Every year Freo are reported to make a big pitch for a key forward.  Same as every year SA teams made a pitch for Pavlich to return to SA, he never did.  Hogan aerobic ability is huge for a key player, he does not need to play close to goal, true modern KP fwd.

    ok fair enough. I'll put it all on the table.

    strengths: -1 on 1 marking (although not as good as a few seasons ago)

    - aerobic capacity allows him to play multiple positions.

    - goal kicking prowess: potential to kick 60 goals a season.

    weaknesses

    - defensive pressure.

    -on field attitude

    - goal kicking accuracy

    - performances against top teams. 

    i weigh all of these up and believe that nothing is more important than attitude. And that trumps all talent, especially when building a winning culture. 

    On field attitude? duh [censored].

    Goal kicking accuracy? fixable and still one of the better kicks in the league

    performances against top teams? better teams and better defences double teaming a 23 year old forward hmmm

    "A bombshell is about to hit the lead-up to the AFL trade period with star Melbourne forward Jesse Hogan set to play with Fremantle next year if the Dockers are successful in their multimillion-dollar bid to lure the West Australian home."

    Writing "bombshell" and that he is "set to play" at Fremantle is designed purely to be quoted on Twitter and forums and social media, but what he's actually saying is "Fremantle are interested in Hogan". Wow. Breaking news there.

    Complete click-bait rubbish, which is classic Greg Denham (a pathetic attempt at a journalist, IMO. Genuinely cannot stand the man).

    Is May even that good? I don't see Hogan out May in being an improvement to the side at all

    If May is involved. The only way I see this trade happening is.

    GC -

    Out: May and 1st round pick

    In: Neale and possibly Freo 2nd rounder

    MFC

    Out: Hogan

    In: May and GC 1st round pick

    Freo

    Out: Neale and 2nd round pick.

    In: Hogan

    I wouldn't be mad at that whatsoever. We aren't that much better off as a team with Hogan in. And he has some annoying traits that I would've expected to see him get on top of (stupid run up for set shots, whinging to umpires etc). 

    May on the other hand will make us better immediately and may be a key for our shot at the flag next year. Fascinating stuff.

    Nothing to see here folks. Jesse hogan will be suiting up in the red and blue round 1 2019. Steven may will not.

    I think an important thing to know that many people don't, is that Hogan and Fyfe are super close mates.

    Like saying 'day-time would instead be night-time if there was no sun'.

    [censored] article by Denham (surprise surprise), aimed at getting as many clicks from the lowest possible denominator. Gutter journalism at its finest.

    Not that instagram=friendship, but they don't even follow each other on instagram...

     

    and it is just as important to note that hogan and brayshaw, hogan and oliver, hogan and etc., are super close mates. I am not sure if a friendship with Nat Fyfe will ultimately determine whether or not Jesse will be heading to Freo or not.

    I would take May for Hogan. Our backline would be soooo much stronger with May and Lever in it. Weid holds his spot up forward with McDonald.

  • Quote

    I have said it before and I will say it again.

    HOGAN IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

    Some facts:

    • The FD does not want to trade him even for overs
    • JH does not want to leave
    • JH is a required MFC player
    • JH is contracted

    Every year we have this conversation, its getting boring.

    If last weeks loss to the Eagles only taught us one thing, it was how much we need Hogan.

    The Drums are certainly beating.

    It will happen if the deal is good enough.

    May for Hogan is laughable by the way. Key Forwards are worth 2 low first rounders (top 6) or their equivalent. May and a low first rounder is doable if the list committee think we need May.

    Personally I'd prefer a strong outside mid.

    So would I, I may be in the minority but I'm a massive fan of Steven May. 

    Lot of the knocks on him are his aggression:  getting suspended and giving away a lot of free kicks, but by god who wouldn't have anger problems playing for Gold Coast.

    I think we are better side with May instead of Hogan when taking into account relative KPF and KPD stocks.

    Trading is simple, if your club will benefit from the trade you need to have a serious look at it.  I'm not for trading Hogan, key forwards are pretty rare but if Fremantle are silly enough to offer two picks inside the top 10 for him and he is willing to go it needs to be considered if you have a May lined up with the deal and a spare first round pick that could be offered to GWS for a Whitfield/Kelly.  Adding May and one of those two GWS players this deal would be done in a heartbeat

    Hogan would have got cold waiting for the ball last week just like Weideman

    Why?

    I'm not so certain that Brayshaw is what we need by the way...

    But, back to your point. Hogan is worth a lot to Freo and to us.

    If we're going to give him up we will need substantial compensation.

    The issue with this is that GC will be thinking the same thing for May.  

    Im not sure 1 pick will get it done

    Same article thats recycled every season before the trade period.

    Jesse must laugh his ass off.

    I would be playing Hogan off Half Back in 2019. I don’t think we have seen the best of Jesse yet. Not by a long shot. 

    Personally i don’t think his kicking is good enough to be a key forward. 

    But i certainly wouldn’t be trading him for pick 6

     No he wouldn’t have, he would have moved up the ground into the midfield or wings and probably down back to help stem the flow. As he did numerous times this season.

    The only drums beating I think are in people’s heads. I just can’t see it happening but who the hell knows. If it does I think it would be a big loss (depending on the return) and think he is a valuable asset to keep long term.

    Hogan can play up the ground.  That is half the point, the other half is the need for multi key forwards to win finals.  I know thr Tigers won a GF with just 1 Key Forward but look through all the Premiership teams and they mostly have 2 plus a floater.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
