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).

Toby Greene can teach him some karate kicks

 

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. 

What is it about him that clubs don't like?

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!

Says a lot doesn't it.

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.

Mfc done very well....feel for Freo losing pick 6 & now Hogan!

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.

Hatchet 

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.)
