KingKepler, ever heard of a bloke called Jack Trengove? Exact same injury as hogan, navicular stress fracture. Missed a whole year with it, came back, reinjured a year later, never been the same since.
Also for all the freo baggers. This has got nothing to do with fremantle being "difficult" or "bluffing" to get a better deal. Without saying too much, the dockers have genuinely cooled on hogan after doing their "due diligence" on his "off field issues". The club has been burnt before by players with similar "issues" (mccarthy, bennel, everybody get the hint?). Duffield, langdon, everyone in the media knows it but cant say it. Of course, freo can't come out and make that statement either. Why do you think melbourne is so keen to get rid of a promising young player?
Fremantle are open to getting a deal done, but they know the risks and dont think they are worth compromising their future for. Stop bagging the club for doing something right for once.
