Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Just wanna check . . . is that the same Hogan that:

  • has the ball constantly kicked on top of his head
  • has the ball kicked to his defensive side
  • regularly competes against two or three opponents because we move the ball slowly or in unpredictable patterns
  • has the ball dropped in front of him
  • was a lock for AA in the middle of the season
  • was rated top 15 players in the comp by The Roar a month ago
  • flies against (take your pick) Pedo/Max/Harmes/Trac/Hotdog stand vendor
  • runs his guts out to make position at half forward for a clear receive only to see the ball fumbled or turned over by (take you pick) ANB/Spargo/Jones/Tyson/Frost
  • is so bugged by the time he does get the ball that he can't kick straight?

Yeah . . . trade him I recon.

    Take a second to look at the posters who agree at all with the OP.  

    Once you have, you'll have all the answers you need.  Joke of a thread.

    Hogan is playing injured. He needs a week or two off, but we can't afford to drop him this close to finals. I'd say drop him this week since we're no chance of winning but he would probably like to go to Perth.

    Hogan isn't our problem. But If I were Hogan I would ask for a trade if our delivery inside 50 doesn't improve. It isn't fair to even bag Hogan at this point. We have the worst delivery inside 50 of a team that I have ever seen, and that includes my junior football sides when we couldn't kick at all.

    I'm not saying trade Hogan because of any problem with his form. In fact I think he has the ability to deliver us a premiership playing at CHF.

    What I am saying is that we may have a chance of covering Hogan with Weideman, Mc Donald etc while adding significantly to our list through the draft or by trade. Cannot think of another player on our list that we could cover for who has decent trade value.

    Time to get smart as a football club. We have a decent list and the club would be wanting if the analysis was not done.

    I’m not one to sensationalise, but do we honestly think he’s the answer at FF.

    Trade him for two first rounders while he has some currency !

    Must be a full moon, the nuffies are out.

    Yeah, bugger it, we're no good, trade veryone with currency, time for a rebuild.

    We have an improving list built around a core of solid performers

    But we've always held on to guys we like who don't perform because we see them through rose coloured glasses

    Hogan I think is one

    Our list, Hogan included, is not the [censored] problem. For once we actually have a good list!!! We have a better list than half the teams currently in the 8. 

    The problem is we are mentally [censored] and we are not well coached.

    Hogan is a gun and the other 17 clubs would be lining up for him.  Unfortunately our style of play is not suited to anyone playing deep forward.  He is far from the problem - his dodgy kicking today not withstanding.

    He continually over runs under the kick, then complains like a baby when it's not lace out. 

    If he asks to go home you let him go and get Adam Cerra or Langdon in return, any day of the week.

    You watch T Mac wait and time his marking properly. Hogan cannot do this. Even the weed is a better contested mark.

  • Quote

    Can those posters that are in the “no to trading Hogan camp” please enlighten the rest of us which games he’s dominated this year. Or more to the point, his numbers/stats in our losses. 

    For those who keep bringing up his potential AA form, again, against which sides? 

    What he achieved in his first two seasons counts for nothing now. He is clearly not the player we all thought he’d be which ever way you spin it. 

    Im all for trading him, but would want a gun mid in return. One that fits our age/talent profile. Then target a Peter Wright or similar.

    Firstly, Hogan is playing injured and should have been rested for the Gold coast match. 

    Secondly, every player has a bad day, sure a FF should not miss from 20 metres out slight angle, but that is footy and that is life. no need to overreact 

    he has had some really good games for us this year and games in past seasons. everyone should just calm down.

    Not today worst disposal efficiency in the team

    But if you're right then he's not our full forward solution so he shouldn't be played there

    He also is not a strong lead and mark, I'm sure his teammates kicking on his head doesn't help much but we need a full forward who can lead and mark

    Just as he is a excellent mark leading up the ground, but struggles when the ball comes in high or in pack marking situations but spends more time deep than TMac. On the other hand TMac takes the big marks and today aside is a better shot on goal yet it he who has to go down back or into the ruck. Would love to see TMac left at FF for the rest of the year.

    @Dappa Dan put it best in the post match thread and he might like to cross post it here.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
