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

[youmewe]

Trade values Hogan at 2476 points.

#2 has a notional value of 2517 points.

I think the deal is pretty fair slightly in front of Frem not by much tho. like said before everyone goes on about 2 1st rounders but forget the fact normally a 2nd rounder going back the other way, we get a good end 1st pick and a early 2nd with only a 4th going back.

 

[Sprout]

Flag ready backline there. Defensive quality and some good ball movers. IF you forget about the price paid and think of it as a player swap, Hogan for May, Melbourne have done just fine.

It's better than that though. It should be May, KK and pick 23 for Hogan.

I'm a bit perplexed by the over the top reactions.

 

[Lach72]

Maybe we can get Peter Bell to talk to Geelong for us?

Sure...Kelly for pick 14?

 

[Moo]

Did we really though? The goal was to get May... i think a lot of people in Victoria are forgetting or dont know how good a KPD he really is.

You did what you needed to do, you'll be a better flag chance with May even though Hogan may be an overall better player.

At the end of the day win a flag and it's all worth it.

 

[The wily weagle]

It actually not a terrible deal by Melbourne

Gain May, lose Hogan. Its probably as it stands a slight loss for Melbourne, but if Jesse continues to have issues with his foot the demons are laughing

 

[Unique Name]

I think both teams benefit from this.

 

[Marc_Remillard]

I think both teams benefit from this.

yeah, i agree. It's good for Hogan as well

 

[Mr Fonebone]

The best deals are the ones that benefit both parties. This is one of those cases.

All the dick-measuring on these threads is somewhat ridiculous.

 

[Jibroni]

Our backline will go to another level next year which gives us a chance for the big prize.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Ross won’t be happy
Less excuses to fall back on

 

[J Freeloader]

Well done Freo. Sad to see him go but hopefully for Hoges this move makes him happy. Blokes been through alot the last year.

 

[CakeEater]

Its amazing what happens when you let good cobblers do the cobbling.

You end up with new and improved shoes.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Freo have smashed this trade period.

Questions need to be asked at Melbourne

 

[Jordie_tackles]

People can say what they want about Hogan and his attitude ect.

But trust me Freo he will be amazing, and could hit Pav levels of quality for you guys, he is the forward you have craved for 5 years or more!

 

[The Joker]

We had to wait 10 days for this

Also lol @ Karl Langdon who said Hogan wouldn't be at Freo

He is letting go ATM

 

[2006_Eagles]

Langdon salty

Questions are being asked... like why would any club want Dom Tyson?

We figured out which player on the market we wanted most, and we got him.

If only North could do the same.

 

[WilloTree]

Don't really get the Melbourne fans anger at this trade. I understand disappointment on losing a gun player but the fact remains he is damaged goods with that foot issue and you were never going to get two top 10 picks.

Plus the upside of having May means a back 6 of:

FB: Lever - May - Jetta
HB: Hibberd - Frost - Salem

and kolodjashnij

 

[silverscope]

If it's May, KK and 23 then that's a pass mark.

Not every deal has to be hit out of the park or an absolute disaster.

Wait, what am I saying? It's Bigfooty. Of course it does.

In isolation this trade favors Fremantle but overall for the trade period both Fremantle and Melbourne have improved their lists. Win/Win

 

[The Joker]

Freo to win the flag next year

Finally someone with a clue...

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I could ask the same of you giving a vfl ruckman 4 years.

We figured out which player on the market we wanted most, and we got him.

There, there.

We missed one, the same one you missed out on.

It's folly to just look at the trade in isolation. It's about the net outcome.

Agree that both parties would come out happy with this. A few clueless supporters aren't but what can you do.
