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

Damaged goods now, he would be a 3rd or 4th rd pick.  Freo would be happy to see him go, I’d say. 
 

I’d have him back in a heartbeat.

he's been gone for days, but it's common knowledge in the playing group now. nothing less than two picks (one for May). also St Kilda offered Kent THREE TIMES $$ and years what we did. idiots.

There is a miss conception by some on Demonland.  The preferred position by our FD is and has always been for JH to stay. Let me make this point with absolute and clear authority. I have been told dir

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.

I’m not sure I agree with this, yes list sizes will shrink but having talent on your list will always be on the clubs radar.

don't take kindly to negativity

my source is Chris Connolly and  few others, need i say more.

 

wheels are in motion

I wonder when the media will read demonland again and report on fox that this is in motion as a possibility. 
 

If what u r saying is true bizzell and I generally give the benefit of the doubt to new posters unless proven otherwise, then Hogan would need to remove that big chip on his shoulder, adjust his attitude and chase and tackle like he has never before. Also stop throwing his arms in the air pleading for free kicks. 
 

Time will tell if u r on the money.

*why can't we have both Gif*

Agreed because Jackson can play many positions / roles and at the heat line down the ground, we'd have two highly mobile, marking-running-athletic-ball winners of note. We now have the smalls in support for the loose balls.

Connolly is a Demon, through and through; played tall, contributed tall, single-minded intent for the Club. If he is onboard with this, I'd believe it, very strongly.

Jesse.?

And lets take  'Offa',  Watts his face back,  at the same time.   Maybe we can call back Carol,  and Chips Frawley,  he's nearly cooked.

I can only think of one player who left us and came back again. That's Carl Ditterich (who may be unique in the VFL/AFL having done that with two clubs). Have there been any others who left and came back as players?

Edit: Did Gary Hardeman do that or did he play with a non-VFL side?

Really? That seems a little soft. In these trying times we all need to show a little more resilience. Seems you are running away a little early. If you have good info, stick by it and ride out those that question it. They are just trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. So long at at isn't abusive don't take it to heart.

Hope your info is correct. Would be great to have a fit and healthy Hogan back at the Demons!

Ignore the negative feedback, just part of the fun on Demonland (some posters vitriol is hilarious if you can view it the way that a lot of social media should be treated!)

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

Surely going deep into September means being competetive against any of the best 3 teams (WCE, Coll or Rich) in a prelim

All we did was beat Geelong and Hawthorn.

No, but they've certainly not even been close to being grand final worthy teams since 2015 in the Hawks case and 2013 in Geelongs. Bit of a stretch to plan our future premiership attack on a forward line that defeated them both in 2018

 

Im beginning to think there may have been some truth in the Clarko quip about dancing fron the rooftops.

Hawthorn finished the HA season a game clear in 4th.

It was a very good win.

Yes, but i am only disputing that we went deep into September. Producing some kind of competitive performance verging on an epic tussle, win or lose, is surely a better criteria of depth than just making a prelim. Showing up in the 3rd week in more than just name.

Did The Roos go deep into September in 2014 and 2015? People scarcely will remember they were even there.

The more i see people whip out this 4 week block as our measuring stick, the more i am repelled and feel like the real foundational hard work came from winning 10-12 matches in the 3 seasons leading into it. You only have to look at 2019 to see how fast it can all crumble with the advent of improved teams league wide

Which brings us back to the question of Jesse and the work HE DID in that period from 2016-2018. Why are we so quick to devalue it? 

If he can return to that, how much is he worth to us in light of our current woes. Probably a lot more value than an inconsistent season from Gus again.

Didn't say that. You are putting words into my mouth unnecessarily. 

Those that think Hogan would take us deep into September are living in la-la land. His well discussed record against better teams says it all.

Wish him well, but he will remain an unfulfilled talent.

Freo can have Spargo and a bag of chips, welcome back Hoges. 

Why would anyone think that Freo (or any club for that matter) would be remotely interested in Spargo?

And a bag of chips? Wedges perhaps.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
