A raw Jesse Hogan opens up on hitting rock bottom & his incredible comeback story - Footy Classified

[@jazactane]

This guy is a great player, but also raw, honest and very relatable! Great to see how well his is doing with footy and within himself

[@kulaaofficial]

As a dees fan I will always love this bloke and couldn’t be happier he’s crushing it at gws. People just don’t realise how special this guys talent is. Kicked 44 or something stupid in his first year and lead the league in contested marks in his first year

[@sambowles9746]

I’m a Dees tragic and agree with you whole heartedly

[@MaxwellEdison14]

Lifelong Dee supporter here and could not be more proud, great footballer and seems a bloody good bloke.

[@nicholasjopson7326]

The Dees deserted the guy when they NEEDED to support him. His dad died, he had cancer AND THE DEES DESERTED HIM. Not nice ... but also stupid because they've needed a player exactly like him at full forward for several years. How could a club desert a guy whose dad died and the guy has cancer??? Treated him like crap when he needed support

Not a GWS supporter but watched Jesse play every week , awesome season , well deserved result and a personality that is equal to his football abilities. A great success story .

GO JESSE,,,, I'm wrapped for your rewards for effort, my 2 sons LOVE watching you do your thing. Enjoy the ride. God Bless

[@scottmcnaughton539]

He was amazing at Melbourne, and it was such a shame to see him leave there. It all made sense, and I think most Dees fans are thrilled to see him back playing great footy and doing well.

[@acidmike]

Gutted he left but so proud of the club for facilitating what was seemingly in Jesse's best interests at the time. So happy to see the big man thriving now!

Collingwood supporter and I really like the bloke. Really pleased for him to be playing such great footy. It is a great footy story and I wish him all the best. Would love to have a foward as good as Jessie at the pies.

[@peterkol5061]

Try Dan Macstay....very similar in both have had to get through career threatening injuries and get back to playing great footy.

[@mattmurphy5419]

@@peterkol5061 I don’t see their situations at all similar. He lost his dad and battled cancer and 2 metal rods thru his foot. Mcstay mad an unbelievable comeback from a acl and mad a slight difference to the pies. Mcstay is no where near the player hogan is. But I respect ur oppinion and we’re just slightly off there

Wonderful wonderful footballer

[@iatkinson7494]

Great story

[@joemccormack2446]

Coming from a Freo fan I’m really happy for him. As soon as he got to Freo the WA media picked on him, and while he did make some poor choices, anything he did got slammed by the media. No wonder he underperformed on field. So glad he was able to reach his full potential at the giants and play the footy we know he can play.

35 seconds. That’s how long it took Eddie to wrap up the interview. I’ve never seen someone so in love with the sound of his own voice.

Why continue with the past the media makes me sick . All he wanted to talk about was the giants and how happy he is there but typical media look at the negatives

[@brettduffin8412]

Umpires don't vote for value, they vote for quantity. Shame.

[@Rowsy91]

I’m still newish to the sport, but seems like forwards are not really valued in the mvp award? Mainly mids or is that just recently?

[@worker-wf2em]

Pretty much. Umps spend most their time around the contest where the mids do their work racking up possessions. Forwards like Hogan don’t get noticed unless they kick a bag. It’s even worse for defenders. McGovern made the AA as a full back yet didn’t poll a single Brownlow vote

[@Rowsy91]

@@worker-wf2em yeah that was gonna be the next thing I asked about ; top defenders like May, Moore (not this year) Taylor, Weitering I think had a nice year etc I never hear them mentioned either I do get the disposals stats rack up in the middle but those lock down back defenders seem super important. The good teams have them the bad teams don’t. But some bad teams have nice midfielders
