I really want this to happen. Obviously for the right price and right circumstances.
Anyone see this trade actually happening? Or with us 'walking away' do you think that it's over?
McPharlin said on multiple occasions that the program our sports science people put him on saved his career because he couldn't get on the park due to repetitive soft tissue injuries. No idea what you're referring to with Sonny, neither Sandi. The fact we've got as many games out of Sandi - the tallest and heaviest player in AFL history that we stuck on a plane every fortnight - goes to show how good our team has been.
Bennell is a unique case and the club has thrown literally everything it can at trying to get him right. If there was damage done in long term injury management, it was during his initial injuries at Gold Coast.
I'm interested in AFL the game and all that goes with it .
Too limit myself to just Ports part in it, to me myopic . More so trade time when trades impact well outside the immediate level .
I never ever go into a discussion where it is stated by originator for XYZ supporters only .
Did I put foot into Freo , no .

16 and next year 3rd round should do it for a player who wants out !!October 2nd: https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/a...od-trade-return-for-jesse-hogan-ng-b88979227z
“We think he’s going to be right up at the highest that anyone has been traded for and we think that Fremantle have that opportunity with some picks that they may gain.” - Josh Mahoney (clearly going after picks 5 and 6).

*"anonymous/not named" club source so take it with a grain of salt.
"the Demons’ demands on Hogan were at least two first rounders"
October 12th a few hours later: http://aflnation.com.au/2018/10/12/fremantle-miss-trick-not-including-pick-six-hogan-deal/
*"anonymous/not named" club source so again take it with a grain of salt.
"Melbourne would have accepted pick six and a future second round pick in a deal to send Jesse Hogan to Fremantle?" (no longer 2 first rounders)
Pick 6 and a future second isn't close to the "highest that anyone has been traded for" so this was clearly not Melbourne's stating point. Add in the quote from before the start of the trade week and it's clear they where going after 5 and 6 to begin with. Also concerning freo's offer, pick 6 and a 2019 2nd verses pick 11 and a 2019 2nd isn't that big of a difference (a difference equivalent to pick 41). Melbourne's flip flopping on Hogan's worth is clearly sus (from 5 and 6 to 2 first round picks to 6 and a second), add in his injury history, personal problems and Melbourne's want for May and I think Bell made the right decision in telling them to GAGF.
Also if Neale is only worth Pick 5, Hogan is worth pick 11 by itself. Neale is 2 years older, which is to say age is not a major factor. Comparatively, by Hogan's age Neale had won a b&f, broken the AFL record for disposals in a season and won the geoff christian medal (best WC/Freo player). Since then Neale has proven to be one of the most consistent players in the AFL, won more awards (second b&f and geoff christian medal) and proven his capabilities as a leader of a club. Hogan has no such accomplishments and also carries foot, personal, attitude and cancer issues. No way in hell Hogan is worth more than Neale.
Pick 11 and a 2019 2nd is more than reasonable and probably more than Hogan is actually worth.
Not really going to 100% subscribe to this.
Melbourne have put a ridiculous price on his head.
& I do not know what is more sad on 3 key points
I - Melbourne shopping him to make room in the salary cap
II - Freo the only potential customer sniffing because of Hogans well known love for the club
III - No one else has showed a skirret of interest .
we have no reason to move on this
If that was so you would have engaged in other parts of this conversation instead of 'randomly' having a go at a female member because she acknowledged a WCE supporter who wasn't obnoxious or arrogant in a post about Freo. This was never about YOU.
I think it’s still possible.
We should do our very best to get Lobb through on Monday and you would think if Hogan has any chance of coming it would be done by Tuesday or early Wednesday as Melb would then need turn their attention to May and get him through.
Will the dees cave on the 11 & 23 deal? I think it’s possible!
Or, at least from a middle ground.It looks like the weekend will take the heat out of the Hogan situation for FFC.
If GC and Melbourne have been talking about a straight swap Hogan for May, then it's no longer "Jesse wants to go home and we're doing the right thing to help". It's "we want May and Jesse is expendable so that we can get what we want".
The shrill commentary painting us as the villian has now been moderated by some alternative views pointing out the risks to Freo and that Melbourne have their own agenda too.
Kudos to Mr Bell and the Silver Fox for pulling back from what was becoming a toxic deal. Melbourne can still deal with us, but it will be on our terms.
Your comments on here have contributed nothingNever noticed gender until you bought it up , to me doesn't make a difference .
Glad you know more about my intentions than I do, quite a talent

AFL is all controlling but in these circumstances they are just mediators, there is nothing to mediate here as we are no longer interested in hogan, Melbourne have royall stuffed up here its an embarrassment thats why all the mel supporters are so emotional.From the Melbourne board. Hmmmm
Probably crap, but I have always wondered if the AFL ever step in when such a media hogging high profile trade is involved
