TOPIC:

Hogan only signed a three year deal for roughly $900k a year which he would have been earning at Melbourne next year anyway.

Good job by Freo in the trading period....would love to see Hogan provide Freo with that key target they need....might even allow McCarthy to go under the radar as their 4th forward and get a kick.....or might see him in the WAFL a lot with Peel.....what was the deal with Kersten too?.....

Who are the docker haters mike? Be interesting to see where I sit on the list

Yep....I guess if anyone says anything detrimental about Freo then you're classed as a hater 58. I, for one, don't hate them I just don't think they're the be all and end all like some on here and try to call it like it is. They've done very well this trade period after being a bit sceptical myself with some of the moves but let's hope we start to see some winning light at the end of the tunnel next year.

I'm a hater, I think their 20 year journey is more funny than anything else.

Answer me this, is there any Dockers recruit who has come from another AFL club and excelled further at the Dockers?? Ever?

Ripper Drafter as well they reckon, with picks like that they will miss the lot.

Hmmm...good question tuggers. Gumbleton...no. Sylvia....no. McCarthy...not so far. Ridley and Delany from Essendon...don't think so. Croad...no way. Luke McPharlin perhaps? Tarrant probably not. as you say, not too many that's for sure.

Not many...

Wonder how Neale will go at Brissie, you know the one the purple cranks said would never ever leave freo?

I'm a proud as punch docker hater, along with dwert and many more supporters of true fremantle football...not a bunch of imposters that flogged a franchise and then packed up and moved away...lol

You took the easy option AM, McPharlin was only 12 games deep into a career.
