Back home with all his dropkick mates who aren’t professional footballers encouraging him to get on the p*ss.....for a guy with mental health issues probably not the best environment

It might take him some time to get there, but once he returns to having somewhat of a 'normal' life (coming to terms with his father's passing, cancer battle, etc.) he will dominate. Perth is where he needs to be to get the best out of himself.

When it clicks for him (and it eventually will), he'll explode.

I’m not so sure if it will ever click for him, likes partying too much.

The clock is ticking.........

Not sure if you’re serious; if you are, check out clinical anxiety on google, it’s no picnic

He was my favourite Demon player, as evidenced by the 1313 no. in my bio, so I wish him well.

I won't try and second guess what his issues are, but once again I applaud the club on making the trading decision they did.

If you've doubted some of Goody's decisions I suggest you start having some faith.

It’s interesting to note that our forward line used to consist of Hogan, Jurrah and Clarke, who we all thought were world beaters.

Just goes to show it takes a lot more than natural talent to succeed.

All lacking “the right stuff”. Stillborn champions. Hogan has a chance to turn things around but I doubt it.

There are a couple Perth based dees fans on Twitter who have posted numerous times the murmurs around Hogans off season. All you have to do is follow his Instagram page & see most weekends he is out on the grog.

I hope he can get himself together but it seems this hasn't just happened, obvious why we let him go

So Jesse has clinical anxiety because he's moved from Melbourne FC to Fremantle FC? 

yes he's gone from a club we're he is just one of the pieces in a good side, to a team we're he has to be the messiah at a crap team

Hmm you still think it was him driving the change?

 maybe or maybe not but that's not the point I'm making,  he's gone from a top side to a crap side, of course he's got anxiety, he now has to be the Messiah where at Melbourne he was one of the disciples.

What concern is that to you? Hogan’s private life should be private, and not really relevant to us any more.

I couldn't careless what he does in his down time, just stating that this news hasn't come as a shock to a lot of people especially those in Perth.

Yeah nah.

I personally think it will be the worse for him. He's back with his mates who are known to be quite shady when it comes to off field activities. 

Add the fact the Freo's culture is quite toxic with poor leadership around the club. He'll play some good games and dominate at times, but i doubt we'll see his full potential.

Goody won me over completely the moment he shipped Watts out. Funny enough there are still people on here who still think that was a poor decision...... crazy huh...

This is another decision Goody has a huge tick next to his name. Which in a way is a bit sad because i too was a huge fan of Hoges.

But we are far better off and i am quite excited about what May and KK will bring to this club.

It's a bit rich to say his private life should be private when he posts it on social media for all to see.

This is not necesssarily aimed at Hogan as we don't exactly what is going on with him but the sporting landscape is littered with supremely talented juniors who fail to transition to a professional sport. There is a drive that is needed to get to the top of sport. Some juniors coast along being better than their peers without putting on a huge amount of effort. Raw talent gets you there as a junior in a lot of sports but they don't have the drive or burning desire.

I would put Watts in that category, like Sylvia. Great talent but inability to transition to a professional sport to excel.

Plenty of others have less talent but a burning desire.

I'd take the second guy every time and I think the Dees are getting better at choosing which players have a better chance of making it.

If you think swapping clubs is the reason for Hogan having anxiety, then you really have no idea about mental health.

It’s becoming a common problem with footballers these days. 

Hopefully, he’ll come good.

And not just footballers either!

The Black Dog is a hard beast to tame

It can manifest in in ages and regardless of socio economic situation is becoming an ongoing problem..

I hope he can get through it

Anxiety is a horrible and debilitating thing to deal with. Anyone who has had it would know what a struggle it is. It impacts every part of your life and when you’ve gone thru as much as he has, it’s little wonder. 

I wish him all the best and hope he gets himself sorted. He has so so so much talent and deserves a long and successful career.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
