The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here

I don't pretend to know anything about Hogan staying or going. (I hope he stays. He is valuable.)

But I wouldn't read anything into the comments from WCE.

The trade period business is very cloak and dagger for some clubs. It could in fact be a message to current WCE players that they are trade bait if they don't pull up their socks. Or he might be trying to force Freo into offering a higher price because they both have their eye on another player elsewhere, and want to stuff it up for Freo.

Or Hogan's manager might be mates and told him to say it just to stir up MFC.

Lots of strange and underhand goings on over the years ... as they say, lying is the second language of the AFL.

Goodwins comments here are exactly what I was told from another senior person at MFC.  This is all true.  All that is missing is the reason for Hogan's current stay in WA.  His critically ill father has the potential of stuffing this up for us, but the truth is that it is extremely unlikely Hogan will not re-sign with the Dees.  

Breathtakingly insensitive.

That's why I said that this could be the Manager getting a bit more for Jesse from us. It is his job after all as a Manager

I don't think GNF was being insensitive or facetious.  He omitted the word inadvertently ie the timing of the resolution of Jesse's personal situation is not dovetailed to the trade period, nor the AFL season nor his contract expiry and that potentially could cause a suboptimal outcome for the MFC notwithstanding the best intentions of Jesse (and even other parties in this saga).  If you look at my post from several weeks ago you'll see the same assessment, albeit written in more subtle language as the matter of Jesse's father's illness was not being discussed in detail at that point.

Thumbs up.

We live in an age where people go searching to find offence. 

Btw, I'm not suggesting LH was, but the grievance industry is alive and well.

According to our latest Australian of the year the word "guys" is now sexist.

But I digress ...

Are you serious???

If you are not prepared to be offended or you are over sensitive for God sake never go onto social media.......... especially Demonland.

The truth is the truth. Who and why are we protecting people from the truth?

Yes I was serious.  I wasn't doubting the truth of it and it was not the reference to Jesse's father being ill, that I found insensitive...

...It was the reference to 'stuffing it up for us'.  In the circumstances I felt it was a poor choice of words.

If Jesse goes back to play in WA to be with his family so be it.  I will applaud him.  I will not think his father's illness 'stuffed it up for us'. 

You have a different view, that's just fine.

See, this is what annoys me.  He's not a 'Prima Donna' forward.  He's a kid.  It's up to the club as a whole to make sure we get the very best out of him - if the transition is slow and the disposal is sub par then of course you aren't going to kick many goals, nor are you going to get a whole lot of the footy.

And the list of players in general without a flag is very long.  It doesn't just go with forwards with stacks of goals.  

74 shots on goal from 21 games (round 13 v Sydney, played in heavy rain, team kicked 4 goals for the entire match) for a return of 41 goals 33, he got his fair share of the footy. A lot of his misses were no more than 35 metres out and a less than 45 degree angle so no, your not going to kick too many when you continue to miss sodas. Yes the midfield has areas it needs to work but so does Hogan.

The only surprising thing about WC admitting their interest is that they admitted their interest. Footy clubs usually lie.


This is all Mark Neelds fault if he goes. He drafted him got us all excited and now we could be crushed.

I'm with you. Totally inappropriate comment. "If someone tells you you have offended them, you don't get to decide whether you have or not" Louis CK

Bigfooty: '' Apparently Jesse was at the Wa amateurs grand final with a few Freo players . Don't know who the Freo players were but a mate said it was apparently mentioned on abc radio in Wa who covered the game.''

Well , it's fair to say he's got plenty of mates over there , in footy and outside the game. 

I personally think he's going home to play , I hope I'm wrong.. 

Certainly will miss his fast hands and close in play

While I liked the post because it said something positive about him staying, even I am not insensitive enough to word something like that, when his family and mates probably read this site.

Poor form GNF.

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
