    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
