Farewell Jesse Hogan

[Demonland 66,428]

Thought this thread deserved a 12,000th post.

Well done Jesse.

[Guest]

Absolutely stoked for Jess today.

While I would most want him playing with us, Sydney (and especially GWS) might be a blessing for him. No pressure will be on him in a part of Australia where he can go to the milkbar or pub and not get hassled.

The last high profile Demon who went there I have no time for. This one I have nothing but love for still. ??

Well done Jesse, hope he can get his career (and life) back on track. Wil always have a soft spot for the big fella.

Onya Jesse!

Preuss wishes he has a profile.

 

.

P.S.  I quite liked the big PREUUUUUS.  Also hope he gets a break with injuries and gets out on the park, although I'd also worry that GWS are starting to look pretty good as a side again, so perhaps he can take his time a bit too.

I thought you were talking about Darren Jolly

I was wondering why Preuss wasn’t getting a game at GWS. I tuned out completely over the PS and didn’t realise he’d had a shoulder reconstruction. First time he’s had a real shot at a #1 ruck spot. Unlucky!

2018 and Jesse flying doesn’t feel like that long ago, but he’s hit some pretty low lows since then. He’s still only 26 and has time to reach his potential if he has the will and the luck. I hope he’s able to. He’s certainly off to a good start at GWS.

If he was fit he'd be getting games ahead of the mummy, no doubt about that for me.

The universal love on here for Jesse is heartwarming.

Also heartwarming is this story of how he has settled into Mummy's family life, courtesy of Mummy's granny flat.  how-mumford-and-sons-became-hogan-s-heroes

I must admit I was worried early this year when I read he had moved into Mummy's granny flat given the 'white powder' stories about Mumford a few years ago mumford-breaks-silence   Now, it seems to be working well for everyone. 

Other than when he stayed with a Dees host family when first coming over as a 17 year old, he would not have had much in the way of family life or the support, comfort and structure such provides.  As he became independent and life's trials beset him its understandable that he became somewhat directionless, or least that is how it looks from the outside.

Now he is 26 the age where he and others are maturing.  He has shown true grit and resilience to endure all that he has and be on the cusp of fulfilling his potential.  I am rapt that he has found a 'home' with Mummy's family (an ironic nickname in the context of this story) and will delight in watching him play (except against us). 

Overall, I just hope Jesse is happy ?.  Just love the guy ❣️

Wish him nothing but the best. Was disappointed to see him go and would have welcomed him back but on reflection the club made the right call.

If he can settle and start enjoying his footy he can be a real weapon for the Giants. Him and Greene operating in the same forward line will give opposition defences' plenty to think about.

Looked in great shape. Played well.

Great effort for a third club.

Hope he goes gangbusters since we have already played gws.

Rd 16 at the G

So a couple months he can have some form.

Good work Jesse. Quality young man. Hope his world improves and he enjoys his footy.

Good luck to him.  3 on the weekend and maybe will snag a few against Sydney.  I wish him all the best, just not if they happen to meet us in the coming weeks :)

Could he make a comeback to the MFC in 2023 and finish off his career where it started?

Won't let me open full article but the caption by Hogan is interesting.

Interesting he laments leaving the dees and that watching us win a flag was "torture"

In a sliding doors world and he was still with us, I wonder who would have made way for him from the grand final team.

If he was still with us there would be no Ben Brown. 

That would have been Hogan's spot.

Or perhaps there would be no Tom McDonald. Hogan and Brown are very different players. 

Hogan plays best roaming further from goal. In all likelihood if he was still with us McDonald would have been traded and so would Weideman

Who knows.

A fit Ben Brown and Jesse Hogan in the same forward line would have been one tantalising combo.

[PaulRB 6,041]

Would have him back in a flash.
