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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
