again, I am not trying to be deliberately antagonistic, but you haven't explained the link - the media and the club created some hype building up to his first appearance.. how does that translate to a lack of confidence since? He felt/feels like he has a lot to live up to, and therefore is afraid of making a mistake, so he plays without backing himself.. I don't know, I am trying to answer it for you? Can you clarify?

I don't think anything I say from my POV will sway you, just as I'm not going to be swayed by yours. Both of us have formulated our subjective opinions on JW over five years, and short of dissecting Jack's brain* for study, not much is going to change there.

*I'm guessing the the AFLPA is against such things too. Boo! to them.

LOl @ the though of the Saints players trying to rough up Hogan

They could sand 5 guys over to trry and rough him up and he will put them all in hospital

Kid is an absolute beast and the opposition will be petrified of him, the same way they were of Barry Hall and Tony Lockett

"To have a guy of his stature that's been involved in the footy club for 12 months and been playing in the VFL, where he played particularly well, I think he gets a jump on a the draft picks from this year," Roos said.

"Where would (Hogan) be in this year? Pick one, pick two, that's what I'm hearing but that's irrelevant for us as a footy club," said Roos.

How good is it knowing that when we watch the draft tonight, we have already got arguably the best player from this draft tucked away
