Given it’s officially the crazy season, I’ll put forward that the MFC look for a Croad like return for our prodigal son, Jess “the HULK” Hogan...

maybe not this year... or even next year but then bring him home...

He'd wanna get on the park a bit more next year...

Haha

I'm waiting for the bring back Scully / Trengove & Toumpas threads

 

Jesse was much loved. It’s a fair call but wildly optimistic.   It will depend on his family and his heart ... and his body.  I worry that he is injury prone and the footy world may not ever see him at his very very best.

Be careful what you wish for... 


Oh FFS, just what we need, the constant speculation of his off field behaviour and the go home factor all over again.

‘Basil’ (as he’s known as over here) is loving being back in the west close to family and friends, won’t happen, ever. 

I was over in Perth for work about a month ago and spoke to several freo supporters. None of them are very impressed with Hogan. They don’t hold high hopes of him being a consistent performer. 


He left us with a navicular problem and it derailed his season.

They are a shocking injury and have ended careers.

He reinjured it as well in the game against us, hopefully he gets it right, hate seeing players careers ruined by injury

With you on this, and I bet theres plenty of other Demon supporters whod love to bring him back 'home' to the MFC.

No idea if its realistic or not and how hes liking being back in Perth but geez it would be nice to get him.

His season so far has been bog ordinary.

I live in Perth now and that is the consensus from the Freo people I speak to. Supporters feel they have been  duped again after McCarthy and brought home another lemon. So far this season he has been very ordinary and I am sure they would be happy to pass the problem child back to us.

It's not Hogan we miss, it's what he does. He ain't coming back whether he wants to or not, but there are a couple of options in the free agent market this year. Needs to be our main focus this offseason.

That's a stupid comment. We don't miss hogan, just everything that he offered, which we haven't looked close to replacing.

Well all I can say is our forward line has been shizen since he left. Draw what cinclusions you want.

In order of preference (for mine anyway), J.Cameron, Casboult, Daniher.

That is a fact, no doubt

Completely stagnated

Cameron would be awesome - will never come to us, probably Collingwood or even Carlton or Essendon.

Daniher and Casboult? No [censored] way!! If the club signed either of those two hacks I would be done.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
