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

[Bunk Moreland]

A bombshell is about to hit the lead-up to the AFL trade period with star Melbourne forward Jesse Hogan set to play with Fremantle next year if the Dockers are successful in their multimillion-dollar bid to lure the West Australian home.

The Dockers have been chasing Hogan for years, but The Australian understands they believe they have a realistic chance of recruiting him in next month’s player-exchange period, which officially starts on Monday week.

Trading Hogan, 23, could also work for the Demons as the stunning development could help them land Gold Coast captain and key defender Steven May, who has another year of his contract remaining.

It is understood Melbourne are prepared to consider sacrificing Hogan for May after their glaring deficiency in defence against West Coast in last Saturday’s 11-goal preliminary final defeat, even with top backman Jake Lever expected back early next season from a knee reconstruction.

Huge mistake by Melbourne imo if true.

Hogan is an extreme talent. Key backs are valuable, but not as hard to come by.

 

[Joao]

Click bait.

Another year and so the Hogan to Frem rumour starts again, Now i know how Frem supporters feel when ever year they had to go through this with Pavlich

 

[Tulip]

It would be a genuine bombshell if this story didn't appear around late September, every September.

 

[Dez!]

Melbourne says no.
Hogan says no.
Hogan's manager says no.

*Insert paper here* believes Freo is a massive chance to land Hogan.

Every f***ing year.

This rumor just gets old.

Would be stupid for Hogan to leave a young, top tier to go to an old team about to lose one of its best players

We're not exactly old. Sandilands is, but there's Darcy ready to go.

Mundy is, but he's still playing well.

Ballas is... and he's a crab.

Take those 3 guys out we then have Fyfe and Stephen Hill at 27. Everyone else is younger than those 2.

What you should've said is - Would be stupid for Hogan to leave a young, top tier to go to a Lyon coached, defensive teams about to lose one of its best players due to rifts with Fyfe and others.

Are they saying Melbourne trade Hogan for May? There would surely have to be more coming back to Melbourne.

 

[Quokka]

Hogan to Fremantle rumour, yep must be Tuesday.

 

[VanDemonxx]

Hahahahahaha

 

[andreww90]

Can hogan plz just sign a ten year contract with the Demons so this stops coming up every year

Him being contracted doesn't matter, they'll still trot this story out yearly.

 

[Stronzo]

Maybe it will come true this time.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Melbourne play better without him anyway. Should offload him

 

[Scythe]

Hogan trade talks? Must be time to change my smoke alarm batteries.

Yeah I didn't actually mean to put old in there

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Hogan's foot issue may be worse than thought. Do not want another injured recruit a la Bennell or Gumby

 

[HolyRioli]

Only comes up every year because Freo are genuinely having a dip every year

 

[markm106]

It’s taken longer than usual for the media to ramp up the Hogan to Freo rumours this year. Perhaps as we played finals.

I’d be surprised and disappointed if we trade Hogan if he’s willing to stay.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Can WA produce a different ****ing key forward talent ASAP so Fremantle can go pester another club instead? Or even better, can Freo draft them in the first instance?

 

[DanWA]

It just doesn't make sense for Melbourne to lose him

It makes absolute sense for Freo to want him

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

An article in a News Limited publication quotes an earlier article in another News Limited publication as evidence this is happening. Being an AFL trade journalist must be the easiest job in the world.

 

[RoversFC]

If he does come to WA, it’s to the Eagles. Need someone to take over Kennedy .

 

[Farm Boy]

So we are to believe that Melbourne are going to offload the pick they get for Hogan, onto GC, in exchange for May? At least when the media make up rumors could they at least come up with a realistic trade scenario? There is a 3 year gulf between these guys (favoring Hogan). Hogan was twice the player May was this year, Hogan has twice the talent May has, and Hogan plays a FAR harder position than May, and, quality forwards are worth MORE. There is not a man born from his Mother that would straight swap Hogan for May, yet we are supposed to believe this trade is done. I have about had the media.
