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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
