When Jesse Hogan was traded to the GWS Giants at the end of 2020, his career was in tatters. Four years later, he is the AFL's leading goal kicker on a premiership contender. Here is how he scripted one of the most remarkable career turnarounds in the league's recent history.

After some prolonged negotiations during the trade period, Cameron was begrudgingly dealt to Geelong in exchange for three first-round picks.At the back end of that same trade period, the Giants made a deal that hardly anyone around the competition batted an eye at — they acquired Jesse Hogan from Fremantle in exchange for pick 54.
"By the end of my time at Freo, my passion for the game was absolutely gone. I moved to the Giants at the back end of COVID thinking, I'll give it one last go." "Coming off two naviculars and six calves in about 14 months, my career was almost over, to be honest. If you do a third navicular it's pretty much curtains and once your calves go, the end can come pretty quick.
"It's definitely a big part of the reason why I play. Just to speak to them and hear their joy brings me a lot of joy." Hogan also credited his partner Chloe for helping him find a healthy work-life balance that has allowed his football career to thrive."My work-life balance, I've been with my partner for two years now and what she's done for me has been nothing short of outstanding.
