Jesse Hogan

[Cheap Seats 3,303]

training the house down

never seen the boys so fit

19 weeks of rubbish til round one.. sigh

Cheer up mate - sounds like you need a good curry and a frew brewski's

Should start a pessimistics only thread

[DeeVoted 582]

I hope he is a stayer. After $cumbag said he wanted to be a one club player. Not sure about anyone. Its all just a holiday for him atm. When homesickness kicks in, then the mind battle starts. Trenners handled the move, hoping Hoges does the same.

I'll be over there --> to the right, sitting on the fence. Watching the body language.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

The person I spoke to said that he is hard to read and not to take anything into body language etc.

Just as a matter of interest, does his two-year contract begin in 2014? If so, does he just get VFL match payments next year?

It's a 3 year contract as of now.

Has an incentives bonus for each time he smiles I believe.

Enjoyed that - maybe it makes up apart of his ASA haha

You;d assume he'd be contracted for 2013!! Cheers Deestroy

Some our blokes got bagged during the year for smiling and having a good laugh after a flogging,seems they couldnt get the right either.

I hope the game reviews hightlighted 30 goals down, no smiling or sharing jokes,not a good look.

Hogan will probably spend 2 mins at training, getting it right,

[monoccular 16,398]

From a reliable source (non club) that you can pm me for details if you wish - but I have been informed that Jesse Hogan loves the culture down at MFC, can see lots of young talent on our list and has special admiration for Nathan Jones (who he describes as the hardest worker he has ever seen) and Mitch Clark. He basically cant wait to play for the club.

Thought I'd post for some good news about MFC.

After the Scully fiasco its nice to know anyway.

I am sure that Caro is dredging around the bottom of a cesspit somewhere (a place she appears to be well acquainted with by the way) looking for some dirt on him for strategic publication. Maybe he didn't get his homework in on time, or evaded a train fare, or walked across a road against a red light - who knows, she will find it, and the link to CS of course, and make headlines.

Can't be very much . He has only smiled 3 times.

[Whispering_Jack 28,094]

Demons impressed by teenager Jesse Hogan's honesty and character as they look long term

[Philthy 284]

How people are comparing the kid to scully is a joke!

[beelzebub 22,330]

There are some vrry skittish supporters amongst us.

Theyll be nervous wrecks even before the season starts at this rate !!

Theyd better leave the Red Bulls and Coffees alone me thinks

[nutbean 8,837]

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

No need to worry about him going home in 3 years.

The 3 year reference was to the world ending according to the Mayan calendar NOT him going back to WA.

Everyone rest easy.

[Cheesecake 92]

Let's not forget the circumstance that led to Scully's departure were basically a 'perfect storm' that is incredibly unlikely to reoccur.

The unique combination of circumstances:

- GWS's entry in to the comp, with their outrageous financial concessions

- Scully's psychology - that of an emotionally disconnected automaton

- Scully's influences - having Augustus Gloop for a father

- Melbourne's rebuilding position - where decisions where made for perceived long term success, but at short term detriment to the vibe around the club

created an environment where Scully leaving was almost an inevitability.

This is very unlikely to be repeated with Hogan.

Relax folks.

[DeeZee 6,853]

By all reports Hogan is absolutely loving it in Melbourne at the moment,and is really enjoying living and spending time with his appointed mentor Mitch Clark.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Mitch Clark loves the Dees. Relevantly he has also played at another AFL club, and has otherwise been in the system for a while. He has expressed his strong desire to spend the rest of his career at the club, which I've no doubt he will.

Hogan is 17 years old. He is literally still a kid. I expect he would still be quite impressionable.

With Clark as a mentor to him at such an early/pivotal age, I don't expect Hogan would ever want to leave the club. He should hopefully be programmed perfectly over the next couple of years - in fact, I expect he would dream of lining up next to Clark in big finals with the club in the years to come.

Does not strike me as a Scully situation here. Not even remotely.

Clark is the perfect fit.

Jones would be close, but Clarks ability to compare lions to the dees would be valuable to Hogan too.

Calm down kids.

[Alcho Dee 269]

Can't wait for his debut, with big brother Clark to stick up for him should anyone try to start it.... Fire up lads!!

[Nasher 33,166]

I assumed the Scully comparisons were all tongue in cheek, but if people are genuinely afraid that Hogan is going to leave at first opportunity then they have serious abandonment issues.

By next year hogan may be sticking up for Clark. The kid is huge

I get what you're saying, but he just doesn't look happy to be here in the photos I've seen.

Crack a smile once in a while, kid. You're been drafted to an AFL club at 17, surely it's worth a little one.

Or maybe he just takes a [censored] photo, I myself have that particular affliction.

At 17 did you ever start a new job, found yourself surrounded by men and realised you need to work hard for a year before you'll even get a chance to show your wares? If he looks a bit anxious and serious, good. I hope he's got challenges ahead of him, in terms of his development, that make him nervous and serious.

If he was all smiles I'd be worried that he doesn't get the effort and work expected of him, or that we'd drafted Gomer Pyle.

I can't find the link now, but someone posted a bunch of pictures of training from earlier this week. It seemed that the smile couldn't be wiped off Hogan's face; he looked like he was loving it!

MFCSS is well and truly alive.

Not sure if it's my computer or not, but none of these images are displaying properly.
