Goodwin and the club consciously got rid of him and it wasn’t just because he wanted to go home. Not going to happen.

Correct. The reasons he was traded by us, are the same reasons another trade by Freo is a possibility.

    If we can't get Brown then I would go for Hogan.

    Best excuse ever!

     

    He should have stayed in Victoria. Sure, he may have been fined but apparently wouldn't have to pay. 

    Instead, if news.com.au can be believed, he now has a conviction against his name.

    From the ABC site:

    Quote

     

    Mr Dobson applied for Hogan to be granted a spent conviction order, which would have meant the offence would not be recorded against him.

    He said one of the reasons for the application was "problems looming in terms of Hogan's employment" and the prospect that he "might end up living out his life in a rugby state where he would never be known."

     

    While I doubt the 'rugby state' reference indicates a likely new club for Hogan, I am puzzled why his conviction or not should be relevant to moving to NSW or QLD.    Reads like states can ban people from other states with convictions which is nonsense  Good luck going to the USA though.

    So Colonwood would be a perfect destination then.

    Jesse Hogan back at the Dees for pick 62.  
    Unfortunately Jesse has ongoing mental and physical issues that require high maintenance with specialists required. 
    His body language and work ethic is priority number 1 to get him in the right mindset to compete.  
    We may already have seen the best of Jesse.  He would be another project !!

    What a sad end to one of most promising careers I can recall. 

    Zero chance we would even consider him. Football is the least of his worries

    And in that time his contested marking improved markedly!

    He seems to spend more time fighting his inner demons than playing like a demon that we all know he can if he could control his head. 
    Alas it wasn’t to be , shame, because he could’ve been something really special indeed.

    I'm probably in a minority here but if Brown were to choose someone else as his desired club I would be quite ok with us luring Jesse back to us, as long he didn't cost us a lot. 

    Say whatever you like about him but while he was in Melbourne and fit to play he performed to a high level most weeks. And really the biggest (most consistent) off-field distraction was always to do with when he would be going back to WA. If he came BACK to us surely that would put those questions questions to bed.

    I've got zero doubts that he's got internal demons he's fighting, but is he actually better in WA? Seems like he's got worse looking from the outside in.

    Needs a year out of football.

    Has been in AFL since the age of 17....needs a break

    Always amazed that long term injury players hang around the club. Perfect opportunity with mentoring support to develop as a person

    Hindsight’s a beautiful thing but I think he should’ve stayed in WA until after he was 18. We could still draft him and perhaps assign him to a WAFL club for development while he might pop over to Melbourne every now and then for updates and the chance to meet other players and coaches. But I think plucking him out of his home state at such a young age wasn’t good for his development as a human.

    Ahhh the joys of living in a social media “enhanced” world where players live inside a Fish bowl with the public scrutinising their every move...

    Do you think Wayne Carey, Garry Abblet Snr and Swartz had no demons To deal with, and never indulged in their preferred coping mechanism.. or two? 
    But they did ok on the field, you could even argue it helped them...

    Jesse kicked 50+ with reduced games in the last season we made finals... has issues, yes.

    Would have him back in a heartbeat.

    There is the problem, we all look from outside in and don't know what is really going on. Those looking from inside out, find him too difficult and disruptive to a team game and culture.

    Never heard a word about him being a disruptive influence at all while he was with us. Liked to let his hair down now and again but jeez that hardly makes him disruptive. His body language was poor at times but you could say the same thing about Oliver. Clubs seem to want robots these days.

    Fremantle have a poor record of managing players. Plus a new coach comes in this year with his own ideas. Tabernor comes good all of a sudden. He got injured last year and to me it looks like the club didn’t put proper support structure around him. Now all of a sudden we’re hearing how disruptive he is. Freo would be one of the last clubs in the AFL I would recommend a player move to.

    Jesse will find a new home easily but I reckon the best place for him is the MFC.  HE was well liked here, produced good football and can fill a need. The only reason we traded him was because he wanted to head back to Perth and we needed the pick for May. And we thought TMac could play his position. Less said about that the better. My only concern would be the foot injury. He’s injured it a couple of times now so it’s a definite risk.

    Subject to medical DD I would welcome him with open arms if he decided to come back.

    Never happened.Hogan never kicked 50.

    Why do people keep harping on about this? The most he ever kicked was 47 from 20 games. Career 90 games 170 goals @1.88  

    Ben Brown by comparison 130 games 230 goals @ 2.2

    Yeh but how about if you round it up to the nearest 0? Then it's 50.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
