Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?

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.

    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!

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
