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

    Well he wont be recognised in Western Sydney. I really hope it works out for him except when playing the Dees.

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

    whilst it may be accurate... cheap shot.

    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.

    DONE DEAL | Jesse Hogan has been traded from Fremantle to GWS for pick 54.

    Pick 54, they must've wanted him gone pretty bad.

    GWS looking pretty desperate here.

    Hogan is done, hopefully he can get his life back on track but the chances are things will go from bad to worse at GWS.

    A bargain if fit and has the mentality right. Wish him well! GWS will lose Cameron and pick up a few 1st round picks/ player and get hogan for pick 54. Could be the trade bargain of the year, as said, if he is back on track!

    Traded to GWS for pick 54. Ouch!

    We cashed out at the right time. He likely won't be on an AFL list in two years time. What a massive fall from grace.

    I'm not sure if he is smiling or not?

    In all seriousness, good luck!

    All the best to Jesse, hope he gets the support he needs at GWS.

    And for those who thought we didn’t win the Hogan trade by getting May... we did.

    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.)

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
