Traded Jesse Hogan [traded with #65 to Fremantle for #6 and #23]

[Quokka]

For what is worth Harley Bennell was said to have passed his medical as well. Doesn't necessarily mean it's an all clear stamp , no risk.

 

[dee64]

Karl "West Coast Eagles" Langdon tweeted that the Hogan deal was dangerous for Freo and he hoped they'd learnt from previous errors in taking players with "issues"

Wonder what it was that he meant.

Lol, just after they re-signed Bennell.

Langdon has been spreading rumours that Hogan was returning to Freo for the past 4 years. The bloke is an uninformed moron.

 

[Coach_Required]

Right... except Freo aren't allowed to do that. Surely Barrett being the fantastic investigative journalist that he is, can illegally dig up Jesse's medical history and illegally distribute it himself.

You can say he didnt pass your medical, im pretty sure. Richmond did it with Trengrove

 

[Freoforever86]

5 and 23 are the reports

We don’t have 5

 

[Illeagle]

Some rumours are that he likes to party. No idea if they are true.

But they did make an offer yesterday, so he can't be that bad. Or is it ok to waste a pick 11 on someone who wants to party, but not a top ten pick?

 

[Allikat]

You can say he didnt pass your medical, im pretty sure. Richmond did it with Trengrove

Melbourne released the info on Trengrove

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I wonder if this is just bluff from Freo to try and get Melbourne to accept their low ball offer.

 

[Freoforever86]

With pick 24. Not exactly the same is it.

It is if that’s a pick we eyed off to use in hogan deal

 

[Coach_Required]

Can't help but wonder if this is one of those times the reaction is more informed by people's impression of the club than the actual facts of the matter.

You are probably bang on but we are talking about a team who have had 1 decent key forward in the past 25 years.

 

[The Joker]

This is how it's done, so mash away bigfooty...

 

[nurries]

We don’t have 5

Exactly why we offered 11 and probably the equivalent of pick 20-24

 

[youbeautfyfe]

Some rumours are that he likes to party. No idea if they are true.

Yeah I've seen him at a couple of WA festivals in the off season this year off his absolute nutter. Asked him if he had any more dingoes on him, he didn't

 

[Quokka]

Lol, just after they re-signed Bennell.

Langdon has been spreading rumours that Hogan was returning to Freo for the past 4 years. The bloke is an uninformed moron.

And now Bell is openly trying to keep Neale and get Bennell out. Change of policy at the club?

**** all idea on Hogan rumours though, never met the guy.

 

[bird_man]

We don’t have 5

Only by choice. You could have it quite easily.

Gotta give up something to get something.

 

[Chaisa]

So two things are likely here:

1) They’re bluffing. Melbourne want May, Brisbane want Neale. This allows them to play hardball with Brisbane and brings Collingwood back in it for May. So Melbourne now take less for Hogan so May gets done, and keeps Brisbane guessing.

2) Fremantle’s offer was final. This is either because:

1) Freo are the new Essendon and try to be hard men. In which case lol.
2) Hogan’s medical wasn’t quite right. They did say he passed it but maybe it was a qualified pass and the navicular is more troublesome than it might overwise appear. In that case the deal might be off.

My original guess was #1, but if what Barrett is saying is true (hint: it might not be) then we start to think 2. In that case we’ll be seeing who’s laughing in a couple of years time.

 

[RUNVS]

This is Fremantle's Operation Barbarossa.

 

[Freoforever86]

If his foot injury was such a problem, Fremantle wouldn't even be offering pick 11, or a very expensive contract. Even Jack Trengove who was hit hard by a navicular fracture, managed to return and play more or less the same level of football he was playing pre-injury.

Freo just dicked around, Dodoro-style, and desperately want to keep the pick 5 they're getting from us. They are going to regret it.

Barrett now reporting Melbourne never asked for two first rounders, and were happy with 5 and 23. What an embarrassment for Fremantle.

Brisbane fans are way too invested in this hahaha

 

[Tom14]

It is if that’s a pick we eyed off to use in hogan deal

West australian reported that you refused 5 and 24. Melbourne wanted 5 and 23 - could have got Neale for Hogan which I think is a great deal.

 

[Freoforever86]

Only by choice. You could have it quite easily.

Gotta give up something to get something.

Yeah and we haven’t got what we want from Brisbane yet. Sound familiar? Or is it only Melbourne thts allowed to say no to a deal?

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Hogan was an Adelaide Crows supporter growing up

Freo have ballsed this trade period up so badly

Didn't he have Dockers scarf on, on draft day.

 

[Suma Magic]

Yeah I've seen him at a couple of WA festivals in the off season this year off his absolute nutter. Asked him if he had any more dingoes on him, he didn't

We both know that he definitely had a few more...

 

[freofc1994]

If what Barrett is saying now is fact (stop s******ing at the back please) that Melbourne would've done it for 5/23 when in fact they've been claiming it's worth 2 top 10 picks then this is going to get done.

 

[Freoforever86]

West australian reported that you refused 5 and 24. Melbourne wanted 5 and 23 - could have got Neale for Hogan which I think is a great deal.

And when we get 5, maybe we will go back and offer that? Can’t offer what we don’t have

 

[dazzledavey36]

Haha Freo!

Pathetic excuse of a footy club and a Laughing stock of the nation right now!

And who the **** is Cox??

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

You can say he didnt pass your medical, im pretty sure. Richmond did it with Trengrove

Nope. We announced it, presumably with Trengove’s consent in the vein of announcing that any player needs surgery. Richmond then followed up with their own statement.
