Which is why we got rid of him. Absolutely hopeless ?

Thsts rubbish LaDeeC he was just too much trouble and effort within a group and also wanted to go home.

wSnt a hopeless player at all 2 goals a game was good

Man Dees  maths are  no good though

    I've been frozen cold and gobsmacked by any suggestion of Hogan returning to the Dees. At this particular hour of this particular day in time however I'm now just frosty and gob-slapped. So so many provisos, and it would require a heap of contract stipulations, but if the club believed he could be re-integrated (i.e. no bad blood with any current players or members of staff) and his body was close to right then I would thaw a little more and overlook recent behavioural and mental health issues if it meant a future third-rounder and the chance to humiliate Bell. I never considered Jesse truly elite in his attributes, even at his very best, but he's certainly a very capable forward and we need some more of that.

    I think there is a slightly better chance of him returning than there is on me pulling on the boots in 2021.

    I really thought Jesse would deliver us that elusive flag as a goal scoring chf but ..........

    Bring him back.   Mick Malthouses best coaching trait was to get the best out of individuals -  those that weren’t overly professional but could play footy -  the rat pack.

    I’d rather have Jesse getting into strife three times a year and kicking 50 goals than have ANB be uber professional, win the time trial but be unable to hit a target 25m away.  It doesn’t have to bring down the standards of the whole group if we’ll managed and coached.

    Give the coaches a challenge and bring him back!!

    We have never looked like replacing the 40+ goals he kicked in 2018.

    I think Freo would have tried to help him out and still might, they have invested alot to get him. Although I'd love him back at his best we make top 4 next year, maybe he has bad influences back in WA?

    I was upset when he left but looking back, getting May for Hogan will go down as a terrific trade for us

    Hogan has so much baggage the poor fella. barely played a good game in two years in his home city.  it will only get worse from here unless he gets his head right

    At his best he would have also taken the pressure of Weid and Fritsch

    He was a strong mobile forward.... not many of them

    Mind you he could appear a little lazy at times and I hated the annual "will he go home threads"

    If we dont get Brown, then Jesse would be a handy key forward. 
     

    We would want to be buying him cheap.  

    Future 3rd round 2021 pick. 

    Obvious challenges and issues and needs to overcome the mental down times.

    Freo have a poor record managing players. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that Jesse didn’t settle there.

    Dockers have Jesse on trade table.

    I thought it laughable he was leaving, it’s borderline lunacy he’ll ever wear a Dees jumper ever again.

    If Brown were to nominate someone else that I would chase Jesse down to come back to the Dees. I don’t recall there being any bad blood about his leaving, he had been intimating for years that he would probably go back to Perth at some stage so it wasn’t a massive shock and I think the club had felt that the journey between club and player was over. I think he and Goody had a good relationship and I also recall Harmes being one of his best mates. Viney spoke to other clubs before re-signing so if anyone is going to accuse him of disloyalty they only look that far. 

    I think with less baggage and more runs on the board Brown is the better option but I would be all for getting Jesse back as long as Burgess thinks his foot problems have (mostly) healed. What he did in 2018 wasn’t a fluke and I saw a few of his late games towards the end of the year, it wasn’t the Jesse of old but he just starting to show glimpses. 

    I also think the Red and Blue faithful would welcome him back with (socially distant) open arms.

    We managed Jesse better when he was here.

    Do we pull off the Trent Croad special?

    I doubt it, but it would be great to see him in a Dees jumper again.

    Surely more potential upside than the Bennell experiment?

    All comes down to the price

    I think the Bennell experiment was always such a long shot, except we all thought it would be his calf that went, and not that he would explode right as it looked like he had gotten through.

    In that area I would say we might actually be slightly better (staggeringly). 

  • Quote

    Assuming he still wants to be an AFL player and all that it involves we should 100% be looking at getting him back, just like Bennell the upside is worth the risk even if it doesn’t come off

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
