Well if the clubs list managers knew that Jess was going to have a season ending  mid year injury then  I do have a lot more faith in them .He not the club instituted the move back to WA and we accepted a lop sided trade  in return.I am dismayed by the patent schadenfreude being displayed in  this thread .He has done nothing to merit this.There is absolutely no evidence that's been produced to suggest his problem is career  ending as much as some wish this to be the case..We have nothing  remotely as talented as Jesse  in the forwards and I would have him back in a heartbeat.

The MFC was very good at covering for Hogan throughout his time at Melbourne.  He regularly presented them with off-ground challenges regarding his behaviour.

And it's not like Freo weren't aware he had issues, which is why Bell nearly backed out at the trade table.

While the club would have been happy to retain a fully committed Hogan they knew what they were doing by letting him go.

He and Hardie have a show where they rabbit on over rubbish calls all the time.. you don’t live in WA so you’re not exposed to it but as usual you’ll cherry pick an internet article here and there to pack your pipe.

Hardie called only three days ago that we wouldn’t sign Bennell, Hagdorn has made some ridiculous calls over the years. He’s won an award? In today’s journalism standards how is that even worthy of acknowledgement from an anonymous forum poster?

LOL. Keep it going big fella.  

The moment the club posted video of Topper Harley kicking goal from the boundary it was obvious we would sign him.

Can u elaborate on what the supposed wrong doings are mandee?

No but if you do a little searching there's plenty being said. I would expect most of it to be wrong, but some self proclaimed eye witnesses are saying he is in some personal trouble. I hope he is OK

 

I really hope Jesse gets the right help. My impression was that he had solid friends at the Dees who helped him a lot and I doubted a return to Perth was the answer.  

Pre-season supplementary selection still possible.

The question is, would Hogan be an effective top-up to cover Nietske?

Jesse needs a full on incentive based contract. 
I wonder if he would return to the MFFC if the carrot ? was dangled?

Right now I don't think carrots will work. It would appear he is just in a bad space. Rational thought is simply not there. He needs professional help, I hope he is getting it.

I think you are making the mistake of thinking that everyone is driven by money or other incentives. It's just not the case as evidenced by Tom Boyd.

Everyone is different.

Justin Longmuir out of Fremantle Dockers coaching race: Hagdorn

Nowhere have I talked about Hardie.

I'm not sure why you're bringing him up other than to try and continue the personal gripe you seem to have with me for some reason.

Posters, I'm assuming including yourself now, were calling Hagdorn a 'hack' and saying he's not connected, wouldn't know anything etc, so I pointed out it was only a few years ago he won a pretty well respected media award for his news breaking work.

But cool, let's just continue with the 'all media are hacks' and 'I hate people on the internet I've never met' narratives because that's really mature.

I’m not the one making up stories here, Lord Irony.

Did you read the article or just the headline mate?

"Radio 6PR sports reporter Kim Hagdorn revealed on Friday Longmuir had other options and might now be lost to the Dockers."

“Adelaide also want to talk to Justin Longmuir urgently,” he said.

Hagdorn said that if he was out of the race, the Dockers could move forward with an appointment faster as they would not be waiting for Longmuir’s Magpies finals mission to finish before he could engage in the interview process.

The Answer is YES

FWIW I  have heard that part of the problems Jesse might have involve some falling outs with several high profile Freo players !

Would have him back in a heartbeat!

Footy , back at the Dees might well be part of the solution he needs!

Edited by picket fence

Two hacks walked into a studio.

Speaking with Kane Cornes, Hagdorn said the club was at such a “frustration” with the 24-year-old that they were considering all their options to cut ties ahead of the new season.

“I’m not tip-toeing around it as much as others,” he said on SEN Mornings.

“I do understand how officials at Fremantle and even those at AFL House (are sensitive about this) – it’s probably the AFL’s biggest issue is the mental health concerns amongst some of the athletes.

“I think Fremantle are at such a frustration with Jesse Hogan that even considering all that, they’ll have to come to an agreement where he vacates the club for a very long period of time and ultimately I don’t think he’ll be going back to Fremantle at all.

“A player with mental health issues can be put on a long-term injury list and then be reconsidered at a due time well down the track and a player can replace him.

“Ultimately, I don’t think Jesse Hogan is in a position to play football with Fremantle again. Not only has it become a major issue, his habits away from the club which have unfortunately been fairly public over the last 11 months.

“Now it’s gotten beyond the playing group, the senior players and now even new senior coach Justin Longmuir, who I understand, are of the view that we should move Jesse (Hogan) on.”

FMD Hackdorn won an award, as you're aware McQueen from listening to 6PR he is off the mark more often than not.

I am only saying IF Jesse wishes to continue his career in the AFL. If he does not, his career is over

The romantic in me would love to see Jesse back at Melbourne, clean up his act with help from his mates here and play a big part in our success.

This is the sort of stuff that won this bloke an award?

Must've been the Logies of the Journalism world.

Jesse Hogan has taken time away from football to deal with mental health problems. He has not quit the game, nor has he been asked to quit by the club.

Neither are the Dockers poised to do so any time soon.

l wonder if some players are better away from their home states where they socialise and rely more on the friendships they form with other players at their club and benefit from the underlying peer group influences. jeff farmer also had many more issues when he went home.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
