Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?

He's gone to the wrong club again. Who is advising him, seriously. 

Sydney has a great culture and track record of rehabilitating players. Richmond would have been another good option.

If he gets his act together and focuses then he'll be a great addition for them. I really hope it works out for him.

The worst thing he ever did for his career was leave Melbourne. We all knew that WA would present some difficulties for him in terms of off field discipline. 

I wish him all the very best. Maybe NSW, a non footy state, would be good for him.

au contraire, big bad sydney and being virtually incognito could test his weakness for temptation

maybe, but being 'virutally incognito' lessens the odds of detection.  Anyway, good luck to him (except when he plays us of course).

I just wish him good luck, hindsight is always going to be 20/20 but I think the better thing for Jesse before moving to WA would’ve been us trying to encourage support networks to relocate to Melbourne. Seems like WA hasn’t been a place of comfort for him. 

Will be interesting to see how he goes at GWS, if he gets his body right that’s step one, step two will be him making a clear effort to stay on the straight and narrow.

The pressure will be on.  The Age is reporting it is a one year deal with triggers for a second.  Not an ideal situation in which to turn around form and reputation.  Hope he can do it, not just for his career but for him and his well being.

I’m not sure how much Jesse cares. There are many good footballers who are simply not cut out for the furnace of AFL, the spotlight and all the pressures that come with it. And these days, clubs will only persevere for so long.

I wish him well but 3 clubs for a relatively young guy is not a good indicator of future success. As acknowledged Jesse has mental health issues which is unfortunate and makes his footy career even more difficult to manage. Treatment and management of mental health will always take priority over career. Can he get in top of it? We hope so. But when footy is all about intensity and bringing your best every week and on the training track, In a foreign city on the other side of the continent,  and at a club located in the boondocks it’s going to be tough.

For every Wagner, Matt Jones, Magner, Jordie ... guys who bust a gut to maximise their talent, break in to an AFL list, play a handful of games, but are not quite up to it ... well, take 10 of them ... for every 10, maybe 20, there's a Hogan. More talent in his little finger than the rest in their entire bodies including their nearest relatives ... but who doesn't bust a gut, isn't driven like a borderline psychopath for on-field success. 

Hogan will be happiest playing in whatever comp is one below the WAFL, where he can rock up on Saturday, make dills of his opponents, kick an easy bag, then get out on the turps with his mates. And good luck to him. Not everyone's cut out for AFL. (Exhibit A: Liam Jurrah.)

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
