Jesse Hogan WOW!

Featured Replies

Super impressive.

I loved the way he worked up the ground also, he was prepared to spread far and wide for an opportunity. Seemed poised, confident and a part of a team.

yes, yes, yes.

I really got a feeling with so many new players on the ground and from established players like Jones and Watts that there was a feeling of a corner being turned. I'll qualify that by suggesting that it might not lead to a swing in our win to loss ratio. But it feels like there has been enough of a turnover for us to get over the horror of seasons past.

 

Getting number one my back tomoz at the family day. Loved his under 18 carnival and god he looks good.

My head is saying the opposition probably weren't paying him too much attention, it is only a practice match and it is very early days and I shouldn't get ahead of myself

The Melbourne supporter bit of me is thinking he has great hands, can kick, had enough of an engine to go find his own ball on the wing, is quick, made decent decisions, is 6 foot 51/2, is 100kgs and just turned 18. Oh and he has that don't f...k with me attitude that might excite Mark Neeld amongst others

Ok, I got ahead of myself

 

The kid is good and is only going to get better... however, the most surprising thing for me is that this thread has gone to its second page and still no-one has suggested he is a future captain.

The OP says it for me. And plenty of other posters above.

Wow.

Just: Wow!

First time I've seen him play tonight. He pretty well did not do a thing wrong - hard to believe for such a young bloke. Knew where to go, how to position himself, where to kick to a team mate. And isn't he built like a brick dunny!

I hate it when we get ahead of ourselves, as we have on too many players in the past, but I'm letting the reins out on this one.


He moves really well and his field kicking needs refinement but he looks like he will make it easier to be Jack Watts...

Kudos to the club for getting that deal done and getting those three.

I just blew the dust off my Mathew Warnock player worn jersey for a very good reason tonight.

Number 1 is back baby!

Absolutely loved his whole presence on the field tonight. Hogan looks to have that classic forward dominance with added modern skills. Look out Franklin i say.

Absolutely stoked with this kid. Already proven to be a better KP player than watts. His hunger for the contest is awesome. Plus he's a big boy! There wont be any waiting for him to grow into his body with this bloke

Watts hasn't been a KPF for a year or two. I though Watts was great tonight and went at the footy. Loved Hogan, but the comparison is just so off the mark.

i thought that was rhyming slang for a second there......

don't worry mate, i was excited too.

Mitch.

Viney.

Hulk.

All of a sudden (kinda) I have that pride (gone since Neita retired) creeping back in...

A bit early, Stuie. I want 60 games under Viney's belt, 40 for Hoges and 30 injury-free games for Mitch.

Is plutonium illegal to digest according to ASADA? If so hogan is in trouble.

Can see Facebook/twitter/bigfooty now after he kicks 20 in the first month at casey

"Play hogan"

"What a joke hogan isn't in the team"

Ect ect

Get the number 1's ready for 2014!!!

You misunderstand me. Not saying the young fellas are instant superstars, but those 3 guys are the TYPE of players (and people) that make you proud to be a supporter and walk a bit taller if you're a player.


All my life I have watch the Demons trying to find talent. I thought Allen Jackovic to be the most talented and look what happened to him.

Hulk may have been good, but oo many have sat in the same company. I'll cheer when and If he reaches his best for and period longer than 5 years

I'll cheer his first game, his 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. I don't need to wait 5 yrs, Demonsterative. My support is not conditional.

This boy will lead us to the holy grail

Ahh......The Grail....

Yup!

Watts was fantastic tonight I thought. Great in his role in the back pushing forward.

You will not cheer someone unless they play at their optimum for 5 years?

high-expectations-asian-father-template.

I was hoping to be excited by Toumpas &Viney tonight. Let's not take anything away from them but Hogan was something else. This kid is ineligible to even play this year but the first player since the ox that could legitimately be the dominator of the competition. I will probably get bagged for this post but I can't remember ever seeing a 100kg 17 year old who can mark, kick, find position and got attitude.

Its amazing that he is already 100kg. Next year i expect him to be even more ripped and tone bit like jack darling!

Jesse loves the Dees and is super impressed with Nathan Jones's work ethic. Dont let that lack of smile fool you. An exciting prospect no doubt after tonights efforts - youd have to think top 4 in next year's draft based on that result against AFL players!

Number 1 just about you think, at minimum top 2... how often to KPF prospects like this come along!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
