Melbourne have left the door open for Jesse Hogan to seek a trade to Fremantle. And if that happens the Demons will chase Gold Coast captain Steven May hard. Melbourne have steadfastly fought off advances from the Dockers in the past, with the WA club keen to lure the power forward back to his home state. But the Demons have softened their stance with Hogan, who has dealt with the death of his father and testicular cancer in the past 18 months, and is out of contract at the end of next season.
"Jesse's got a bit of thinking to do over the next few days," Mahoney told Trade Radio on Tuesday. "He's at a stage of his career where he's got to work out what's best for him and one option he wants to consider is going back to Perth. "He's going to take the next few days to think about that. (A trade) is certainly a chance at this stage. "Through his management he'll come back to us before the trade period starts on Monday." The Demons are keen for the 23-year-old to stay but are understanding of his personal circumstances should he request a trade.
