  • Whispering_Jack changed the title to Jesse Hogan
  • 1 year later...

Enough water under the bridge, time heals all wounds etc, He's out of contract this year, and the most realistically gettable of the power forwards out there. Personally think he'd be great for us.

I think he’s finally found his feet up there and will become a true star of the game. Not sure he’d put that at risk to change everything again. 


Throw a bunch of spare salary cap money at him and see if we can land him. 

Would love to see him back (imagine him and JVR in the same forward line).

Equally I don't mind him being at the Giants and hope he continues to go well for them - just not against us!

Playing good footy Jesse. Looks to have his body right.

Would have him back in a heartbeat but it seems more sensible for him to stay where he is. 

 

One of my favorite players when at Mfc.

Still have a soft spot for him with all he went through.

Great to see him firing.

Just have a poor one V us please Jesse.

Hogan looks happy and settled at GWS, can't see him going anywhere.

Not wrong and I wish him well, but between Brown, Tmac and Brayshaw salary we have a lot of change to throw around. Timing is good. GWS has alot of players to sign and a key defender that will command the mint in the near future.

And I thought the club left things respectfully with him, no bad blood etc. We were more cut up.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's an AA this year. His from since the second half of last season has been great.

Kudos to him for getting his career back together.

yep indeedy

We were offered him by Freo when he left, they’d have taken peanuts. Jesse wanted to come back. Club said no due to his off field issues, probably understandably at the time. God we could do with him at the moment though!


a real chance at the coleman this year

the penny has finally dropped after 11 years

he has done well the last 2 years, just injury curtailed him

Good for him - very happy he’s in a better place and playing good football.

Credit to the Giants and their program; people very rarely turn things around by themselves.

he’s been decent the last couple but could kick 70 this year

a lot more than injuries impacted his performances over the years

Never heard this reported at the time…I thought he wanted a fresh start in a non football state?

he had a meeting with mahoney and the football dept

the rumour mill has it that they asked him if he was prepared to give up the grog, and he said no

hence we landed sideshow bob and won a premiership instead

Not so much the penny dropping, but more the fact that he has a midfield that knows how to deliver the ball.  His belief in himself has skyrocketed and it shows!!

Agree with the last statement but the last 2 years it was purely injury, his headspace was great and his output was fantastic if he wasnt injured.

Hes loving his footy and really am happy for him. Our family was devestated when he left the Dees, just glad hes still playing!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
