Hogan Vs Daniher Vs Boyd Vs Patton

I've only seen Hogan play twice, once on the box and once at Vic Park.

In the televised game, he could have easily kicked ten goals, had he managed to hang on to marks that on other days would have stuck.

At Vic Park, the thing that stood out was his speed over the last ten metres to get to the drop of the ball. He hits those packs at serious pace.

That, and his swagger.

    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.

    You obviously haven't been a long term reader of this forum......."judged over time"!!! The first mark he drops, the first goal he misses, some morons here will label his as "a spud", "wrong pick"...etc etc

    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.

    what about pick 1 for Rory Sloane?

    i'd take that as a done deal

    Not enough.

    The crows would have to find more for us.

    Maybe for Brad Crouch & a 2nd rounder?

    I'd accept that.

    The problem is see with selecting Boyd ourselves is potentially creating a glut of tall forwards, meaning a kid gets to the point where he is frustrated and wants to move on due to lack of opportunity.

    I guess if they are that good (as they look to be) Hogan and Boyd would quickly force Dawes and even Clark out of the side.

    I just wonder if that asset could be used to significantly better our midfield much quicker.

    i.e. for an equally significant talent, just midfield-based rather than KPF

    Injuries have been doing that pretty well so far :-((

    And, on the subject of injury, are there any updates on Jessie's knee?

    WTF is happening ?

    I love Sloane too, but his skills are average. He's a goer and a great get at pick 40 odd, but pick one is madness.

    I'd be happy with just Crouch in return. Absolute gun. Still think we should draft Boyd instead though.

    If Boyd and Hogan forced Dawes and Clark out of the side then i suspect that Casey might end up with a Premiership before us [maybe as a reward for developing Hogan for us this year]. Frankly, B&H are much likely to be long-term prospects and have much more upside as younger, fitter and absolute guns. With picks 3 & 20 left and with the prospect of some mids wanting to get onboard during the trading period, we will stilltrade/recruit some ready to go midfielders [in addition to Voney, Jones, a fitter Trengove and Toumpas each a year more developed after a pre-season under Roos]

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

    Reminds me of a young David Schwarz, I saw most of his early games and he was really aggressive and had to be quietened down by Lyon at times.

    Would be happy if Hogan turned out to be the player Schwarz should/would have been if he didn't suffer those injuries.

    I feel sorry for Daniher as the next couple of years will be hard at Messendon.

    Which Daniher do you feel sorry for, the player or the caretaker coach?

    Members, Supporters, Players and other innocent people at Messendon.

    Crouch wouldn't be worth pick 1 and a second round pick.

    Adelaide wont give him up.

    The kids a freak

    Reportedly, so is Boyd.

    If they want us to give up pick 1, they would.

    Otherwise we'll deal with someone else.

    I like Sam Mayes.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

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.

      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.
