I have been told Hogan is playing QB. Also Gawn desperate to play. Has put his hand up, but club want to hold him back until R13.

Tell him you want him back as soon as possible because he's a very important part of the team.  Tell him he'll be straight back in and the harder he works the quicker it will be.  Give him a reason to

The issues will be mental.  If Hogan can get back quickly conditioning will not be so much of an issue. Both Gawn and Hogan could be back for QB. By god North showed us how badly we need out big

He's a pretty reliable kick from 35m or less and without much of an angle to work with. 

It's once he gets further out or starts hugging the boundary line that he's fairly useless.

We have some pretty reliable shots for goal, Watts (elite), TMac, Jones, Pedersen, Lewis, Salem. JH is a long way behind these guys.

 

Add Christian Petracca to that list. He is a beautiful kick.

What a mare of a season Hogan had.

Anyone Know how many games he played this season?

Could be the making of the kid.  Hopefully he can put this year behind him and it makes him a stronger, tougher and more resilient player for the future.

For me this is why there doesn't seem to be any point playing him again this year. At best we make finals and he's available for selection, without match/fitness conditioning what will his value be on the field? Moral for teammates?

If we end up in the finals we need everyone cherry ripe and in form, we don't need someone out on the field finding his feet again. The only scenario I'd be happy with is if he returned with Casey playing finals and he has AT LEAST one week there and dominates before playing for us.

So going by that he would be eligible during the bye week but not the rest of the VFL finals.

8 games

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/pp-melbourne-demons--jesse-hogan

That he's played 8 games is imo testament to his character. Suspension, father's death, cancer. That trifecta may have knocked anyone else out for the season.  He is a great kid with a great head on his shoulders. He'll bounce back.

on the latest real footy (aka the age) podcast, they alluded to difficulties btw hogan and goodwin again, and that we are shopping him for trade despite him being under contract

i really hope it's all just white noise; you don't give up on a talent as special as jesse

Are you referring to the spot around the 21 min mark where they said a club is shopping their star forward around because of issues with the head coach? No mention was made of names.  Was the discussion you allude to about Hogan somewhere else in the recording?

If its a rumour it probably started in the DL Jake Lever thread when someone suggested him as a trade.  The last thing Jesse needs is to be the talk of the town again!  I cannot imagine the club trading Hogan under any circumstances let alone being seen to 'dump' him after his horrendous year. 

Edit:  If the podcast did not mention Jesse, then his name should not be mentioned as it only feeds the 'fake story'.  It could be any number of clubs.  Bulldogs-Boyd.  Pies-Moore.  StK-McCartin.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’
