Your opening contribution amounted to saying thatĀ positive responses are all due to romanticism around it being Jesse Hogan. The implication being that anyone in favour of the idea is not looking at it logically.Ā It doesnā€™t get much more dismissiveĀ than that.

Iā€™d be surprised if they traded him back but that doesnā€™tĀ mean it couldnā€™t happen.

Yes, I gave my opinion. Can you quote where I said 'you're not thinking straight'?

    Yes!!!! He still has so much footy ahead of him.Ā 

    No for me as I think he has not much footy left in him. Appears from afar he does not have the desire.

    Plus I'm happy with the Weid and a fit Jacko who will turn heads big time next season. Add in Kozzie and our other small/medium forwards where in the hell would you play him even if in a good sound position health wise.

    Iā€™ve explained how that is what you were doing. Or at least, that seemed to very much be the message.

    Moving on.

    For a cheap price I'd have him back..Ā  Ā It seems he had far better support and network while at Melbourne and he played better (less injury). Lots of players struggle when they go to Freo and I think there is something wrong with their internal culture and it seems to not help players.Ā  Ā  Ā

    No thanks.

    Heā€™s been a circus forĀ a couple of years now.

    Aside from Spargo and Pickettā€™s COVIDā€™s indiscretions, it sounds like weā€™ve got a squad that has their head switched on,Ā free fromĀ off field distraction and want this club to be successful.

    Jesse clearly has some pretty serious off field stuff going on that the club is aware of, so depending on what that is i'd be open to it.Ā 

    if we could get him for a pick around 40 ish. there is noone in this draft at that area with half as much talent as Jesse.Ā 

    if we think we can get him right and he's happy to come back i think we'd be silly not to back ourselves to get him back firing again.Ā 

    in the first half of 2018 he was probably all australian before injuries cut him down. it wasn't so long ago he was playing fantastic footy.Ā

    Agreed.

    If the club thinks it's a good idea given what they know, I'd back them to make the right call.

    A switched on, powerful Jesse wouldĀ add something to our team. His lack of tackling pressure always annoyed me, but get that right and he's a real talent.

    The last two years are irrelevant IMO if he can get his head right. He'll play good footy again once/if his head is back in the game.

    of the 22 tomorrow i'd have him replacing t mac in a nanosecond

    Ā 

    Interesting this one.

    With tomorrow's side, Tom can at least ruck. I'd prefer to keep Weideman forward rather than throwing him into the ruck.Ā 

    It's a problem we don't have to worry about at the moment. I'd probably play Tomlinson in the ruck and replace Tom with Jesse, but only with a Jesse willing to do the hard yards RE forward pressure and defensive acts.

    true

    he's just a natural forward for mine; n an ideal world you'd find a way to accommodate tom for that relief ruck role but i'm unsure who'd go out

    fortunately jesse's best football for us he was an aerobic beast so he may well have replaced the likes of jones in that forward pushing up role

    anyway, doesn't matter at the moment

    i'm all in the 'if we think his head is right and we can fix his body, get him back' camp

    How much of a pay cut would Jesse take because I would much prefer Williams. I can't see how we can fit both in. We don't need him really.

    Yes that could also be a reason. But a club with good support could manage that. Ā Plus he'd be away from his buddies!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus Oā€™Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, thereā€™s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbellā€™s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
