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.

    He's a bad set shot kick, but a good field kick.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
