Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?

Bizzell Blitz
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Surely not going to go interstate again when he's got a contract. Different if Freo was ready to turf him and he had no other option.

Let's be really nice to him until he comes out of contract and then snatch him on the cheap if he's looking good.

    He's in WA and Josh Kennedy is 103yo - if he was a desirable target West Coast would be all over him.

    Completely agree. Any young fella in his shoes would have done the exact same thing. 

    He leaves his shoes on... kinky.

    That even West Coast, a club with a rich history of making champions out of troubled blokes don’t want him, says a lot.

    Yeah, Jesse is about 15 years too late to that party.

    Still have some faith in Jessie, he's one solid preseason away from being elite again

    I think it’s more his attitude

    So am I!

    I think Jesse at his best would be a dream addition.  Not sure  we ever consistently saw it.  Think there may be off-field, attitude and even mental health issues that will be in play in the long term.  

    Perhaps the early drafting was not suited to him - a bit longer at home to mature and really develop a fire to play might have seen Jesse become something special.  

    I think he is an expensive risk given recent history and dramas.  With list sizes reducing and salary cap pressure, I dont think he would come cheap.  I hope he finds form, but dont think it would be great list management to take him back.  Suggest a rookie approach like Bennell is the go, but doubt he would be in for that.

    Jesse didn't realize how good he had it with us before he broke down and then asked for a return home. In the end  Goody had enough and did a deal .

      When your in a good space you tend to play good footy and he was with Melbourne .Now he wants to move on again and we     should ask the question.

    If Freo are willing to trade for Jesse we should look at it.  If you don't ask you won't know.

    To some extent, this is my thinking. There is a chance he didn't realise how good it was over here and constantly battled a bit of nostalgia from home, thinking that would fix all his problems. It hasn't, and if he realises this he might be able to knuckle down and return. But I do think the club would be in the best position to judge that. And we wont take him and Brown.

    I don't think they will take him at all. On top of his head problems he has been some what less than durable.

    It's pretty clear that the club was happy to see him leave and he won't be coming back.

    he wasn't even an adult when he moved halfway across the country and played in the vfl for a year before doing his back in and missing the first year he was able to play at senior level

    he won the rising star in his second year showcasing the sort of key forward form you'd expect of a mature 25-year old - dominating contested marks and kicking 40+ goals in a side that still was average at best

    had a rotten run in 2017 with his father's death, his own cancer, then a broken shoulder...if he had had a clean run that season, we would've stood a far greater chance of making finals that season instead of missing out by the smallest percentage margin on record

    his time at the dees was littered with missed opportunities; he didn' t even get to taste finals action in the year in which his 50-odd goals in 20 games made a vital contribution to us making them for the first time in 12 seasons

    we all know he's good enough to play a key role as a forward in a good afl side

    it all comes down to what he wants

    Yeah just like us being one good preseason away from finals. 
     

    One finals appearance in 14 seasons!

    He's also one 'solid pre-season' away from obscurity.

    Can we pay his contract through a cashless debit card like the Centrelink one?

    What was that? 

    Tom Morris and John Ralph were discussing trades on the GF preview on Fox Footy.  Said that Mahoney and others had met with Hogan and have subsequently ruled him out.  Not much more than that.

    They would know him best of all the suiters.  Obviously he's not in a good place or wanted too much.

    Physically fit, maybe, the other stuff that goes on, not even close.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
