I’d argue that’s a better deal than 5&11 i can’t see the dockers finishing 9th or higher even with hogan and lobb. And they could go backwards and we end up with 2 top 5 picks

We need to be really firm with the dockers and back it up. If the deal gets any worse than 5&11 I think it may be time to say sorry Jesse the dockers won’t play ball.

Sam McClure has no idea. I think he’s drastically underestimating the quality of Jesse hogan. He could be just about anything. Hes clearly worth 2 first round picks.

I agree completely. We pay overs that trade but win overall.

Pick 11 33 and 2019 first rounder for may and Kolo? so effectively it’s 11, 16-18 and 33 its possibly overs but if we bring in May and keep 5 I am okay with that

5&10 for hogan 22 for lobb everyone wins.

I’ve heard from a source I trust very much that Fremantle have been an absolute nightmare for Brisbane to deal with in the lachie Neale trade. I can only imagine that’s been the same with the hogan situation. They’re asking massive overs from Brisbane and keep saying he’s contracted. I hope we do the same!

Bet bazil is loving life right now.

Jay Clark reporting he’s past his medical/freo are satisfied with the state of his foot. It’s not just down to finding a trade dees won’t budge on 2 first rounders. Nor should they.

Freo know they can’t afford to let this opportunity to sign hogan slip because they may not get another one. They also need to sign a big fish to stop members from jumping ship and lobb doesn’t cut it. They will buckle if we hold our nerve. They want hogan more than they want their 2 picks. No doubt in my mind.

Potential delisted free agent

I don’t blame them for prioritising the guy who absolutely wants to go there over the guy who can’t make up his mind. I’m sure if hogan declares his intentions that’ll change very quickly

would you accept pick 5, Darcy tucker and Ed Langdon for hogan? A mate put that idea to me and I don’t mind it simply because we have lost a good amount of our depth. May fills the key defensive need and tucker and Langdon are good enough to challenge strongly for a place in our best 22

He just guesses.

Nah I can’t see it. I think it’ll definitely be 5 and the compromise may be a player or a future pick.

You’re saying exactly what I was dazzle. Any medical would not include a physical component because he’s injured, so they’re going off new and old scans and they had the results before they entered trade negotiations with Melbourne. Is why I think that component of the story is BS

The dockers chatted to Melbourne about a potential trade on Monday. Surely if they were out they would have said so then... it’s shady.

Let’s be clear. Jesse didn’t do a medical test while at dockers HQ because he’s still not allowed to run. He may have had additional scans done. But I think this is all BS

I doubt very much they haven’t said anything it’s just not public yet. I don’t think freo and the dees enter trade negotiations without at least an incredibly strong indication. Trade week is too short to waste time

Officially yes, but it goes on basically 24/7 especially at this time of year in one way or another.

I do wonder if we may look to trade picks to get the swans first pick and do the trade regardless of hogan. Would be amazing to get May into the club and grab a couple of top 10 picks as well for Jesse.

Wasn’t even in the best 3 mids at the giants. Kelly, coniglio and ward all ahead of him and in my opinion a fully fit Scully is as well.

Well I think Melbourne have unintentionally shown their hand by publicly admitting we can’t sign may without hogan leaving and now freo are trying to make us panic into thinking we won’t get the deal we want for hogan and miss out on May. If the club stay firm I believe freo will give us the two top 10 picks

It’s interesting isn’t it. All these rumours of these potential long term issues only come up when freo are trying to negotiate down the trade value. His foot or any other issues didn’t stop us wanting to lock him up long term or freo offering him big $$ to come home or then Getting him to come do a 4 hour tour. I just think the dockers are leaking little rumours to the press to try and knock his trade value down. And I hope the club sees through it. I think some of these rumours may hold some truth but if they were legitimate it wouldn’t have gotten this far. The dockers wouldn’t make the offer without doing due diligence on all aspects of jesses situation

Correct. I know of 4 definitely keen and 2 that potentially. So there is a market for him.
