Jesse Hogan on the way out at Freo?


Bizzell Blitz

Recommended Posts

Surely not going to go interstate again when he's got a contract. Different if Freo was ready to turf him and he had no other option.

Let's be really nice to him until he comes out of contract and then snatch him on the cheap if he's looking good.

He's in WA and Josh Kennedy is 103yo - if he was a desirable target West Coast would be all over him.

That even West Coast, a club with a rich history of making champions out of troubled blokes don’t want him, says a lot.

Yeah, Jesse is about 15 years too late to that party

Still have some faith in Jessie, he's one solid preseason away from being elite again

I think it’s more his attitude

So am I!

I think Jesse at his best would be a dream addition.  Not sure  we ever consistently saw it.  Think there may be off-field, attitude and even mental health issues that will be in play in the long term.  

Perhaps the early drafting was not suited to him - a bit longer at home to mature and really develop a fire to play might have seen Jesse become something special.  

I think he is an expensive risk given recent history and dramas.  With list sizes reducing and salary cap pressure, I dont think he would come cheap.  I hope he finds form, but dont think it would be great list management to take him back.  Suggest a rookie approach like Bennell is the go, but doubt he would be in for that.

Jesse didn't realize how good he had it with us before he broke down and then asked for a return home. In the end  Goody had enough and did a deal .

  When your in a good space you tend to play good footy and he was with Melbourne .Now he wants to move on again and we     should ask the question.

If Freo are willing to trade for Jesse we should look at it.  If you don't ask you won't know.

To some extent, this is my thinking. There is a chance he didn't realise how good it was over here and constantly battled a bit of nostalgia from home, thinking that would fix all his problems. It hasn't, and if he realises this he might be able to knuckle down and return. But I do think the club would be in the best position to judge that. And we wont take him and Brown.

I don't think they will take him at all. On top of his head problems he has been some what less than durable.

he wasn't even an adult when he moved halfway across the country and played in the vfl for a year before doing his back in and missing the first year he was able to play at senior level

he won the rising star in his second year showcasing the sort of key forward form you'd expect of a mature 25-year old - dominating contested marks and kicking 40+ goals in a side that still was average at best

had a rotten run in 2017 with his father's death, his own cancer, then a broken shoulder...if he had had a clean run that season, we would've stood a far greater chance of making finals that season instead of missing out by the smallest percentage margin on record

his time at the dees was littered with missed opportunities; he didn' t even get to taste finals action in the year in which his 50-odd goals in 20 games made a vital contribution to us making them for the first time in 12 seasons

we all know he's good enough to play a key role as a forward in a good afl side

it all comes down to what he wants

Yeah just like us being one good preseason away from finals. 
 

One finals appearance in 14 seasons!

What was that? 

Tom Morris and John Ralph were discussing trades on the GF preview on Fox Footy.  Said that Mahoney and others had met with Hogan and have subsequently ruled him out.  Not much more than that.

They would know him best of all the suiters.  Obviously he's not in a good place or wanted too much.

    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.
