Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • 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.
