Fremantle have withdrawn their name from the Jesse Hogan race, after it became clear the two parties are too far away on a current deal.

โ€œWe have been undertaking a due diligence process as part of a possible trade to secure Jesse Hogan,โ€ Fremantle football boss Peter Bell said in a statement.

โ€œAs part of that process, we have had discussions with Jesse, the playerโ€™s management and Melbourne.

โ€œWhile discussions were proceeding it became clear that what Melbourne would be seeking for a trade would not be possible for our club to meet.

โ€œAs such, we have informed Melbourne and Jesseโ€™s management that we will not be continuing further with the due diligence process.โ€
