Jesse Hogan expectations

[The Yarra 83]

I don't like it. He's not going to be a savior and like Watts and Sylvia before him, expecting to much of a young lad will hinder his progression mentally. Just as we are now doing Toumpas now, I can see the fans giving JH a kicking when he has a flat patch.

I just want to see this kid come in without to much media driven expectation.

[Deano74 156]

Lets just let him be Jesse Hogan and enjoy the ride.

From what we can all see with our own eyes he will be at minimum a very good player for us

It is far too late to expect the media to not be following the progress of Jesse Hogan

They will be critical on his bad days and elevate him to godlike status when he excels

Its the way the Media works

Just ask Jack Watts

[Ted Lasso 19,550]

Absolutely no on field expectations, i want him to learn his trade playing alongside clark and dawes, and i want him to enjoy playing in a team that wins a few games, if he kicks his 20-30 goals for the year that would be fantastic but isn't essential

[Chook 15,023]

Apparently there is a player at Casey who is not on our list and therefore cannot play for us. I've heard he might be good, but since he's not a Melbourne player yet I haven't looked into it too much.

I suggest everyone else do the same.

Now taking bets on the first "Hogan is a hack" thread to hit Demonland.

Will it be:

A. After his first game

B. After only kicking 3 goals in the Nab Cup against Geelong in Albury suburban footy ground

C. After failing to win the Rising Star Award

D. After 3 games in a row in which he kicks just 1 goal

...and don't forget "spud, dud, overrated" and "should have picked xyz"!!!!!

Coleman medal next year or becomes trade bait.

Simple.

ah yes, more perpetuation of mindless regurgitation and mythologies created by the media.

please explain to us exactly how supporter enthusiasm had a negative affect on Jack Watts' career

don't tell me THAT there was supporter enthusiasm, don't tell me THAT his career got off to a slow start, explain to me how those two things are linked

thanks

"Hogan biggest drafting mistake since Cale Morton"

"Bring back Lucas Cook"

"Why is Hogan getting a game ahead of Gillies"

Oh what fun times we are about to have on here!

[Ted Lasso 19,550]

The one thing we can be sure of is that at some point there will be a thread saying we should have taken Thomas Boyd instead of Jesse Hogan!

it's a Demonland thing

If he hasn't got the Bluey, Brownlow and Coleman medals sown up by round 3, I'll be demanding we get our money back....... Nah seriously it'll be round 2 when he is our only KPF, as people on here want to trade Dawes, Fitzy, Watts and Clarky will be injured, he'll get triple teamed and still bag 3 but he will be a hack as he hasn't carried 21 other lazy crappy footballers over the line by himself!

Anyway, please oh please PJ give this kid a really bloody long contract, paying whatever he wants :-) if he ends up half a Wayne Carey or 3/4 a Johnno Brown, or even better a whole Jesse Hogan I'll be happy

[Whispering_Jack 31,217]

Brownlow, Coleman Medal, Norm Smith Medal, Michael Tuck Medal, Bluey, OAM and NAB Rising Star in his first year.

Have I missed anything?

Yeah, that's right.

Trying to keep the lid on.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Compared to Watts, Hogan has it easy coming in,

Not only that, he has a bigger body, more mature, more aggressive, has played against men.

Probably played more footy in general than Watts.

Hogan will be surrounded by better forwards

Watts had to compete with the hype of Nick Nat, etc... Hogan competes with no-one.

The only thing Jesse Hogan will have to put up with is speculation that he is homesick.

Brownlow, Coleman Medal, Norm Smith Medal, Michael Tuck Medal, Bluey, OAM and NAB Rising Star in his first year.

Australian of the Year, Nobel prize winner, Archibald prize and Victoria cross.....

Premiership player.

[Melbournepotter 385]

Premiership player.

Now your being ridiculous....

[Whispering_Jack 31,217]

Now your being ridiculous....

No. Ridiculous is when he opens the batting and the bowling for Australia with Ashton Agar.

[Ted Lasso 19,550]

Hilarious stuff!

[Little Richard 6,265]

I really don't think it's beyond Jesse to be the first person in AFL/VFL history to kick 200 goals in a season.

[Little Richard 6,265]

Hogan competes with no-one.

Only God

[Vitamin Dee 903]

Will kick his 100th goal from outside 50, on the run, with both his right and left foot at once.

[Ted Lasso 19,550]

I heard Jesse Hogan is the twin brother of Chuck Norris,

don't want to put too many wraps on the kids but anything less than a brownlow, coleman and 1000 goals in his first year would mean he has had an injury

[beelzebub 23,390]

oh I expect he'll just keep writing for the Age, thats about it for me

[Deestroy All 14,266]

I expect him to rebel against Paul Roos when we're 4 and 4 next year, have him sacked and take over as playing coach.

We'll finish 2nd with 18 wins and 4 losses.

But we lose the grand final because we still don't have a midfield. Jesse wins the Norm Smith of course, to go with his Brownlow, Coleman and AVN Performer of the Year Award.

He does not smile the whole time.
