Unlikely but possible. Hogan would need to get delisted first but if fit, he would be more help than a few on our list. I would welcome him back in a heartbeat if he was committed to come like Bennell was. Hogan was more stable and successful at the Dee's and he knows this. I don't think there are many clubs that would be able to help him.

    Our forward line would function so much better with Hogan.

    I’ve come to the realisation that it was a fluke and an anomaly that we won from round 22- semi final 2018 with the T Mac - Weid combo.

    Hmmmm.

     

    Poster with 12 posts announces inside info about a player wanting to come back to Dees.

     

    Some people don't handle isolation as well as others.

    There was little doubt that Hogan at his best was the X factor we needed to go deep in September. Unfortunately like most things at the MFC it was not to be.

    Bad timing, if true. If lists are to be reduced to 40 and eventually 35 as has been suggested, clubs are going to reduce the number of players they put on the list who are deemed to be either risky or project players. Hogan would have to be considered to be a risk given his foot and mental health issues. I wish him well, but if he's going to make an AFL comeback, I think it will only be with his current club.

    Beg to differ. There is considerable doubt. The fact we went deep into September without him is proof. The oft repeated stats of his MFC performances against better teams is further proof 

    This is all moot anyway, as the OP is trolling

    Highly unlikely x 100. 
    Anyway Freo would ask for Luke Jackson and the answer would be NO FU&))&N WAY 

    As we have plenty of time to think... if you had to - who would you prefer?

    The potential of Jackson on the park 

    or

    The potential of Hogan on the park

    I know very little of Hogan’s issues.  What it seem, to a complete outsider, is that being in WA has not been good for him.

    If he wanted to come back (ala Trent Croad) I would welcome him with open arms.

    Out of morbid curiosity, ding, what were some of his other monikers over the journey? Same person as Range Rover? I get all the [censored] heads mixed up.

    Jesse was playing average football in the last months before he left.

    He needed a huge turnaround if he was going to be the saviour. Poor bastard.

    The word around Perth and in footy in general is unfortunately Hogan is representative of the "mental" health plague that is affecting players that is often more relevant to abusing substances that is being managed by clubs.  Would like him back at the Dee's but it won't happen, Freo do need him on the field and I hope they help him get back on track.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
