zero credits in the bank. I expect he won't see out the year as head coach. Peter Bell might seem like a bit of a [censored] but the Freo faithful love him to bits and he will repay that faith.

Not fact, just another opinion really. I’m keen to know if a medical was completed.

Can someone clarify what actually happened when Hogan toured Cockburn? It was four hours long but there has been some reports that have mentioned a ‘medical’ taking place amongst it. I would imagine that given Hogan’s Navicular diagnosis, Freo would get any updated scans done and also request from MFC the injury history (or is it all on them to deduce the status) before coming back to MFC with any confirmed interest. I’ve got an unnerving feeling that Hogan’s foot injury is the bottleneck in trade negotiations at the moment.

I’m a little surprised it took the Melbourne media 18 hours to confirm he was staying out at the Eagles.

Just checked Eagles forum and they heard the same report on ch7 that he is staying.

I’m gonna add that the handbrake told me that’s what she heard so it is second hand news. The latest from the west Aus rag. https://thewest.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/afl-free-agency-2018-andrew-gaff-reportedly-leaning-toward-staying-with-west-coast-eagles-ng-b88983410z

I doubt 7 would go with it otherwise but you never know.

Channel 7 Perth just broke the news that Gaff is remaining at the Eagles.

“The AFL is also set to announce in the coming weeks that Melbourne will continue to host matches in Darwin and Alice Springs.” http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-06/territory-explores-potential-bid-for-afl-team

And I thought I wasted time on here. Bravo.

I’m not trying to rattle you mate. I don’t mind the abrasive nature of some of your posts as it just adds another layer of difference to this forum which can at times become a merry go round as evidenced by this thread. But, there is a thing called hypocrisy that you may be familiar with. It exists quite a lot on this forum with some posters potting away at others and throwing barbs that actually add SFA value to the conversation but at the same time thinking they are. I get that you sometimes are fed up with the “hysterical nature” of this site which is your perception and that’s fine. I get bored reading it to be honest but it does seem to be your one wood in a golf bag that only carries a few clubs. And by the way, it’s ‘you’re’ not your. Keep posting big fella.

Considering you keep coming back for more is a bit worrying with the analogy you’ve used.

You know when you don’t watch a soapie for several months but then just watch two episodes and you’re all caught up?

Because Melbourne thinks we’re being stupid and doesn’t want to lower themselves to our state of ineptitude.

Or, we just accept their pick 5 and next years first and future trade next years freo’s first and this years second rounder for May.
