I just told him how amazing Jesse is and that he should just do the deal and leave the thinking to those better qualified for it.

I have already done it and told him what I think. 

I think Melbourne will happily trade Jesse to West Coast in a year’s time. We will get proper compensation them. This was just about getting a fair deal. I think Jesse will be looked after and won’t begrudge the club a fair deal for losing him.

That is what I was hoping would happen. Freo have cut their nose off to spite their face. West Coast will now almost certainly win another flag with Hogan up forward and Freo have no one to blame but themselves. 

SEN suggesting that 11 & a Future First might be the best Freo offer. 

I think Hogan will stay. Why would he want to give up on a top 4 side? 

Not that difficult to pick between 5 clubs in total. 

Steven May sounds flaky. Do we really want him? 

Menzel kicked 27 goals this season. That is pretty good. Better than Garlett. 

I can't see why Daniel Menzel would be a risk on a short term contract. He could really improve the versatility of our forward line.

That YOU don’t 

Actually I was using Inclusive Language to imply that the majority view appears to be an under appreciation of May. I personally believe that he will be an excellent addition to our squad. 

Goodwin played defence so I guess that he must see something in May that we don't. 

I would take him back but his penance for what he did to Jimmy is that he cleans the team boots for a whole year.

Maybe Freo are Hogan’s second team. Some people have a second team.

Well. You wear the scarf, then you are a supporter. I would not wear another team’s scarf.

And some idiot had a go at me about Hogan not being a Freo fan and there is a photo of him as a kid wearing their scarf. I knew I was right. 

Looking at Garlett's 2017 highlights, we would have been a better team if he had been up to scratch this year. Add Hogan and McDonald and we would have been deadly up forward. 

Can we afford to pay him 1 million a season? Would that kind of figure keep him? Given that we are in a Premiership windrow. 

Hogan will not go to West Coast. He was a die hard Docker as a youth, that I believe is a large part of his motivation for going there. Look at how much Harmes loves us. Same thing! 

Do we believe the guy in the Harrison Petty thread, who claims that he know Steven May and he is off to Collingwood. 

Interesting that we are the only team in the AFL not to have a player banned this season. Surely that should be a factor in the Brownlow. We are certainly a fair team. 

The Optus Oval staff over watered the grass. The Weagles knew and wore longer studs. We wore what we had for training and kept slipping. It is blatant cheating by The Eagles supporting staff but probably not actionable. The AFL should investigate though. 

No point dwelling on the negatives. We can't change the past. As a club we draw out the positives and work on our strengths and weaknesses, to improve them. Hopefully, this season will encourage the very best players to want to come to us during the trade period so that our list can evolve. 

I prefer the Pies to the Tigers. I think we have a good chance of beating Collingwood but we need to play well against WC. The bye might hurt the Eagles. 

Richmond started to believe all that crap that the media were writing about them. They are not a patch on the three peat Hawks and Cats.
