I would take Hogan back in a heartbeat, trusting the club to nuture him. He was the closest to an A grader we had pre-max and Clayton's arrival  and can be again.

Hogan/Weideman/Jackson - scary IMO

Just a thought...

We’ve all seen the lack of connection between our midfield and forwards the last 2 years. Any chance Jesse had a reason to be upset, and actually helped cover over that glaring issue during his time at the club?

I’d love him back. We need natural competitors with skills.

yes, and plus he had a huge engine as a runner.

Was thinking the same, a second round paick sounds fair.

There may be an obvious answer to this question which escapes me right now, but who was the last player to leave Melbourne for another VFL/AFL club and then come back? Anyone since Carl Ditterich?

I appreciate that it happens rarely across the competition, although there have been some notable exceptions, such as G Ablett Jr, Paul Salmon, John Barnes and Trent Croad. But it's rare and, I suspect a guide to suggest that it won't happen this time, either. 

Crackers Keanan

Looks extremely out of shape at the moment. 

Longmuir was less than complimentary in his assessment of Hogan at the moment and his scratch match form.

Bottom Line

Jesse has loads of talent, but he doesn’t want to play at the top level enough. 
We have seen the best of his career

Not sure i'd take Jesse back, great bloke, loads of talent, but we aren't in a position, leadership wise to get the best out of someone like that. 


I'd take him back.

Great when the ball is in his hands.

Nice kick, great turning ark, difficult to tackle, big ego.

He will always be upset with others not giving him the ball and can get lost for awhile.

I think he would try hard with us if given a chance. We dealt with the many issue he had fairly and sympathetically. 

Actually I think we need him.

Our forward line would be the WA boys, Pickett, Jackson, Hogan.

Hogan could settle them in to MFC so they don't get homesick and want to return west. Something like, the grass isn't greener or better support here, etcetera. 

PS. I'd also take back Watts. I'm invested in the players that we go through.

Watty would help Gawn out.

B, nearly A graders both of them.

Wow. Hogan and Watts back. That’s not lifting the intensity index. I’m after players that will walk across nails and hot coals to get a premiership

'we need to be a rutheless club'- Yep cause getting Hogan and Watts back is going to make us a more hungry team lol

Heard that Collingwood were keen but can't for the life of me imagine how they could fit him in when they're struggling with Moore and Degoey's contracts as it is.

I'd take Jesse back, no problems.

Freo might pick up a chunk of his 2021 contract $ just free up a list spot for someone who can get on the park. 

Not sure Pies is a good place for his mental health.

Serious ? 

You guys are like the forgiving partners of a problem gambler who keeps promising to quit.

Jessie has been in the headlines again & again & barely played a game since he left us.

Sheeet we may as well re sign Jurrah & Mitch Clark while were at it

The heart wants what the heart wants.

 

 

I chop and change:

I want him back when we're playing like a dumpster fire and battling to kick 4 goals a game against bottom 5 garbage sides.

I don't want him when we're up and about and look like a half decent side with a bit of forward potency - eg - 100 points V's Collingwood.

Would be a far better forward line than the one we’ve got atm

I agree with this  - going after/inviting Hoges back. He treated him well and we know what his best is capable of. 

T.Mac out, Hoges in.

He will take the pressure off Weides & Sky Walker and allow them to develop.

Also an interesting call with Watts. He loves /loved the MFC. If he was here now he would still be one of our best kicks. I except he's soft but an enormous talent. 

Both these guys would come cheap (Hoges not so much).

We then need to draft quick outsider runners - with great kicking skills.

The only synergy between him and Collingwood is the regularity that both manage to create headlines off the field. I think he would crumble under the expectations of the magpie army.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
