absolutely, was leading b and f before getting injured in his last season with us. still my favourite opposition player to watch

Sadly I think the MFC have moved on. I would be astounded if he returned to the MFC. 

 

still interested to know where Hagdon got his information. 
who knows what is being discussed internally at this stage.

He got it from the same place Hardie got the info that MFC signing Bennell was “unlikely”. His arse.

I don’t even need to be from WA to know the reputation these guys have for never letting the truth get in the way of a good story. Toss in Karl Langdon and you have the perfect trifecta of tiny WA fish trying not to get eaten in the small pond, battling for relevance.

WA is not the only state to have parasites in their pond.

Quite Possible. But he heard something, that something may be unreliable, but even hack journo’s don’t make up stories. 
being wrong or misinformed is different to making things up out of thin air. 
these guys are on the phone all day. 
 

The story may well be done and dusted, but if it isn’t i wouldn’t be at all suprised either. 
i say that because i worked along side Journo’s for many years. Sources can be hot and cold

Oh, but didn't get you hear? They are 'award' winners!

Among the worst things you can face when you're dealing with anxiety and mood types of mental illness is losing your best support (dad dying), getting false 'support' from the people you think you should be able to turn to and who you set yourself to rely on (my impression of Freo's behaviour) and having strangers constantly speculating and catastrophising about your whole career and life going off the rails (various media and randoms).

Poor guy needs to spend three years playing local footy and working on a farm. Not to give himself time so much as to give everyone else time to calm down.

Ideally at Todd Viney's farm, come to think of it.

Hi all
It sounds like attempt by Freo to send a message to Jesse.

Get with the program or walk.

I think Jones had a strong and positive influence on Jesse to keep him in the straight and narrow. But, I believe Freo didn't have the same support systems for players.

A great talent possibly the best FF ever if he can pull he head in and believe in himself without [censored] and etc.

I miss him in red and blue.

A true beast in midfield and half forward. Just look at his work at Melbourne in 2018. And, people wonder why Melbourne struggled in 2019.

A young bloke trying to find his way.

I want to see him back on the field with a good support group including his teammates.

Whether Freo or whoever.

Prove me right Jeese.

Thankfully not. Neither does Hagdon as far as i know. The AFL is a small Bubble, too many outright lies and he will lose his job. All journalists get stuff right and wrong, we have not had a definitive statement from anyone yet. 
i would keep the door open a little longer, but that is my opinion. I have heard Hagdon a few times. He is on a par with Dwayne for mine.

He never had any disciplinary problems at the Dee's, has not been able to cope with his foot injury, and going back to WA to a 2 team town can make it worse the. Media can hound you down

Not sure about that...

This can't be right.. Hackdorn said otherwise right?

Fremantle football boss Peter Bell called Hogan’s manager, Jason Dover, and Hogan’s family on Wednesday and said it wasn’t happening.

The Dockers and Dover were frustrated and mildly angry with what they believe was scuttlebutt from a Perth-based journalist.

He put 2 and 2 together and got 5, that's all I'll say on it.

If he did that, he is a fool and should lose his job. I know he probably won’t, but he should. 
the only thing i will say is other outlets ran with it as well, so somebody heard something. 
you are much closer than us to the Perth Media, so i take your posts on board. 
but if Hagdon made it up out of thin air, the Hogan family should ring a good lawyer and take him down. 
Someone is going to take their life, if these scenarios continue.

I was involved with some of that before i got out. Although our stories were always fact checked before going out, i concede that

Ricky Nixon makes up stories on Twitter, and I suppose some may regard that as a source....

This is the really damaging and potentially dangerous thing about those footy journalists proclaiming what they had heard from the cousin of the best mate of the Freo boot studder. Whether or not there is truth to it we are dealing with a young man who is struggling with mental health issues and has recognised he needs to take time out to get himself right. 

As I said earlier, broadcasting these claims (whether they happened or not) to the world before Jesse and his family have had the chance to sit down and discuss it with the club does nothing but bad things for his mental health. It's disgusting disregard from Hagdon to not consider the person before starting down this path.

He might well have played his last game of footy, and you know what I would completely understand that decision after this latest garbage from the media.

It would also be equally despicable if Freo had the discussions that they have now refuted. The report is damaging to Hogan but also to Freo. Bell is a lawyer. If he is 100% in the clear he should follow the example our President set in response to gutter WA journalism and start defamation proceedings if for no other reason than to get a public apology from Hagdorn along the lines of “his source was unreliable and the story was incorrect”.

If Freo don’t follow that path the damaging speculation, which is not helping Hogan’s mental health, will continue.

If it was a total fabrication then I would think they might be a bit more than mildly angry...

They're are a weird mob at Freo.

Good point rjay, you may be mildly angry to get caught, but you'd be furious if it was made up.

I thought that was a really weird choice of words too jay. Is it meant to be a quote or is an interpretation ie they said they were angry but were chuckling at the time.

I mean mildly andgray? Wouldn't they be livid?

It might just be me, but I'm slowly warming to Peter Bell since his feather in cap moment in 2018. It gets lost sometimes with supporters that clubs generally go over and above when it comes to player welfare.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
