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. 

Massive yes, but not at any price.

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.

what about MOOOODeeerrrAAHHH .. Tony was on one leg?

And, Peter Bell went on to cap the Freddos?

 


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

Not unless it was for almost nothing

Too much baggage now. 
in 2 years his career has gone to zero

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

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
