Prefer Hogan to boyd, simply because he is doing it against Men

Patton is unlucky with Injuries

    They have Hogans kicking down on all the others and is the only reason he isn't at the top. It is improving the longer he is with us, plus as demonfan said he is performing against men

    I was actually surprised that he rated above Patton and Daniher. Man, with the right development around him we mightn't need a midfield.....

    From the snippets of footage I've seen his action is certainly loooking more fluid and natural than before.

    Will all be great players for their clubs. Lets hope Hogan is the next Carey.

    As long as he doesn't root his mates wife

    Take out that rubbish 'leadership' category (which he wasn't recruited for), and he's equal top, even with the kicking.

    Interesting to read that they rare Hogans ability to play as a key defender as well. I've not read of such a thing... Did he spend some time down back as a junior?

    Best thing, he is on top in aggression and they were always saying "loves to contest"

    Im sure we can correct that in no time down at MFC

    It's Hogan all the way for me. Patton:Inured. Daniher: Seems to be a more talented Max Gawn type but can't kick and will take time. Boyd: Watts was touted as the next great forward. Hogan: Has performed against men. Has the size and the engine to slot in straight away.

    IF (yeah, yeah) we get Pick 1 then there is no right or wrong decision on what we do with that pick - only what we do with that pick.

    Do we go Boyd?

    Do we get two mids with 1 and 3?

    Do we trade for a young midfield star to be?

    Each hypothetical has merit and downside, each one will be judged over time, each one will be seen as an important decision for our future.

    Roos wrote in that article from months ago, when he was obviously starting to get his head around coaching in 2014, that he would trade either or both for established midfielders but when push comes to shove you don't want be a pushover.

    Jeremy Cameron > all of them

    Disagree. Booting 60 goals isn't as hard as you think when the ball is getting kicked almost exclusively to you

    That's not to say he isn't a great player, but I think Hogan and Boyd have more potential

    Take out that rubbish 'leadership' category (which he wasn't recruited for), and he's equal top, even with the kicking.

    He lost overall by 1.6 points, but was docked 1.4 points (7.8 vs 9.2 for Boyd/Patton) for "size" when he is 195cm and 97kg. Patton is 197 cm and 100 kg. Not much different of you ask me, certainly not worth that big a gap in points. They also go on to talk up his versatility paying forward and back but is not scored according to that either.

    Regardless the or of 100 criteria gives equal weir to marking, versatility etc. and ranks size and strength in different categories both equal to above. I'd much rather a player who can mark than is versatile, and leadership I agree is a bonus, and not important in a draftee: I'd much rather on field skills.

    It is an interesting subjective take on it though. And it suggests we could be entering a new era of power forwards as the guard changes a bit.

    Lol, that table reminded me of a pokemon stats page.

    Hogan used Versatility! It's super-effective!

    Boyd has fainted.

    A wild Daniher appeared. He used Sandstorm.

    As a 20 year old, getting the best defender each week and only having started playing footy a few years ago... I think it's very impressive.

    Also considering they get belted every week.

    He played back quite a bit during his junior days, and did very well there apparently. His junior highlights video (YouTube?) shows him down back a lot. Versatile.

    IF we are to get pick 1, I'm warming to the idea of using it on Boyd.

    Otherwise, we'd want to get a hell of a lot for it, if we trade it.

    Pick 1 for Sam Mayes and pick 8?

    Pick 1 for MacRae and pick 5?

    Pick 1 for Armitage and pick 4?

    Pick 1 for Yarran and pick 12?

    Pick 1 for Scooter Selwood and pick 7?

    We'd be playing hardball, any way it goes.

    4 is cringe-worthy.

    3 and 5 are the only ones I'd really consider

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
