Yes, we could sign him to a contract that makes him become somebody else, other than the person he actually is.

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.

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 

 

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.

 

 

Gee Max Gawn would be happy if he came back.?

Yeh let’s keep playing it safe, it’s working so well for us

Well, there's being aggressive and then there's being stupid. What a ridiculous trade that would be. A first rounder and Brayshaw for someone they're happy to move on?

According to an article in today's HUN the big year is next year when it goes up and there are performance levels he had to achieve. 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.

And the move to CHB reeks of something fishy.

What did he actually do, while at the Dees that made them happy to see the back of him?

I know won't happen but I would try him at the right price. What is the right price? No idea.

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

Sounding to me like a salary dump; could come cheap in trade, big in cap.

I wonder how long it took before Freo regretted recruiting him? 


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.

Freo seem to be on the rise but the Hogan recruitment wasn't among Peter Bell's finest moments

A partial change of body language, is that enough to be interested, i dunno...

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!

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.

Jesse Hogan at 60% is still better than anyone else on offer. Give him a 12 month contract

No.

They got rid of Watts and Hogan for cultural reasons.  They want to be a serious football club.

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.

About 2 years ago.

Likely when he rolled his car in that quiet side street, which from memory was pretty soon after they got him.

had forgotten the covid breach. Remember his lawyer asking for no conviction to be recorded.

The AFL contracts have morality clauses which he could quite well have breached allowing a free kick trade wise for Freo.

Interesting

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
