Played in a rotten era for a player.  Pretty good versatile player (play up back or fwd) when we didn't have many.  His 10 goals was a highlight v Pies.The trade for him wasn't a bad one either - Dundas, Gale and Broderick for memory.  Was Jamie Elliot in on this deal or was that another one?

Felt Hogg had been shafted a bit after a good career with the Tiges, but as was proven, he didn't last much long (back injury i think).  Always wondered if he felt bitter as a result towards the club and if he still has any involvement/interest.

At the time I always wanted us to have 3 Jeff Hoggs. One at Full Forward, One at Full Back and one anywhere else along the spine. He was a very good player who played in a poo team and who was underated.

The heroes your mates had are ordinary blokes to say the least.

Hoggy was a good bloke, off and on the field.

I too was a Hoggy fan.  As has been mentioned if he were in a reasonable team he would have been twice the player. I bled when he was transferred but in hindsight it was a good move.  Sometimes you have to give up something good to receive something good.

According to the 2004 AFL yearbook which has a draft history, we got Brodders, Gale and Dundas in exchange for pick #6 and received pick #26 in return for Hoggy. We then picked up Jamie Elliot in the PSD (#3).

Hoggy was injury-riddled when we traded him. His best was behind him and we had a young Richo to replace him in the forward line.

He was a gifted player. Unfortunate to play in a bad era which made his job as a forward difficult but he still had his moments. I'd rank him up there with the likes of Gary Lyon.

Yep, Hoggy was a Gun.

I remember he even performed well for a Victorian second team that played up in Brisbane if i remember correctly.

Its a shame we dont have a young Hogg in our team now.
