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

    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

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
