Yes, we could sign him to a contract that makes him become somebody else, other than the person he actually is.

Just putting it out there he's a special talent, was regarded as the next Jonathon Brown, at least have the conversation. Fwiw I would only do it if I had the complete backing of the playing list first.

At the moment I dont believe we can AFFORD not to investigate getting ANYONE who can play. Other teams seem to be able to mange players with issues, and yeah I know the Harley thing ended in disaster, but I know Hogan can play. Simple as that.

Do we need another key forward YES. Can we go into season 2021 without another strong KPF ?? HELL NO 

Happy to lay the welcome mat out for him at this stage!

Agreed

Yeh let’s keep playing it safe, it’s working so well for us

Well, there's being aggressive and then there's being stupid. What a ridiculous trade that would be. A first rounder and Brayshaw for someone they're happy to move on?

According to an article in today's HUN the big year is next year when it goes up and there are performance levels he had to achieve. Reading between the lines Freo want the dollars for others in 2021. Interesting times ahead

 I heard the Dockers have been managing (for some time) the amount of games he got to play in so he was unable to meet the KPI’s linked to both remuneration and contract extension triggers. 
 

Essentially performance managing him out the door.

And the move to CHB reeks of something fishy.

Given his destructive recreational habits and how willing we were to show the door, im finding it really cringeworthy to see several of you foaming at the mouth wanting us to bring him back.

 

 

What did he actually do, while at the Dees that made them happy to see the back of him?

I know won't happen but I would try him at the right price. What is the right price? No idea.

i think hogan can be our dusty our dane swan, honestly who cares what off field stuff he's doing, truth is when he's on the field he cares and he gives it his all, he did with us and the last month of this season when he was fit, injury free and playing in the forrward line he looked good, perfect running paterns, good work rate and he was impacting games and clunking them like he did with us. absolutely jesse should be on our list next year, before we look at a brown/mihoceck type

Sounding to me like a salary dump; could come cheap in trade, big in cap.

The bloke isn't driven by success.

He left a team he thought was on the cusp of serious success off the back of a prelim to join a bottom club back in his home state.

He let Tom McDonald take over as the big dog in the forward-line when he was still the main man.

He's at best half-dedicated.  

Put simply, in football terms, right now he's a loser.  The club won't entertain the idea, because they're not stupid.

The club got rid of him for a reason, and he’s only gotten worse since then both on-field and off-field.

More chance of him signing on with the Melbourne Storm than us taking him back I’d say!

The answer lies here:

Hogan has a clause that triggers a two-year extension, with a bigger salary, should he play about 45 AFL games during his initial 2019-2021 contract. hogan-s-afl-future-hanging-by-a-thread

He has played so few games so far that unless Freo make the finals he can't reach the triggers. 

The Covid breach seems to be the last straw and they will move him this year if they can.

Jesse Hogan at 60% is still better than anyone else on offer. Give him a 12 month contract

No.

They got rid of Watts and Hogan for cultural reasons.  They want to be a serious football club.

Fremantle wanted Hogan for years. They get Hogan who underperforms and has several off-field indiscretions. Fremantle then want to offload him whilst still contracted. The mind boggles that people would welcome him back.

had forgotten the covid breach. Remember his lawyer asking for no conviction to be recorded.

The AFL contracts have morality clauses which he could quite well have breached allowing a free kick trade wise for Freo.

Interesting

If we got him back, one thing would be completely different to last time we had him - he would not be being white-anted by Fremantle trying to sell him an unrealistic heaven in Perth.  So he got sold something - welcome to the advertising age!  If he came back, he would not be constantly having his eyes drawn away.  We might see a single-focused Jesse - and not the disillusioned Jesse he appears to have been in Perth.  Plus - Harley Bennell came within a whisker of making it.  Why can't Jesse actually do it?  If he's keen, and MFC is keen, it's an absolute no-brainer to welcome him back.  The potential win is so great, we would have to take the chance.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
