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.

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

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
