We are running out of options. 
 

It was always fanciful thinking.

Just signed a new 2 year deal.

 

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. 

Is about to sign a 2 year deal.

Next….

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. 

That ship sailed long ago. He won't be coming back.

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

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!!

he’s had good midfields before but he’s got his head right finally. mentality is key to pro sport

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!
