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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
