Dockers star Jesse Hogan has unloaded on Fox Sports journalist Tom Morris in a Twitter post late on Saturday night.
The ex-Demon accused Morris of leaking information while privately working for Melbourne, referring to him as a "leech".
"Honest leech. Had a job at Melbourne football club that was private and used it and leaked private conversations to get a leg up," Hogan wrote.
"Not involving me but genuine leech of a personality."
Hogan went so far to call Morris a "fake media personality" before tagging his account at the end of the thread.
The post was deleted soon afterwards.
Hogan was traded to Fremantle at the end of last season along with Pick No. 65 for Melbourne's Pick No.6 and No.23.
The 24-year old is currently sidelined with a foot injury and his expected return to the field is unknown.
