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.

  • 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 Fullarton’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 Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’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 wasn’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 team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. 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. Since that game, the Demons’ 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 they’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 ‘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. Sunday’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?
