JESSE Hogan says he has “no reasons” to leave Melbourne and hopes to become a one club player.

Hogan, who is contracted to Melbourne until the end of 2017, said while “it’s hard to say” what can happen in the future, he hopes to play his entire career for the Demons. 

“I’d like to think I’d be a one club player, but you never know what’s going to happen,” he said from AAMI Park on Tuesday.

“At this stage, I’m extremely happy with where I am and the future is looking bright, so there are no reasons to leave at the moment.”

Hogan acknowledged that he missed living in his native Perth at times, but he also relished living in Melbourne.

“Last year was pretty difficult being injured and having to watch the boys run out every week,” he said.

“You try and get away from footy as much as you possibly can, when you’re injured, but when you’re in Melbourne it’s pretty hard to escape the footy scene. But the club’s been really good.

“Whenever I’ve been injured or home sick, they’ve sent me home. But when I’m playing, I’m really enjoying Melbourne and like anyone else, as long as you’re playing footy and enjoying yourself, then everything comes off the back of that.”

Hogan, who missed nearly all of 2014 with a back injury, except a NAB Challenge match in Alice Springs and a VFL game towards the end of the year, said his body was now “feeling better than it ever has”.

“I had a really monitored pre-season, which was ideal for someone my height and weight,” he said.

“Having a break a few weeks ago was probably the best thing for me and I’m feeling fresh, so I’m all good.”

Looking ahead to Monday’s clash against Collingwood, Hogan said it was “a super important game” for the club.

“They (Collingwood) had a big win and all of the boys watched that,” he said.

“We’ve got to respond, [because] on the weekend we were disappointing and the week before we were really good, so I’m not sure how Roosy (Paul Roos) will go about it this week, but I’m sure he has something planned.”

Hogan said he couldn’t wait to play in his first Queen’s Birthday clash.

“It’ll be the biggest crowd I’ve ever played in front of, but you’ve just got to try and treat it like every other game – as hard as that is when you run out on the ‘G,” he said.

“There will be a big crowd and probably more Collingwood supporters than there will be Melbourne supporters.

“You’ve just got to try and not let it get to you and Melbourne doesn’t play a lot of massive games, so it’s pretty easy to be taken over by the big stage.

“I’m still going to try and treat it like another normal game and go out and do my thing and I think the boys will have the same mindset.”

Hogan acknowledged some of the players who had been at the club for several seasons had gone through some tough times, but added that the toll hadn’t filtered through to the newer players. 

“I’ve only started playing this year. I think we’ve got a long way to go and a long way to develop and sometimes when we are getting smashed, you can see some players go a little bit self-preserved and go back into their old habits,” he said.

“But I think some of them have improved on that dramatically and it’s pretty hard to get over the last couple of years, if you’ve been here for that. It’s been a pretty daunting past.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal, but I can imagine that some players might see it differently.”
