Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

If the deal on the table for Hogan was pick 5 & Brad Hill ... would you take it?

Send pick 5 and Frost to the Suns for May and Kolodjashnij.

2019 R1 Side:

Jetta May OMac

Salem Lever Hibberd 

Hill Oliver Kolodjashnij 

Petracca Weideman Jones 

Spargo TMac Melksham

Gawn Brayshaw Viney

Harmes Lewis ANB Hannan

To me this is would be a significant improvement on the 2018 version of Melbourne. Shore up the defence with May while adding some class run, carry and delivery on the outside of midfield. We’ve got the grunt covered. Now’s the time to add a bit of polish. 

Be very happy if we emerged from trade week with an outcome like this. Pretty much all depends on what Hogan does of course.

    Crickey, are we there yet?

    silence from all the sources that would matter.  Will the Bluey cause player or club to reveal their hand?  

    A mate's family used to take turns presenting the Fitzroy B&F trophy to the winner each year. His family were related to the club official the award was named after (don't ask me to say who, as I have no idea).

    Anyway, each year the winner or placegetter was poached by a power club as poor old Fitzroy was near bust. Pert, Osborne, etc all abandoned the sinking ship.

    On the year my mate's turn came up, he presented the trophy to Paul Roos and broke tradition by announcing to the crowd it was now Roosy's opportunity to declare he would resign with the Lions. Handing the mike over to Roos, the response was,

    "Thank you very much for the award."

    And he left the stage.

    Well, you can imagine the silence as 300 fans sat, mouths agape in the knowledge that their club champion, star player was leaving. 

    The following year he was at the Swans.

    Dangerfield was a free agent, no contract to Crows?

    Dangerfield was a RFA so the Crows could have kept him by matching the Cats offer. He was adamant that the Crows receive just compensation. Crows got pick 9 (Milera) and steak knives. I doubt that Crows fans held much of a grudge in that Dangerfield had served the club well for 8 years.

    We should offer Mrs Hogan a job at the club

    Interesting, as if so, it meant he couldn't see them play live very often.

    Has family from South Australia and was always a Crows fan growing up

    No to Brad Hill

    Damaged goods

    Care to elaborate?

    Triple premiership wingman and Doig Medallist (2017). Still only 25yo.

    Hogan not averse to staying out ‘til the wee hours himself on occasion. Does that make him “damaged goods”?

    If a Fremantle player comes into the equation (other than Cerra or Andy Brayshaw) I wouldn’t be interested in Ed Langin, I’d be asking after Brad Hill. He’d be very handy on a wing for the Dees, won their B&F in 2017, triple premiership player and still only 25yo.

    There were rumours during the year too that Hill isn’t entirely happy playing ‘Ross Lyon footy’.

    he opended a business in WA and said he isn't leaving.

    Might be one of the reasons we are happy to let him go. ?

    Had mail tonight from a mate close to a non-dees player that JH is gone. Same source is confirming Conca to Freo so apparently that's the word going around player circles. Wouldn't take it as gospel but he was on to Lever to Melbourne at the start of 2017 before the media storm.

    Not sure what you’re trying to say here...

    None of the developments were anything to do with a public announcement and wouldn’t have been picked up by the media immediately.

    It appears others have confirmed bits & pieces, but the fact remains that my source is impeccable. I don’t push for details though, cos I’d prefer the well doesn’t run dry.

    Everything i've heard (i know nobody, just from on here and AFL journos) suggest he's gone. Like i said in the AVB thread, i don't like that the club is going to have so much turnover after a succesful season onfield. Hopefully this is a one off off-season, reminds me too much of our dark days.

    Take it as you will but May was having beers with Gawn (and other Melb players) after the Brownlow and said that he wants in at Melbourne next year. Feeling was that Hogan is gone but wasn’t sure how the trade would be done.

    This comes from a reliable source and we are trying to manage how we can maximise on the trade.

    Besides Hogan, they are only turning over fringe players who are looking for more opportunity.

    • 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.
