Farewell Jesse Hogan

Devil In Disguise
in Melbourne Demons

Stop biting and posting junk he will not be heading to the Suns, think it's this week he flies to Europe and everything is now between the clubs.

Don't expect it to be done quickly either with many clubs going to be involved in the interchange of picks where Freo end up with two first rounders and Hogan not being their only target this season but he is the priority.

    Nathan Jones on 7 game day had an opportunity to hose it down and didn't take it.

    To those who saw the Jones interview, can anyone give a quick run down on what was said? 

    Sounds like both Lever and Jones have had a chance to shoot down the rumours and they haven't taken it.

    Claimed unconvincingly it was the first he'd heard of the idea.

    Said Jesse has been through a lot personally, that it was an individual decision and he would support him in whatever decision he makes.

    Thanks, mate. Appreciate it! 

    You would like to hold out some hope that he is actually in the dark about it all, but these guys spend way too much time together to not have some sort of idea about it.

    Love it when the  last train to Clarkesville suddenly becomes the 5.15 to Upfield !!

    I commend that discussion has embraced the wotif factor but surely the only scenario that holds any water is that he goes back to the western coast .  Otherwise...why is he leaving ? Granted ....you can be mercenary anywhere  but I truly dont think thats his motive so much as the icing on an idea he's harboured for some time.

    meanwhile...Flinders St !!! all change

    Yes I would be shock if the players/coaching staff did not know his intentions for 2019 and beyond.

    Confirmed is a bit strong

    Darcy said he had good mail that's what is on the cards. Jones stumbled unconvincingly around the Hogan leaving bit, said nothing about the return currency

    I took it as it's almost certain he's gone. Deal to be finalised.

    Surely Luke Darcy you would not go on National TV and declare he is gone without a solid source.

    Sad day as I was hoping he would stay, the kid has serious talent.

    So on the return match, will the members boo him, or applaud him ....

    He said it was breaking news and wouldn’t say it on national tv if not true.

    Luke Darcy would and has said anything he likes. I must admit I don't like him at all.

    He's the captain you think he doesn't know what's going on? Hogan is gona 100%

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
