Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

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. ??

    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 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!

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
