Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

A risk worth taking. It's no accident T Macs form has dropped off in the absence of Hogan. They worked well in tandem. He is exactly what we need.

    I get that isolation has been hard on all of us, but Christ, this will never happen in a million years. Imagine Freo trying to sell it to their members:

    "Look guys, we know Hogan cost us pick 6 and a shot at drafting Ben King, but he's served us extremely well for the 12 games he played and we are happy to respect his wishes to return to the Demons. Given that his trade value has plummeted, we think Spargo and a 3rd round pick is more than a fair return."

    ummmm this post just fuels the doubt people have on your info. You post one message, saying Hogan wants to come back, that your source is Connolly, then people start asking questions then you want to smoke bomb it straight out of here. This has troll written all over it.

    Everyone knows you can just cancel it yourself.

    The leopard doesn't change its spots. When he was with us, away from his bad WA influences, he often showed disinterest and went sooking to the umps.

    That's what we'll get if he comes back.

    Huge talent, likely to be unfulfilled no matter the club. Maybe AFL-level football isn't for him.

    It would have to be a very heavily performance based contract.

    Really happy for him, like Bennell he could be someone that actually benefits from this lockdown.

    loved watching him when he was with us, sometimes with my own despair as to his performance, but cheered him anyway.

    As long as he is not starring, or Freo winning against the Dees I will cheer him on still.

    The old adage if a tree falls in the forest.. if Hogan kicks a bag in a non demon game, will there be any dee fan around to see it? I know I did not schedule any freo games into my spare time last year or will this year, so how can I cheer him on?!

    Tbh I would love to cheer him on to kick 8 against us, just to witness some decent intuitive forward craft, wrestling a defender out of the contest and taking a 1 hander. thats the kind of [censored] I can enjoy...but at the end of the day, we still get up by a point over there. Best of both worlds!

    No, not digging this up to bemoan the loss of Jesse in typical fashion.

    Just passing on that:

    Longmuir said that Hogan will play as a defender against Carlton.

    Must watch TV for me, given it was said by many that they'd like to see him tried in defense, if the Freo trade fell through and Steven May did not come. Also said when he was having a run of poor form or was sooking at teammates too often throughout his career with us.

    I saw this today, interesting thought. I often considered it to be an idea when he didn't seem to be working hard enough, but he was just so damn talented as a forward that he was always just ready to break a game open. Could be a good move for reintroducing him to league footy as well.

    That said if it were us I could picture every other fan saying that we're tanking.

    Longmuir said that Hogans to the backline is just temporary for the rest of the season as they have lost two key defenders.

    Is there any chance Jesse would return to the MFC at seasons end or is it a pipe dream?

    Imagine him slotting in next to the new and improved Weid.

    That’s just a reflection of how ridiculous the WA govt are in relation to COVID -  move on.

    Even if WA has gone a bit neurotic asking people to quarantine when they have been isolated for months AND constantly tested AND only been in low-risk states... Hogan still is accountable.

    Just glad the matter itself seems very minor. It ought to be handled as any other breach, and that actually seems to be how it is going.

    Be funny if the restrictions are lifted a bit for new arrivals the next couple of days but Hogan still has to spend another week+ getting cabin fever.

    I take it all the Eagles players are back over here stuck in quarantine for two weeks after playing their last game in QLD?

    Jesse needs to get out of Perth. He made a mistake heading back there. It’s too much of a fishbowl. I suggest the club get onto his manager to discuss how to get him back to his rightful footy home, the MFC!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
