JESSE Hogan says he is not actively contemplating a return to Perth ahead of his contract at Melbourne expiring at the end of 2019.

The Demons spearhead is playing the most consistent football of his 61-game career in 2018, averaging 20 disposals and kicking 26 goals from 10 matches.

Underlining his consistency, the West Australian product is one of just two players in the AFL – Collingwood's Will Hoskin-Elliott is the other – to kick a goal in every game this season.

"I've lived here (Melbourne) for about six years now and I'd almost call it home," Hogan told AFL.com.au.

"I still love going back to Perth obviously. But with each year I stay here, it's probably that little bit further away from going back to Perth."

The 23-year-old turned down the opportunity to join Fremantle on a lucrative offer when he inked a two-year deal with the Demons in October 2016.

Melbourne will be keen to extend Hogan's contract prior to 2019 and ward off likely advances from Fremantle and West Coast.
