MELBOURNE will be given permission to blood its key defensive hope Jesse Hogan in the VFL next year, giving fans a glimpse of what they will see in 2014.

The 17-year-old was secured in a trade with Greater Western Sydney and in a worst-case scenario could be the sole star selection for the Demons from this year's draft process.

Totally expected with the way Viney was treated as a 17yo.

That'll make going to Casey all the more exciting in 2013.

Defensive? HACKS!

A simple fact- Hogan is a Forward you goons. If the newspaper idiots can't even get this right, what can we expect on more critical topics? Any ideas Ms Wilson?

On topic, it will be great that he can be developing and skilling up at Casey towards a rapid injection into the seniors in 2014.

Btw- worst case scenario: guesswork by the same genius that know where Hogan plays...

Actually, this isn't completely wrong as while he is predominantly a forward, he has played a fair bit at CHB. A couple of my colleagues have watched him play and one of them thinks that this would be his best position but of course, that's deabatable. Have a look at his highlights and you will see him taking marks in the backline.

In any case, next year is all about development, so the FD can play him wherever they see fit. It might be easier for a 17y.o. to find his way playing CHB.

He was selected as an All-Australian in the Under 18s as a defender, I think this is where the confusion arises.

Will look forward to seeing him develop his game at Casey!

Plus his results from the combine were up with the midfielders, also in his highlights I noticed whenever he takes a mark (being forward or back ) how quickly he runs back of his mark , looking to move the ball on straight away. Looks a huge talent!

Being able to play in the backline is a great assett to his game.

Probably shows he has some footy smarts also ;-)

Hope he starts smiling. I remember Scully never smiled...

Dustin Martin says hello, means nothing.

I stand corrected. I have only seen him spoken about as a KPF, and seen highlights of same. I would have thought this was a more 'accepted' description- but if he could be a super CHB, then I would also not be disappointed....

Posted

Gee I thought someone would have had a shot at Ralphys jibe about the worst case scenario for Melbourne that he may be the only star pick up in this years draft.

What a Moron.

Posted

But...hang on...we'd better decide whether he is forward or back, because if he's a defender and we play him at FF, then that's tanking.

He's just put up a picture of the number 1 locker and is saying it will be his home for the next three years.

Nice choice, Jess.

Only 3??

more like 15 years! :)

I don't like the way that he has specifically said 'three'

I don't know if I am just paranoid or used to it or if I am actually sensing something when I say that I do not think that he seemed overly excited when he was picked up by the Dees.

And yes, I am yet to also see the kid smile. Lets hope he makes some buddies at the club.

Oh FMD

We lost 1 player to an unprecedented deal and came out the other side as huge winners (on the surface)

Surely we don't need 3 years of people speculating Hogan will leave because he didn't smile

Christ.....

FFS.

I know you're the poster that most epitomises MFCSS, but honestly...

The kid just signed a 3 year contract.

He clearly isn't taking anything for granted.

If he just expected for a 10-15 year career to happen, then it would be more cause for concern.

Why would he have put the photo up if he was so devastated?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
