Jesse Hogan

MELBOURNE will be given permission to blood its key defensive hope Jesse Hogan in the VFL next year, giving fans a glimpse of what they will see in 2014.

The 17-year-old was secured in a trade with Greater Western Sydney and in a worst-case scenario could be the sole star selection for the Demons from this year's draft process.

Totally expected with the way Viney was treated as a 17yo.

That'll make going to Casey all the more exciting in 2013.

    'defensive hope' ....isn't he a forward?

    I thought so but Casey will be worth watching

    Defensive? HACKS!

    A simple fact- Hogan is a Forward you goons. If the newspaper idiots can't even get this right, what can we expect on more critical topics? Any ideas Ms Wilson?

    On topic, it will be great that he can be developing and skilling up at Casey towards a rapid injection into the seniors in 2014.

    Btw- worst case scenario: guesswork by the same genius that know where Hogan plays...

    Hope he starts smiling. I remember Scully never smiled...

    Actually, this isn't completely wrong as while he is predominantly a forward, he has played a fair bit at CHB. A couple of my colleagues have watched him play and one of them thinks that this would be his best position but of course, that's deabatable. Have a look at his highlights and you will see him taking marks in the backline.

    In any case, next year is all about development, so the FD can play him wherever they see fit. It might be easier for a 17y.o. to find his way playing CHB.

    He was selected as an All-Australian in the Under 18s as a defender, I think this is where the confusion arises.

    Will look forward to seeing him develop his game at Casey!

  • Quote

    Slightly off-topic, but who's coaching Casey next year? Not sure if it hasn't been decided or I missed it along the way...

    Plus his results from the combine were up with the midfielders, also in his highlights I noticed whenever he takes a mark (being forward or back ) how quickly he runs back of his mark , looking to move the ball on straight away. Looks a huge talent!

    Being able to play in the backline is a great assett to his game.

    Probably shows he has some footy smarts also ;-)

    Dustin Martin says hello, means nothing.

    I stand corrected. I have only seen him spoken about as a KPF, and seen highlights of same. I would have thought this was a more 'accepted' description- but if he could be a super CHB, then I would also not be disappointed....

    Gee I thought someone would have had a shot at Ralphys jibe about the worst case scenario for Melbourne that he may be the only star pick up in this years draft.

    What a Moron.

  • Quote

    But...hang on...we'd better decide whether he is forward or back, because if he's a defender and we play him at FF, then that's tanking.

    He's just put up a picture of the number 1 locker and is saying it will be his home for the next three years.

    Nice choice, Jess.

    Only 3??

    more like 15 years! :)

    I don't like the way that he has specifically said 'three'

    I don't know if I am just paranoid or used to it or if I am actually sensing something when I say that I do not think that he seemed overly excited when he was picked up by the Dees.

    And yes, I am yet to also see the kid smile. Lets hope he makes some buddies at the club.

  • Quote

    Oh FMD

    We lost 1 player to an unprecedented deal and came out the other side as huge winners (on the surface)

    Surely we don't need 3 years of people speculating Hogan will leave because he didn't smile

    Christ.....

    FFS.

    I know you're the poster that most epitomises MFCSS, but honestly...

    The kid just signed a 3 year contract.

    He clearly isn't taking anything for granted.

    If he just expected for a 10-15 year career to happen, then it would be more cause for concern.

    When someone asked why 3, he said he didn't want to get too arrogant and pretty much had to work for it.

    Why would he have put the photo up if he was so devastated?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
