Your opening contribution amounted to saying that 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. It doesn’t get much more dismissive than that.

I’d be surprised if they traded him back but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen.

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

    Not sold on him the first time. 

    Character issues?  Once bitten.  We move on.

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

    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.

    I’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..   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.

    No thanks.

    He’s been a circus for a couple of years now.

    Aside from Spargo and Pickett’s COVID’s indiscretions, it sounds like we’ve got a squad that has their head switched on, free from 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. 

    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. 

    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. 

    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.

    Or possibly their extraordinary off field activities, distractions and other temptations D72?

    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 would 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.

    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. 

    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.  Plus he'd be away from his buddies!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
