Career highlights

Jesse Hogan (born 12 February 1995) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

Hogan is the youngest of four children by twelve years and was raised in Scarborough in Perth, Western Australia.[1] He attended Newman College and played his junior football with the Wembley Downs Junior Football Club and the Marist Junior Football Club. He was awarded state selection in the under-16 Western Australian basketball squad, where his passion was with basketball before focusing on becoming a professional footballer.[2]

Hogan was recruited by West Australian Football League club, Claremont, in 2011 and played for their colts (under-20) side in 2011 and 2012 for a total of 16 matches and 26 goals.[3] As part of the AFL elite talent junior pathways,[4] he was awarded a scholarship with the AIS-AFL Academy for the 2011 intake in the level one squad.[5]

Hogan received mid-year state honours in 2012 and was selected in the Western Australian squad in the Under 18 Championships despite being ineligible for the 2012 AFL Draft as a 17-year old.[6] His performances in the championships were rewarded with All-Australian selection as the centre half-back after playing in both the forward and back-line.[7] He was highly rated during the championships and was touted as one of the two players who would be selected in the 2012 mini-draft;[8][9][10] the Vic Metro coach during the 2012 championships, Rohan Welsh, noted Hogan's body size at 17-years-old was the size of a 20-year-old and he had the ability to 'tear games apart'.[1] In August, he was named in the level two squad for the 2012 intake in the AIS-AFL Academy, however, he did not partake in the European tour in 2013 due to being drafted.[11]

AFL career

2013–2014: VFL and ongoing back injury

In October 2012, Hogan was acquired by Melbourne with the second selection in the 2012 mini-draft.[12][13] As he was a pre-listed selection, Hogan had to spend the 2013 season playing for Melbourne's VFL affiliated team, the Casey Scorpions. He was, however, given permission by the AFL to play for Melbourne in the 2013 NAB Cup.[14] He had an excellent debut season with Casey, but finished the year prematurely when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in a game against Bendigo in August 2013.[15] Despite this, he went on to win the Gardner Clark Medal for the club best and fairest after having kicked 39 goals in 15 games.[16][17]

In March 2014, Hogan was sidelined indefinitely after he sustained a lower back injury in Melbourne's NAB Challenge match against Geelong a week earlier.[18] Speculation arose that Fremantle were trying to lure him back to Western Australia with a lucrative offer,[19] however, in July, he signed a two-year contract extension with Melbourne, linking him to the club until the end of the 2017 season.[20] On 17 August, he made his return from injury playing for Casey in the team's second last game of the season.[21]

2015: Debut season for Melbourne

After being praised by his coaches and teammates for his great preparation and professionalism over the off-season,[22] Hogan made his long-awaited AFL debut on 4 April 2015 in the Demons' 2015 season opening win against the Gold Coast.[23] He finished the game with two goals and seven marks, helping the Demons to their first 100-plus score since round 14, 2013.[24] After round 9, he earned the round nomination for the AFL Rising Star where he kicked two goals, took eight marks and recorded 16 disposals in the 61-point loss to Port Adelaide.[25] He played 20 matches in his debut season, kicking 44 goals, the most for a player aged under 21 in their debut season since Chris Grant of Footscray kicked 51 goals in 1990.[26] He was the leading goalkicker for Melbourne and finished third in the league for contested marks with 47 during the home and away season.[27] During the season, he drew high praise from commentators, including former Western Bulldogs and Richmond coach, Terry Wallace, who claimed he was the best teenager since Chris Grant (whom Wallace played alongside and eventually coached).[28] AFL Hall of Famer, Wayne Carey, questioned during the round 16 match against Brisbane Lions whether 'there has been a centre half-forward after 13 games who has been as impressive as this kid? This kid has been as good as any.'[29] Former Geelong captain, Cameron Ling, stated Melbourne should offer Hogan a lifetime contract as he has the potential to be to Melbourne what Michael Jordan was to the Chicago Bulls.[30]

He was one of the early favourites to win the AFL Rising Star alongside Isaac Heeney of Sydney,[31] however, a seven-week knee injury to Heeney led many to believe the Rising Star winner would be decided between Hogan and Patrick Cripps of Carlton.[32][33][34][35] In what was predicted to be one of the closest vote counts for the Rising Star,[36] Hogan was the eventual winner of the Ron Evans Medal, earning the maximum five votes from nine of the ten judges, with Kevin Sheehan awarding him four out of five votes,[37] ultimately finishing with 49 votes out of a possible 50.[38] He became the first key forward to win the award since Nick Riewoldt won in 2002, and the second Melbourne player overall to receive the award after Jared Rivers in 2004.[39] In addition, he was recognised as the best young player at Melbourne by winning the Harold Ball Memorial Trophy,[40] along with placing fourth in the best and fairest count, finishing with 286 votes.[41] He was also one of the three Melbourne players nominated for the AFLPA MVP award, alongside Nathan Jones and Bernie Vince.[42]
