Some remarkably smug West Coast fans in this thread considering they traded away their future for 13 disposals in an Elimination final.
hahaha wow did Freo totally ******* destroy this guy
pick 54, cop that Peter Bell you dick
Meh We took a risk and it didnt pay off. Same with Harely Bennell...Pretty good deal for Hogan. And Freo footing some of the bill helps to. Worth a crack to see if he can recapture the form.
has been a disaster of a move for Freo though.
It's not gonna set us back at all despite people calling this a disaster move. Hogan didn't improve the team or make a big difference, so I highly doubt it's going to effect anything going forward.Meh We took a risk and it didnt pay off. Same with Harely Bennell...
As I said in the 2018 trade Period. I was happy getting both Lobb and Hogan.
But Lobb was a better pick up than hogan looking back now. Lobb can play ruck and Forward. Lobb doesnt do any stupid things off field as well.
Disappointed it didnt work out in the end For freo.
Saying that...... I would be very suprised this set back freo for 5-10 years. The dockers playing squad is reasonably good.
The question is, had Freo Kept pick 6, would they still of got Ben KingIt's funny how it works out, that pick 6 that Freo traded out eventually made its way to the Suns for Ben King.PLAYERCARDSTART34Ben King

If trading your future away to get one week further in the season then Freo is your jam then kudos to you my friend.FWIW, that’s more than your whole team in any final in the last five years...

Josh CarrCan't argue with this.
It greatly surpasses other legendary trades that didn't work out in the long-term such as Bennell and McCarthy or those that had short-lived benefits like Croad and J.Carr before returning to where they came from.
Freo sure do have an unfortunate talent for botching a trade
No current season stats available
Youre the type of fella that says "see you next year" on new years eve.It's funny how it works out, that pick 6 that Freo traded out eventually made its way to the Suns for Ben King.PLAYERCARDSTART34Ben King

Just interesting in hindsight how it worked out, don't know why you have bristled so much?Shipped off for a very late pick.

It would be the ultimate if he landed back at the Dees...Could turn out even worse if Ben Kingrequest to trade back to Victoria. Never trust pick 6 in AFL draft.PLAYERCARDSTART34Ben King

That's a fair call there. Happy to cop that.To be fair, Freo fans have a right to feel a little bruised over the Hogan fiasco.
With the benifit of hindsight, you can now see why the Dees were so keen to help him on his way back to WA.
I can't get over his lawyers statement about the isolation breach being down to good looking young rooster thats been locked up for 6 months just needed a root. Must make the lovely young lady feel special...
Sorry, definately an overreaction. It was likely the 10th time I've read a similar post, but highly unlikely you have read most of the thread since it isn't about your club.Just interesting in hindsight how it worked out, don't know why you have bristled so much?
To be fair my mob have made some absolutely horrendous trades in hindsight as well.
Win some, lose some.Disappointed it didnt work out in the end For freo.
Saying that...... I would be very suprised this set back freo for 5-10 years. The dockers playing squad is reasonably good.
If trading your future away to get one week further in the season then Freo is your jam then kudos to you my friend.
We traded in Geelongs best player for our future, it’s not like we traded out a future Brownlow medallist for pick 54 or anythingIf trading your future away to get one week further in the season then Freo is your jam then kudos to you my friend.
