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?

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.

You blokes are drinking and/or dreaming too much understandable in current climate wish Hoges all the best but 2018 proved we didn’t need him to finally make the finals or go deep it was a good trade for us he won’t be coming back move on we have the talent no excuses now sorry might be harsh we made the finals and he won’t be coming back to Melbourne

A little punctuation might help your post be understood better. From the little I can put together, I believe you are actually agreeing with my comment?????

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
