Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Why would anyone want a player that would prefer to play for Freo. He obviously has more important things in his life than football and that is obvious. He is a sublime talent but his head is not on the footy field.

    You've got some good footy views STMJ but you really are an awful person. 

    Why awful? 

    Posters are complaining and trade period is not even over. 

    They have no idea what we'll end up with and they refuse to look at the picture at large.

    If we don't win a flag in the next 5 years and Hogan takes Freo to one, that's when I'll admit that the trade was a fail or that we got 'unders' for Hogan.

    Good that the deal has been done.

    Despite his talent, it was always been what he could do for us.

    He had some good games but overall his contribution was patchy at best, when we could get him on the paddock. 

    He has not been the worth the coin he was being paid and certainly not worth more based on his performance.

    Sick of the constant speculation around this guy. 

    We are building a team where everyone has a role.

    We were not building a team around one player.

    So Freo this trade period
    Gain - 14 and some later pics, Hogan, Lobb, Conca
    Lose - pick 6 and Neale

    They've smashed it. They've landed Hogan and Lobb AND still got a pick int he first round. We've been poor by comparison. Disappointing.

    Except without Lachie Neale, how are Fremantle going to get the to their forwards? Fyfe will do a lot of the heavy lifting, but who else?

    People are disappointed to see Hogan go.  Is there an issue with that?

    You're dancing on their disappointment like a big bully.

    So T Mac goes down with an injury.  Who are our key forwards then? The Weid?  Yeah that will win a premiership!

    For decades we have cried out for a power forward unit.....we get close and then we trade 'em.

    Good one Dees!

    No, they're disappointed about 'pick value' that we're getting back.

    Nothing else.

    Yes Jesse can do some spectacular things on the footy field. But I really think he is an individual driven player, this might change with maturity but I doubt it... 

    He lacks defensive pressure it never seemed to fully buy into our team & city. 

    Its no coincidence that our BEST wins of the last 4 or 5 years have been with no Jesse. 

    we have netted a pick 3 in return where we will get a full back for 4-5 years, a potential outside runner (former pick 5) & pick 23 to bring in a very decent role player. 

    Sure pick 19 would have been better, perhaps we have something planed already for 23 in an on trade?

    Watch every other club in the league circle our midfield over the next 3 years.

    "Melbourne give up their stars for peanuts. Let's give Clayton, Angus and Christian a call, surely we can get em for a second round each."

    We'd better get on with winning next year's premiership so I can live with Jesse nabbing the Colemans in 2022-2025.

    your full of joy and positivity

    Freo have been absolutely desperate for a key forward .. we DID have leverage before we came out and admitted we're happy for him to go home and we need the deal to get done for May... Amateurish

    If Hogan made it clear to all and sundry that he wanted to go home, then why not say we are happy for him to go home.  No one would believe us if we said we'd hang on to him grimly.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
