Farewell Jesse Hogan

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,281]

Here's to this thread reaching the ton ?

Must mean there's something in it... Jonesey basically just said as much

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.

Well done thread. Got your life membership.

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

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,925]

Every Melbourne player in their media appearances of late arent confident in having him in 2019.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

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. 

[layzie 28,723]

It sounds like they are in the dark as we are.

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

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,925]

Not a chance Jonesy doesnt know anything

[Jibroni 4,055]

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

Just Confirmed on channel 7 Hogan gone to Freo for two first round picks

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.

[layzie 28,723]

Think that might be over and out. 

[Jibroni 4,055]

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

[Engorged Onion 9,262]

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

[DeeZee 6,732]

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

[Damo 2,988]

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

[layzie 28,723]

Luke Darcy stinks but he might have something here. 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I hope we are also seriously looking at trying to get Lachie Neale as part of the trade (along with a first round pick) as well as luring Tom Lynch as a free agent.

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

[daisycutter 28,509]

well he certainly ain't going to heave-ho to win a premiership
