Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?

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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
