Someone mentioned in the game day thread that Carey was glowing in his appraisal of Watts' game. I'd be interested to hear what he thought of Hogan.

My immediate thought was a Jonno Brown comparison but why not aim for the top?

yeah Carey liked his body work and how big and strong he looked. Said he looks like a smart player and praised him when he kicked that goal from the boundary.

But yeah he was exciting to watch and cannot wait until next year when he can play seniors. Its nice to draft a kid who already had muscle and isnt a weed.

    If he is 75% of a Jonothan Brown I'd be very stoked, the only drama I have is keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for the next 14 months that nothing happens to him or the other forwards, I really want to see all three on the park at the same time. We will kick some cricket scores.

    Australian cricket scores or English cricket scores?

    Hogan, Clark and Dawes- how does an opposition back line match up on that? Throw in Howe and the odd cameo from Sylvia et all and you have a forward line that can compete with the Lyon era.

    All we need is a small forward ala the Wizz and were unstoppable when the ball gets there.

    Our next targets should be a dynamic small and a couple of classy hard midfielders. God I hope Trengove can recapture his junior form!

    kent viney and toumpas will fill that roll, perhaps watts too?.

    I believe Hogan isn't doing the full training load. Hence he

    Faded out in the second game. 12 months of gradual increase in his training load should have him ready fir round 2014

    It was an impressive debut. But Barry Predergast will tell you he's no Lucas Cook.

    He's carrying too much weight, How do we get him to lighten up.......

    And BTW he doesn't smile much so he must be going home....

    Did he do a 14 or something on the beep test at the draft combine?

    Yep 14.2, also came 10th in 3km run. Oh and he's got big hands too, unlike a little liar we know of.

    I believe his testing in this area was outstanding for a big man. Trying to keep a lid on but based on the testing he might end up having all of the best attributes of not only Carey & J Brown but also a touch of Riewoldt.

    He had some runs in the midfield for W.A in the under 18's. His field kicking was superb in the carnival it was more his goal kicking that was his weakness. Man it feels good to be excited about a impact player we know can do a job straight away in 2014. I still have hopes for this year but 2014 and onwards looks very good with the hulk in our side.

  • Quote

    Can you explain why??He is now 18. Is there a cut off date or something??

    O'Mera from G/Coast turned 18 yesterday but he can play this year??????????

    I don't get it....

    I stand corrected......Thought I heard one of the callers say he turned 18....

    Must get my hearing checked.....

    Yeah I thought his field kicking looked very good.

    The fact that he leads up the ground is a massive plus. He can take marks and not just kick goals but set them up. It helps that we have Clarke who if can stay fit will kick plenty.

    We just have to forget the nickname "Hulk" It's just so Corn ball.

    What about the "Beast"?

    It gets us away from a cartoon character and more into the type of attitude we want in a player.

    Can someone tell me who he was manned up on in the north game?

    Scott McMahon...

    So yeah, that brings us back to earth doesn't it?

    I read Scott McMahon somewhere.

    god no. If it were one of their kids maybe. McMahon is a 26 year old experienced defender who should have no problem taking on a kid. Makes it all the more impressive if you ask me

    Hulk?

    maybe 'James',,, would be more inkeeping with the 'MCC'?

    Scott McMahon is a 26yo defender who has played 106 games. He is also 184cm/88kg giving away 12cm and a similar amount in kilos to Hogan.

    North either thought McMahon may run off him, liked his chances when the ball hit the ground or didn't pay too much attention to the mismatch. Whatever way you read it he is not a top key defender

    Will be interesting to see if Port pay him more respect next week

    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!!!

    I guess we may be needing ECT if he is ready to play and he isn't allowed to.

    I havent seen the game yet but some have mentioned Carey, J Brown or pre-knee Ox. Are these fair comparisons at his age?

    What fndee said.

    He's 4 inches shorter...

    The kid will be a player but you will be disappointed if you expect him to dominate the Saints in two weeks time. I am assuming there will be ten times more comments about the Casey game than the one in Renmark.

    Oddly enough those that play better in the game at Casey will be better prepared for the season ahead than those that play well at Renmark...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
