Hogan Vs Daniher Vs Boyd Vs Patton

Featured Replies

 

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?


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.

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

You beat me to that call.


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.

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?

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

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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
