Just putting it out there he's a special talent, was regarded as the next Jonathon Brown, at least have the conversation. Fwiw I would only do it if I had the complete backing of the playing list first. 46 minutes ago, picket fence said: At the moment I dont believe we can AFFORD not to investigate getting ANYONE who can play. Other teams seem to be able to mange players with issues, and yeah I know the Harley thing ended in disaster, but I know Hogan can play. Simple as that. Do we need another key forward YES. Can we go into season 2021 without another strong KPF ?? HELL NO Happy to lay the welcome mat out for him at this stage! Agreed Quote
Travis Boots 157 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Given his destructive recreational habits and how willing we were to show the door, im finding it really cringeworthy to see several of you foaming at the mouth wanting us to bring him back. 3 Quote

What a ridiculous trade that would be. A first rounder and Brayshaw for someone they're happy to move on? 2 Quote

Reading between the lines Freo want the dollars for others in 2021. Interesting times ahead I heard the Dockers have been managing (for some time) the amount of games he got to play in so he was unable to meet the KPI’s linked to both remuneration and contract extension triggers. Essentially performance managing him out the door. Edited October 21, 2020 by McQueen And the move to CHB reeks of something fishy. 4 3 Quote

Turner 1,516 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 i think hogan can be our dusty our dane swan, honestly who cares what off field stuff he's doing, truth is when he's on the field he cares and he gives it his all, he did with us and the last month of this season when he was fit, injury free and playing in the forrward line he looked good, perfect running paterns, good work rate and he was impacting games and clunking them like he did with us. absolutely jesse should be on our list next year, before we look at a brown/mihoceck type Quote

Gator 18,053 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 The bloke isn't driven by success. He left a team he thought was on the cusp of serious success off the back of a prelim to join a bottom club back in his home state. He let Tom McDonald take over as the big dog in the forward-line when he was still the main man. He's at best half-dedicated. Put simply, in football terms, right now he's a loser. The club won't entertain the idea, because they're not stupid. 3 Quote
old55 23,860 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Freo seem to be on the rise but the Hogan recruitment wasn't among Peter Bell's finest moments Quote

Willmoy1947 4,259 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 A partial change of body language, is that enough to be interested, i dunno... Quote
Lord Travis 10,817 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 The club got rid of him for a reason, and he’s only gotten worse since then both on-field and off-field. More chance of him signing on with the Melbourne Storm than us taking him back I’d say! Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,449 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Does Jesse really want to be an AFL player, or does he just like the lifestyle? Quote

The answer lies here: Hogan has a clause that triggers a two-year extension, with a bigger salary, should he play about 45 AFL games during his initial 2019-2021 contract. hogan-s-afl-future-hanging-by-a-thread He has played so few games so far that unless Freo make the finals he can't reach the triggers. The Covid breach seems to be the last straw and they will move him this year if they can. 1 1 Quote

Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Fremantle wanted Hogan for years. They get Hogan who underperforms and has several off-field indiscretions. Fremantle then want to offload him whilst still contracted. The mind boggles that people would welcome him back. Edited October 21, 2020 by Ethan Tremblay 3 Quote

The AFL contracts have morality clauses which he could quite well have breached allowing a free kick trade wise for Freo. Interesting Quote
robbiefrom13 894 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 If we got him back, one thing would be completely different to last time we had him - he would not be being white-anted by Fremantle trying to sell him an unrealistic heaven in Perth. So he got sold something - welcome to the advertising age! If he came back, he would not be constantly having his eyes drawn away. We might see a single-focused Jesse - and not the disillusioned Jesse he appears to have been in Perth. Plus - Harley Bennell came within a whisker of making it. Why can't Jesse actually do it? If he's keen, and MFC is keen, it's an absolute no-brainer to welcome him back. The potential win is so great, we would have to take the chance. 4 Quote
