Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?

I wouldn't say on the way out, as the article just talks about his trouble getting into the 22, but you can see how they've added 2 and 2 to get 4 here.

On large coin until 2021.  Would the club look at him again if he became available?  You would doubt it, plus you wouldn't make a move until the end of next year so you could get him on a more reasonable contract.

It's such a shame the way things have gone for him.  He is a highly talented player who was capable of kicking 50 goals a season.  Now he can't crack an average Freo side.

    In a heartbeat at a Bennell rate.

    Like  Michigan J Frog, Hogan is destined to become someone else’s problem.

    I agree, but does he want it enough?

    If Freo jumped off him after two years then you would have to question what is going on with him, especially considering that they gave up Pick 6 to get him.  He should be in the prime of his career right now and he can't get a game.  That has to be a concern.

    I’d take him but you wouldn’t want to give up much for him, has hardly played for 2-3 years.

    Has anyone actually done any good at the Frogs after being recruitment from another club?

    Depends on the 'baggage'.

    I heard they’re playing him in defence at training, is there any particular reason for this? I’d be keen to know where is mind is at before looking at bringing him back. 

    Coulf be a Mitch Clark situation where the damage has been done.

    Too true. Rough ride in life thats for sure. I suppose I forget at times that despite the fame and fortune most of these blokes are just young men under a great deal of stress , injuries and spotlights. Throw in family loss and cancer and this bloke has done it tough.

    Id have him back but he's lost a lot of his value. I wonder sometimes if just going back and playing footy for fun at a lower level is the best way for some players to go.

    Wish him the best wherever he goes.

    I fear his best years are behind him. Will remain an unfulfilled talent.

    Happy for the trade where we got pick 6 and 23.

    Good luck to him in the future, but not in the red and blue.

    It’s a concern and it would be buyer beware. But we know with Hoges that 95% of the battle is mental. He’s not a happy man up there and it’s showing. The lure of family and friends clearly hasn’t translated the way he may have hoped. He’d be in familiar surrounds at the club where he knows he has produced his best football.

    Id be shocked to see it happen but acquiring Bennell was a shock and very unMelbourne-like so you never know.

    would have him back happily, but i have zero idea how much baggage he comes with

    when my mum told me that he was being 'trialed' as a defender for freo's b team during this hub life i thought that's the most pointless thing i've ever heard of; he's the most 'natural' key forward since hawkins, knows where to run, when to lead, how to position his body...playing a player like him in defence makes zero sense

    it's not as if he's a first year forward and yr teaching him leading patterns etc - he was so good at that from the the get go, and such a great contested mark

    loved watching him for the dees

    Except his said shot at goal sometimes. One of those players who you didnt mind doing well at another club for some reason.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
