Hogan was elevated to Melbourne's main squad in March 2017 as an injury replacement for Pepa Randall, Meg Downie and Stephanie De Bortoli.[5] A week after her elevation, she made her debut in the two point win against Adelaide at TIO Stadium in round six.[6] She managed just two kicks in the match[7] and was subsequently omitted for the final round match against Fremantle at Casey Fields.[8] She was not retained on Melbourne's list at the end of the season and was consequently delisted in May 2017.[9] After the conclusion of the 2017 AFL Women's season and due to the discontinuation of the VWFL after the 2016 season, she joined Geelong in the Victorian Football League Women's (VFL Women's) for the 2017 season.[10]
