I would be playing Hogan off Half Back in 2019. I don’t think we have seen the best of Jesse yet. Not by a long shot. 

Personally i don’t think his kicking is good enough to be a key forward. 

But i certainly wouldn’t be trading him for pick 6

I think his field kicking is some of the best going around.  He has a few staggers at set shots, but watching him deliver on the move to another player is different.  I really rate this part of his game.  In a way, he could be a bigger version of Petracca for us.  Shifting him to HB could be an interesting idea, or using his power, marking and aerobic capacity on the wing (a great marking target as well) could be another option.  Personally I see him as the roaming CHF type who would be damned hard to match up on, with Weids and TMac deep.

    Can't believe the myth that we look better with Jesse out is still going.

    myth? literally as soon as hogan went out we beat 4 top 8 teams in a row.  naive to think its coincidence. it also happened last season.

    I'm not convinced Hogan will leave, but if we got 2 top 10 picks in this year's draft (Neale pick and their own) and held on to them (not that keen on May) I would probably need to change my underwear.

    Read the articles out there. All looking into things and taking words and spinning them. Jesse isn't leaving

    Now he's apparently agreed to go to Freo .. How do these media outlets get approval to run with these headlines. 

    Now thats click bait.

    Its an article about a article with no by line to it. 

    If a reporter had that info they would put there name to it with an exclusive tag

    I've got a mate in AFL Media - he was 100% convinced last year that Jesse was off. 

    Seems to me they've recycled the same story again.

    Dont you love the media? In the article it says "The Australian’s Greg Denham reported on Tuesday that Hogan has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the Dockers and will force the Demons into a trade this trade period."

    In Denham's article the closest he comes to saying that is "Should Hogan agree to return home, the Dockers will have to give up a first-round selection to Melbourne in return, which the Demons would have to on-trade to Gold Coast to secure May."

    Nothing about agreeing to a blockbuster deal. If Hogan had agreed Denham would most certainly have said so.

    love the lack of quotes and citing of sources there. FMD, journalism in this country is so amateurish, there is a complete lack of integrity.

    Would get more accuracy from Chinese whispers than through media outlets nowadays, lol.

     

    For the MFCSS sufferers out there, fear not. Hogan cannot sign a contract with Freo due to him having one in place with Melbourne until the end of the 2019 season. He can only sign off on one once we agree to trade him, which would result in the outcome being of great benefit to us, as oppose to being held over a barrel for scraps. Fear not.

    What a load of absolute codswallop! denham simply guessing and people quoting Denhams " information" . Sheesh we live in a strange age. Plus there is no way in hell that,  even if Denham was right ( which I highly doubt)  that we would agree to trade him for ONE first round draft pick. Stupid  frikn story. My head hurts.

    Denham is only giving credit to made up rumours of Hogans departure fanned by some talk back radio hosts desperate to talk about something and posters from Demonland.

    Also Hogan is worth a top 10 pick and a later first round pick as a minimum. Young but established Key Forwards are almost impossible to trade for.

    Unfortunately if Denham has reported it, then it's likely to be on the money...

    We're not talking Brad Hardy here, like him or not Denham is a serious journalist and has runs on the board.

    @Pennant St Dee, how do you rate Freo's young key defender. Is is Pearce? and is he worth part of the deal?

    If the story is correct I would be looking at a player plus...a pick or maybe 2 players.

    We're in the so called window and don't need picks at the moment unless we can on trade them for needs.

    he could of course say... "trade me or I go next year" as a restricted free agent.

    Life isn't straight forward... Players now decide... clubs take what they can get

    That's fair, but he never said Hogan had agreed to a deal. Just that Freo were going to offer him a massive deal and that they think they can get him, which is the same news we have heard for two years now. 

    The other article ran with his news and then claimed he agreed to a deal,which is not what Denham said. It will snowball from here.

    He would do that.   I dont think he'd screw Melbourne over.

    Isn't Jason Taylor on record as being very keen on young Ed Langdon? He's a small defender though...

    Pearce is another Omac.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
