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.

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

If brown doesn’t come should we chase hogan ?

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.

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. 


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

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

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??

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • 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.
