Melbourne have asked Hogan to either leave now or re-sign with us for a longer period.

His manager is telling him to hold out for a better deal next year.

Hogan is torn.

Why would manager think Freo will offer more next year if Jesse turns them down now?  Betting on WCE coming into the game, perhaps.  High risk stakes if that is the case.

And how much more does Jesse (or manager) want.  If the kid wants to go home, let him.  Why put him thru another year of angst and speculation.  The extra $$ (after tax/manager fee) for Jesse, surely can't be be worth that.

If Jesse turns Freo down for $$ he may never get back to Perth.

    Let’s be clear. Jesse didn’t do a medical test while at dockers HQ because he’s still not allowed to run. He may have had additional scans done. But I think this is all BS

    You do realise you can do medical exeminations without the running? All they would need is a copy of medical report on his foot from the specialist he saw down here.

    Even if hes foot was fine, some medicals don't require running.

    He's definitely done a medical at Freo.

    LH , I suspect this is Melbourne forcing the hand of others...i.e create an unattractive course if remaining with Melbourne. You stay ...it's on our terms. If going...stop fn around...and manager .. go f yourself. 

    A crude summary but gut says this is the way we're going. 

    I think we will never be held to ransom again. 

    Go Dees

    That may be mfc position but they can't force him to go and he stays another year as unpalatable as that may be.

    It is the manager's advice I was commenting on.  Selling the kid short telling him to wait for a better deal next year.  Get the best deal he can now.  A deal can't be that much better next year.

    Let's be clear. It is certainly possible for the Dockers to give Hogan a medical examination without him running.

    Surely in this instance a medical would have to come from an independent 3rd party and not from the buyers doctor.  

    I couldn’t see any reason why the Fremantle doctor would cast doubt on Jesse’s injury that would tip the balance of the trade in Fremantle’s favour. ???

    Yes am aware. Hence the reference to his management. 

    I just think Dees are trying to wrest back as much of this into their control as possible. 

    As was mentioned somewhere by someone in media ( apologies as just couldn't give a fig to read the byline ) ...that players have TOO much power.

    They're entitled to say...but it's about a team.

    It does not seem that the world and its advice is setting Jesse Hogan up for the better outcome in his playing days and in its future. In that process, that appears quite debilitating, there is an undertone suspicion that he is being exploited against his best interests.

    not sure why everyone is talking about brayshaw? Cerra looks double the player. Some people look at his surname and live in fantasy world. 

    Pick 2 in a reasonable draft and had equal numbers with Cerra. What's not to like

    From what I've heard, the deal is still on. Until it's officially off from the club I'll assume it's still on. I think the failed medical is BS and Freo have been spreading rumours (not just that).

    From what you've heard? 

    What, reading the countless pages of nonsense on this thread? 

    The way some posters talk about this fiasco acting like they 'know' something is brilliant.

    Actually if you must know, an ex player of Fremantle who is a stock broker of mine. He's obviously not connected to the club anymore but seems he'd have more idea than all on this thread bar Chook I.P.

    No need to be condescending and assume [censored].

    Fair enough, but how about stating your source and what level of credibility you give them when posting.  I'm sick of posts which make some bold assertion without giving me any background to enable me to judge its reliability.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
