Fremantle put Hogan and Blakely on the trade table

Jesse Hogan is officially on the trade table with Fremantle telling rival clubs that they are open to offloading the contracted key forward next month.

What's our interest in Blakely?

 

[Hamingja]

LOL at GWS getting a stiffy for Simmo after his two finals. Shiny new toy syndrome.

Surely none of our fringe young guys would want to be traded up there anyway given the high draft picks that don't play up there atm and are wanting out.

Hopefully zero

Not even Freo supporters want him. Terrible kick and slow

 

[Down at K Park]

Chook or Narkle would have to be the trade bait. They might actually want to leave. Doubt anyone else would.

LOL if they think a father/son like Simpson is going to go. Morons for even suggesting it.

 

[Strange Cat]

Interesting article, only problem is that Fremantle don't have pick 7 - that's Carltons pick

So while Fremantle may be happy trading pick 7 for Clark, not sure Carlton will agree

Really curious as to why journalists can't get even the basics right

I can’t see the club trading away Simpson considering his form this final series

GWS can also for whoever they want I just can’t see the club agreeing to trading out any kids that will be a part of our best 22 next year

 

[Wojcinski]

Are you all there? That's my point. We have had to pay overs in dollar terms, for Williams to get him for "free". You have to pay a price for a free agent. Either overs in dollars so opposition can't/won't match or you trade. Geelong don't pay overs in dollars so you trade. Which is fine but it's something you need to get your head around.

Are you all there? Why are you pretending to know the dollar value of the contracts?

Correct imo.

Always the issue with requesting players, the players have to actually want to go there.

 

[Turbocat]

I think he can make it as a ruck but i get your doubts. We would have to bring in another afl ready ruck though if we trade him.

decide to draft a kid for starters.. and then workout how much coverage we need...unless you think we can trade in a Stanley replacement. Im not see a lot which is obviously better than Fort

It's not only GWS that are chasing Simpson, the Dogs are going hard for him again. They've been keen for a while.

very good that we have backed out of Crouch then

trust our own guys and keep a good pick or two.

On what basis would he consider it, though? Just won his place back in the team for three cut-throat finals, after holding his spot over several weeks earlier in the season until injury intervened.

Clearly now considered 'best 22', and playing in a GF in just a few days. That's before you even consider the family affiliation.

Surely him leaving at this point is a bigger non-starter than us against the Dees in the 2018 EF.

The saltiness on social media has gone to another level since the news about Cameron broke opting out of GWS for Geelong.

This one?

I can PM it to you.

The melts from opposition supporters are epic on that HS article. Salty AF.

A long hefty contract may raise his eyebrows

It's a weird world. On the Freo board there seems to be a belief that they will get Narkle for free, i.e. as a delisted player. If that happens I'll eat my scarf.

 

[strauchnyy]

Need to keep at least 11 or 13 for ourselves

And it's probably just luck that we have cooled on Crouch after his little problem, so Simpson can hope to be in the team next year.

If I were in Simpson's shoes, or at least his manager's, I would be at least having a look. All very well for the Cats to talk about how much they value loyalty - and we know that in some cases they do (Hyphen) - but it's a two-way street that gets a little crowded. When you're linked to so many possible incomings it's bound to have the managers of any of Fogarty, Narkle, Constable, Clark and those even further behind them talking to other clubs. In fact, probably negligent if they don't.

My contact (a family friend) said he loves Geelong and doesn't want to leave (could have for more money at the Dogs) but he's still unsigned and in the negotiating stage.

Dogs are sniffing around again.

He's a very loyal kid and wants to forge a career at the Cats. At the end of the day money does talk if it's substantial enough.

One would think he would get a good tickle now.

I simply read the main board for that.

On a serious note, he just might.

Turbo said the same. About the money, that is. Just can't see it myself. Can they really afford to offer a really massive deal to a kid off the rookie list who's played 14 games? I would have thought we can get the deal close enough that he doesn't need to chase a huge dollar difference.

Hopefully being a premiership player might factor into his decision soon enough as well.

well if they do splash cash at him and he does go... Bont is a FA soon

If we don't offer him a contract (and reports are we haven't at this stage) then he'd become a delisted FA and could go to them for free

With all of the uncertainty it’s not surprising that a number of players remain unsigned. For starters there’s the TPP and list spot uncertainty. Then there’s who is incoming. There will be several players waiting for some time yet before they get a contract offer. That’s the peril of being on the fringe.
