Farewell Jesse Hogan

I remember that Jesse was a big skateboarder back in the day and that a lot of his 'mates' were of that ilk. 

It seemed at the time that the club was doing the right thing by Jesse in regards to his welfare. It may turn out to be the worst thing if he continues down this path.

    I don't think Hogan will see out his contract with Freo.  Whether that is because his issues force him to step away from the game, or because he asks to be traded back to us or at least out of the state, it all adds up to the fact that going back home was a mistake.

    What? People are considering Hogan be traded back to us??? Are you people mad. Both sides have made their decisions. Let us dry our eyes and get over it. Much bigger fish to fry.

    I seriously don't think he'll go far at all WB. 

    I have a suspicion hell not only not see out his current Freo adventure but he'll end up out of AFL very early.

    Methinks you are writing him off a bit early.  And can't imagine any club trading for him after the trashing of his issues that Freo have done.

    Notable cases of high end players with mental health issues:  Buddy (missed a finals series), Tom Boyd (played 23 games in past 2 years and not selected to play this week), Dusty (self confessed issues in The Age last week and who had a dedicated minder virtually full time in his early years).

    But they are at clubs who are reasonably good to very good at keeping things in house and putting support around their players.  This cannot be said about Freo.  If Hogan bombs out it will have more to with Freo's incompetence than it will Jesse.  That will be a very sad day.

    Apologies, not trying build suspense, more so just massive hours at work and last nights game put me to sleep. A lot of people wouldn’t agree with his stance,  he didn’t miss Hogan at all. 

    - Asked for someone to explain to him how someone can just drink/use drugs to excess than hide behind the guise of mental health.

    - Why is it that when this happens the club releases a statement to the effect of “we need to get around this player and care for him” rather that telling the player that he stuffed up and made the wrong decisions.

    - No accountability from anymore. 

    There was more but that was the gist, obviously he did mention that anxiety wasn’t an issue when he was playing. 

    I heard it on Sports Tonight on Wednesday, they were replaying an interview between Blight and I think Wheatley.

    I know many won’t agree but I did with a lot of what he said.

    You may be right, LH.  But the signs aren't flash.  This sort of stuff hasn't been going on just since he returned to Perth.  As we've seen with the video (which was rubbish stuff from the Age), he's been up to a bit of 'hijinx' for quite a while now.  It seems as though it's been heightened since he has returned to Perth.  I'd love him to get over all of this, but it may take stepping away from the game to do it.

    I'm not really suggesting it, Moonie.  It's more a hypothetical and based on how much he loved being at the club and how much the club is still willing to support him.  Nothing more than that.

    Wise, a "hypothetical" is much the same as "considering", which is what I wrote.

    I'm not sure the club wanted to support Hogan any further. If the numerous reports circulating are true, our club was instrumental in moving him on and not unhappy with the so-called 'unders' we got in the trade, ie, one 1st rounder.

    I hope he gets back on track, as any normal human would hope. Mental health and addiction are big issues in society. But I do not know him or his family, so forgive me if i care little, particularly of his thoughts on our club. We would benefit from being more foccussed on the MFC moving on. I'm pleased that another club must deal with Hogan's issues and congratulate Mahoney and co who orchestrated the trade.

    I'm probably in the minority of maybe...one.. here

    If Hogan bombs out it will pretty much be on his own shoulders..

    Trying to be respectful to Hogan and Croad here, I think you will find their 'issues' are very different.

     

    I know both well enough to say their issues are / were near identical.

    I think getting him back later has been. I don’t think the similarity with Croad has.

    And the story goes on.

    Yes Hogan has problems.

    Ah he's recovered from his "clinical anxiety"..that was fast. Its not a term that existed pre Jesse so it must be a short lived condition musnt it? He recovered so fast one could almost think it was just a club suspension...which it wasnt . Was it?

    Who is going to kick the 40+ goals he kicked for us  last year? It sure won't be the Weid or Tmac.

    Hogan himself. As part of the trade, we get 50% of his goals this year, 25% next year and 10% in the third year.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
