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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I’d be amazed but anyone who says he isn’t missed is having a laugh, surely.

    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.

    Wouldn’t touch him. Would be a bad influence on the team and can never get on the field anyway.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
