Which is why we got rid of him. Absolutely hopeless ?

Thsts rubbish LaDeeC he was just too much trouble and effort within a group and also wanted to go home.

wSnt a hopeless player at all 2 goals a game was good

Man Dees  maths are  no good though

    I've been frozen cold and gobsmacked by any suggestion of Hogan returning to the Dees. At this particular hour of this particular day in time however I'm now just frosty and gob-slapped. So so many provisos, and it would require a heap of contract stipulations, but if the club believed he could be re-integrated (i.e. no bad blood with any current players or members of staff) and his body was close to right then I would thaw a little more and overlook recent behavioural and mental health issues if it meant a future third-rounder and the chance to humiliate Bell. I never considered Jesse truly elite in his attributes, even at his very best, but he's certainly a very capable forward and we need some more of that.

    I think there is a slightly better chance of him returning than there is on me pulling on the boots in 2021.

    I really thought Jesse would deliver us that elusive flag as a goal scoring chf but ..........

    Bring him back.   Mick Malthouses best coaching trait was to get the best out of individuals -  those that weren’t overly professional but could play footy -  the rat pack.

    I’d rather have Jesse getting into strife three times a year and kicking 50 goals than have ANB be uber professional, win the time trial but be unable to hit a target 25m away.  It doesn’t have to bring down the standards of the whole group if we’ll managed and coached.

    Give the coaches a challenge and bring him back!!

    We have never looked like replacing the 40+ goals he kicked in 2018.

    I think Freo would have tried to help him out and still might, they have invested alot to get him. Although I'd love him back at his best we make top 4 next year, maybe he has bad influences back in WA?

    I was upset when he left but looking back, getting May for Hogan will go down as a terrific trade for us

    Hogan has so much baggage the poor fella. barely played a good game in two years in his home city.  it will only get worse from here unless he gets his head right

    At his best he would have also taken the pressure of Weid and Fritsch

    He was a strong mobile forward.... not many of them

    Mind you he could appear a little lazy at times and I hated the annual "will he go home threads"

    If we dont get Brown, then Jesse would be a handy key forward. 
     

    We would want to be buying him cheap.  

    Future 3rd round 2021 pick. 

    Obvious challenges and issues and needs to overcome the mental down times.

    Freo have a poor record managing players. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that Jesse didn’t settle there.

    Dockers have Jesse on trade table.

    I thought it laughable he was leaving, it’s borderline lunacy he’ll ever wear a Dees jumper ever again.

    If Brown were to nominate someone else that I would chase Jesse down to come back to the Dees. I don’t recall there being any bad blood about his leaving, he had been intimating for years that he would probably go back to Perth at some stage so it wasn’t a massive shock and I think the club had felt that the journey between club and player was over. I think he and Goody had a good relationship and I also recall Harmes being one of his best mates. Viney spoke to other clubs before re-signing so if anyone is going to accuse him of disloyalty they only look that far. 

    I think with less baggage and more runs on the board Brown is the better option but I would be all for getting Jesse back as long as Burgess thinks his foot problems have (mostly) healed. What he did in 2018 wasn’t a fluke and I saw a few of his late games towards the end of the year, it wasn’t the Jesse of old but he just starting to show glimpses. 

    I also think the Red and Blue faithful would welcome him back with (socially distant) open arms.

    We managed Jesse better when he was here.

    Do we pull off the Trent Croad special?

    I doubt it, but it would be great to see him in a Dees jumper again.

    Surely more potential upside than the Bennell experiment?

    All comes down to the price

    I think the Bennell experiment was always such a long shot, except we all thought it would be his calf that went, and not that he would explode right as it looked like he had gotten through.

    In that area I would say we might actually be slightly better (staggeringly). 

  • Quote

    Assuming he still wants to be an AFL player and all that it involves we should 100% be looking at getting him back, just like Bennell the upside is worth the risk even if it doesn’t come off

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
