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.

That is very interesting, given why he left and continued problems at the Dockers. Wonder if the meeting was simply to say they investigated the possibility and he failed their due diligence.

Well it’s a done deal then if our mate Morris said it.

Out of courtesy to a player who spent many years at your club from the age of 17 you'd speak with him.

It also may mean we're confident of getting Brown.

Ultimately though, we let him go for a reason.

“Yeah Mahones I was just wondering if you’ll have me back mate?”

Maybe he said he is staying in Perth. Simple as that.

Journos now linking Cameron deal and Clark to Dockers and Jesse to GWS.  
Interesting few weeks coming up.

It may be that the MFC has ruled out taking Hogan back. But, please, saying it's "official" because a journo made a statement is not "official". Firstly, the journo might be mistaken; secondly, the club might be playing games and just playing hard to get in order to finesse a better deal.

Can we please reserve the use of "official" for when the words are seen and heard to be coming out of the mouths of club officials or on letterhead released by the club?

 

Big supporter of Jessies and realise it is all competitive but where do Freo sit in all this. They persuaded Jessie to go back home, mindful it was an enormous and emotional decision for him with a lot of pieces in the puzzle. One of those pieces was they knew Jessie was fairly settled and happy in Melbourne. He was obviously torn between, staying or going if all the rumour of him making a decision is correct. A few years later it is a bust.

Glad we talked to him. Talk to all the options and go with the best one that fits, which at this stage looks the Brown route.

Hope JH does have a good run at a new club though

Genuinely shocked we're not chasing Clark. would slot in very nicely in our side.

We need to talk about Jesse.

Quite the hot potato.

No.

He will be at the Dockers to start next season.  Wont last long though, can see him being released mid year.  Wont be in the AFL after next season.

Richmond bound, according to Ch10 news

Surprising.   Although I suppose Jack is getting toward the end of his career 

The discipline and structure there might be what needs

we've already ruled ourselves out for Hogan. So why is this thread still going? Bizarre

Maybe because others are interested in where he lands and want to discuss it. 
 

If you are not interested then don’t come on this thread. It’s what I do when a thread doesn’t interest me.

Wow.  Thats the only cub I could see him turning it around at.  

I have a gut feel that the next club to get Hogan will get a bargain.

If ends up at Richmond will be the biggest kick in the guts for mfc supporters also a mockery of the equalisation if the afl that a triple premiership team can get 2 gun forwards after a wining a flag .. will consider walking away from the afl

Yes I can just see it now,  best of mates Jesse & Dusty getting on the [censored] together.

It would be so typical wouldn’t it, nurture & support him for 5 or 6 years & he ends up as a CHF in a premiership team 

Guys relax, just another rumour from a hack journo

Hogan is done. he is massive into the gear and couldn't get his head right even back home with the support of family and friends. I've always liked the bloke but he chances of him being a good quality AFL player are almost nil.

why do you think Freo want to get rid of him??
