Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise

I’ll wish Hogan well in all aspects of life outside football - but once he crosses the white line I hope he crashes and burns.

    Two first round pick, one of which goes to GC for May and I'd imagine KK.  No way May would be worth a top 10 pick by himself.  Darcy wouldn't go with it if he had any doubt and Jones certainly wasn't refuting it.

    Just throwing it around. I have no idea

    Then  why post it as the latest news.

    I actually find those type of posts where people make something up as something they have heard, or fact, among the worst on DL.

    Looking forward to some humble pie serving if this actually happens. There were some really arrogant dismissals and personal attacks early on in this thread when someone dared to entertain trading Hogan. 

    I suspect the worst offenders wont have the agates to admit they got it wrong if it comes about.

    You know who you are.

    If those picks are 9 and 10 from Port then that's disappointing. One of them needs to be pick 4 or 5 at least

    Seriously I am so sick of this “he is going he is staying” every single year since he’s been at Melbourne. Doesn’t feel like he has ever really committed to the club. If he wants to go home, we will be ok and I wish him all the very best. 

    Lets get maximum value for him and move on from this conjecture every season.

    Hopefully we’re selling him at the right time with he foot issues. 

    Better still hopefully the foot issues prevent him from reaching his potential.

    One thing we can probably all agree on is that JH never really got a clear run at it, without something going on, be it family, his health and injuries.

    If he does get a clear run at it for the next 5-6 years, it is scary how good he could be.

    If anyone thinks we shouldn't be asking for the absolute most for him, you are seriously undervaluing his potential.

    Jones talked about Hogan and a "fresh start" and doing what "is best for family, friends and his own performance".  Anyone else get the sense from Jones' comments there may be more to it than just the go home factor?

    Enough respected posters on here have virtually said he is gone.  That little dialogue from Jones confirms it for mine. 

     

    While the club isn't saying anything, giving Lever and Jones the ok to say things like they "will support Jesse's decision, whatever he decides" is the club's way of preparing supporters for the departure of a fan favourite, as it is bound to upset many.

    I think the Stephen May part of the equation is a little overlooked. I think he has been a ripper Full back and his best is in front of him. Brian lake switched to the Hawks much later in his career and won a Norm Smith.

    Well that’s really turned Grand Final day into a real downer

    It's Colonwood v Boo Factory.

    Already a lose/lose proposition.

     

    Will all be forgotten if we turn the Hogan compo into the missing pieces of a Premiership puzzle.

    Thought Jones handled himself quite well. Between a rock and a hard place as to how to answer that but he played a deft bat imho.

    Really...what else was he going to say.

    Well done Chunk.

    Agree. I don’t want to keep him if his heart is not in it. We have seen how that’s turned out in the past.

    I’m nervous that Mahoney and Co are not going to drive a hard bargain. 

    If we lose Hogan for May and chump change that will be a seriously disappointing outcome. 

    It must be May and either a very good pick or a very good starting 22 player. 

    I want May but no way is he of equal value to Hogan, not to mention the fact that we have the whip hand over Fremantle in this exchange. They need the player more than we need to give him.

    Like many Demon supporters I will be watching on with keen critical interest as to how shrewdly we negotiate this. We traditionally have not been renowned for coming out on the winning side of trade table deals. A few yes but more often than not we’ve been the ones picking up the dropped soap in the prison shower.

    I hope those days are over.

    • 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.
