Plays for Fremantle now so I donā€™t care all that much, injuriesĀ are a part of professional sport.Ā AtĀ least heā€™sĀ still gettingĀ paidĀ 

Yep they are on a solid financial wicket.

Most of them still love playing the game and are passionate about the game.Ā 

Not being able to play at such an elite level would be very disappointing though.Ā I missed a lot of low level footy when young due to knee issues and it was depressing enough without any money. Did you ever play? Did you miss it for any reason?

Add the fact that he's probably rightly concerned about the future of his career given his injuries and I would argue that the financial compensation is not that much of a help.

I get that he's moved on but JH has gone...is going through a lot. His dad passed away as well as having to fight cancer.

Ā 

I'd argue that from your post you dont really care at all. That's all well and good. You areĀ Ā entitled to your lack of empathy but I dont understand why you want to share it.

Who benefits from your dont really care post and why the motivation to not care but care enough to tell us .I know you are a passionate supporter of this great club and I enjoy your humor quite a lot but your cynicism not so much.

Perhaps you forgot about his other struggles in which case I apologize.Ā  But I for one feel very sorry for the poor kid.

Good luck Jesse.

Get well soonĀ and TX for the memories.

Look forward to seeing you play some great footy againĀ  You served the Mfc well.

    Not at any decent level but trained hard to join defence, at 25 I injured by back pretty bad on deployment and couldnā€™t do what I was doing anymore. A decade later itā€™s still buggered and having another round of major surgery in a couple of months. Pretty rough not being able to do what you trained hard for and loved. I could probablyĀ be more empathetic I suppose.Ā

    Whatever way you look at it it's sad. I hope he's able to get his body right and play some good footy in the future. Right now I'd say the trade is sitting at a 0-0 draw given May's injury troubles.

    Always liked Jesse, but I don't think he was ever going to be the great white hope we all wanted.Ā

    But he is Freo's problem now.

    Feeling sad for Hoges. A great talented individual who just hasn't quite reach his potential due to injury unfortunately.Ā

    I'd love to see Hogan have a good run at it in 2020 and show what he's capable of. He's been through an awful lot as a young man, and it is clear he is popular with our list and coaches and alot of mutual respect when he left to join Freo. I think has handled himself pretty well and I would genuinely be happy if he plays well and kicks a bag against us. There are more important things in life than footy.Ā

    Yep, that said, you could also argue the trading of Jesse could have given us King instead of May. If May can put together 22 games in 2020, we might be level.

    As a supporter Jessie disappointed me with his attitude, inĀ which i probably saw a lot of myself, with allĀ sports and work ethics. But i would be negligent if, having seen what does happen in life, without favour,Ā i cannot feel sorry for a sooky money waster if that is what he is......and i do not want people to feel sorry for me because i never had a father............Ā

    Thanks for sharing Willmoy.Ā 

    My thoughts on the bolded bits about Jesse (or anyone) isĀ I think the point that some folk are saying, is that they understand that the death of a loved onĀ is/canĀ be disruptive. It's exclusive to the conversation about how much he earns (or has nothing to do with it).

    In the end, it's Jesse's choice, Ā sometimes mortality hastens peeople to fall into line to get the best out of their situations, othertimes with the exact same experience, people go '[censored] it'

    I totally agree, I think the media is always looking for the feel good story to come to fruition, where he plays the best footy ever in tribute to his father and looks up at the sky when he kicks the match winning goal.

    Obviously people are masters of their own destiny but it's hard to argue that his personal development from the age of 17 was disruptive, unusual, and emotionally difficult. As for the money side of things my understanding is that he's on slightly less that what he potentially stood to earn at Melbourne. When we traded him out I think the club saw the writing on the walls that his injury troubles were going to continue and that what was best for both club and player was to get him home. He's now Freo's problem but I still wish him well.

    Sensationalist headline writing, he was taken to hospital only as a precaution and has been given the day off from the club. I hope heā€™s all good and that thereā€™s nothing more to this, itā€™d be nice if we could see him get a crack at fulfilling his potential.Ā

    Sounds a bit more serious than that. Hopefully he was sober

    Fremantle star Jesse Hogan has been released from hospital after flipping his car in Perthā€™s south.

    Itā€™s understood the 24-year-oldā€™s white BMW collided with a car parked in front of a retirement village along Waddell Road in Bicton.

    A nearby resident said she saw Hogan climb out of the damaged SUV, which flipped onto its side on impact.

    Yep. Could well be right. An SUV can tip easily if hit in the right spot. Would have to be going at a fair speed though.Ā

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
