Where has this been reported? Not attacking you, just curious.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
