Check out @caty_price’s Tweet:

 

Felt a bit sorry for him on news yesterday at the airport.

Was asked if he had decided to leave us and he said no.

Was then asked the same question 5 different ways answering no every time.

Reporter wouldn't give up.

    Reality of losing Jesse starts to sink in - like watching your ex-girlfriend (who dumped you) start dating her new man. The heart still hurts but the head generally prevails (most times).

    I'm now concerned that with Freo likely having a closer eye toward the draft than us, they could deliberately bog us down in negotiations. 

     

     

    Don't be.  If they stuff us around we just don't trade Hogan and they miss out.  They have a lot more to lose than us.

    reporter not very inventive - didn't think of instead asking if he had decided to stay.

    I know this has been on the cards. But it makes me sad.

    It is sad and more so, because we have totally supported and paid him during his issues and injuries.

    But is is a job for him and whether it is influenced by money or family etc, it is his prerogative to decide in which state he works and lives.

    That is the nature of footy today and we just need to get the best deal we can.

    As I said in an earlier post, I regard him as an ex player now, as his leaving seems a formality provided a deal is done. He will move on and I already have.

    Must say it made the reporter look stupid and pushy.

    Honestly hes gone too far down the path, wouldnt want him back now

    Touring the facilities is generally a sign that you're going to ask for a trade.  Outside of Dusty a few years back, have many other players gotten down the path of touring another club before re-signing?  I'm sure it has happened, but it wouldn't be a regular occurrence. 

    Sad to see him there, though.

    Confident in the club and how they conduct themselves these days.. poor body language will be rife in Fremantle next year.

    Will he tour the Eagles facilities tomorrow?

     

    I hope so.

    As much as I'd like him to stay, I'm glad another club will have to fix some of his frustrating (to the supporter) on-field behaviour.  Always looking for small mercies....

    Not a good thing if your head is saying “get a bus... run him over!”

    ...Is it just me, or does this scenario seem perfectly set up for:

    [Jesse Hogan is about to sign at the Dockers, he looks up, and a montage plays in his mind]

    [Jesse smiles as he reminisces about the good times at the Dees]

    [Jesse looks to the East...]

    [Cue music, maybe some cliché 80s love song, or Al Green 'Let's Stay Together', for example]

    [Jesse gets in his car, and drives cross country through the night, top down, hand tapping on the door]

    [He arrives in Melbourne, parks the car hurriedly across a few parking spaces, runs across Gosch's Paddock]

    [Jesse runs towards Goody and the boys, who are also running towards him]

    [Group hug, tears etc. Goody tells Jesse he never doubted him for a second]

    [Jesse re-signs for a bajillion years]

    [We win 5 flags]

    Lin Jong and possibly a heap of other lesser names in season who are fighting for contracts but not the big names post season.

    The asking for a trade is an interesting point in all of this. I very much get the feeling Melbourne have asked Hogan to explore his options. He might be agreeing to a trade rather than asking for one.

    Lin Jong is one that comes to mind...still wouldn't mind him actually....

    Don't be surprised if Andrew Brayshaw comes into serious discussions.

    Touring facilities doesn't actually mean anything, it's just a way for a club to impress potential targets. Hickey and Lobbe both did tours at the Eagles and only of them is joining as an example.

    we didnt kick one goal in the first half!  and the entire team played terribly. arguably the midfield was the worst on the day and cost us the most goals.

    In 1 game.  We were the highest scoring team in the comp.

    Yes this possibility crossed my mind as well. I haven’t followed all the media discussions closely enough but with Josh Mahoney saying that we couldn’t get May unless Hogan decides to go and Hogan supposedly only recently asking if a trade back home was possible this year and then hearing that the Club has spoken to May on two occasions already.....well something doesn’t seem to add up! 

    I think the club put it on Hogan to extend his contract past 2019 now and if he didn’t commit they decided to act.

    Both of you are correct, and I'm certain that other players do tour facilities without it hitting the mainstream media.

    It just feels as though Jesse has now crossed a 'boundary' so to speak, and there may not be any coming back from this.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.
