I have been limited in my viewing of both Patton and Boyd but can say I have watched a fair amount of Daniher and Hogan including watching them both at Windy Hill in the VFL this year. The one thing that I think Hogan has over all is presence. The one thing I am confident he has over all of them is a bit of mongrel.

Yes I think there should have been a weighting score given to the various categories. If we look at the player histories of the likes of Dermie or Wayne Carey,even Arron Hamill, I think agression is a Hugh plus. How would Dermie have scored on this table, under sized, probably little endurance, speed? Not sure! What he did have was aggression, football smarts and the will to succeed. I am backing Hogan at this stage, he meets my criteria that should be a given for all our kids, he likes physical contact. Here is hoping that he can stop jarring his knees and that he re-signs at the end of the year.

    I just hope we can keep him.

    Jeremy Cameron. The kid was all-australian in his second year.

    It's going to be an on-going debate for years to come and I think Jesse Hogan will thrive with the competition.

    Ha! Trolling? Surely.

    How many did Gunston Kick on Grand Final day, as someone else mentioned Cameron is better than all of them , the 3 best forwards taken in the draft since 07 I think are Tex Walker , Jeremy Cameron and Jack Gunston.

    In the Melbourne side I would definately go for Hogan, we have Clarke and Dawes and are not looking for Hogan to play the game the Daniher and Patton will be required to do. I can see Hogan roaming a bot more than a traditionla key forward, a bit more like Franklin does when Roughead plays up front.

    I think we finally have the makings of an A grader in the side with Hogan and rcon hw will win a couple of games for us this year.

    QUESTIONS:

    1. Who will be better in season 2014 (assuming both remain fit) - Hogan or Mitch Clark?

    2. Who will be best in three years time (assuming all remain fit) - Hogan, Watts, Clark or Fitz?

    Actually, to the question posed, nobody has the answer and time will tell. Even then there may well be debate.

    Agreed. Is an absolute star and love watching him play. Made most long term AFL defenders look ordinary and has a lot of sh!t in him. Gotta love that.

    Gunston isn't a key forward. Gunston is an athletic flanker. Gunston benefited by taking the third tall defender, while the opposition tried to counter Roughead and Franklin.

    Gunston weighs 84 kilos and Hogan now weighs 100 kg. Hogan is a key forward. Key forwards are FAR more valuable than flankers. Hogan monsters Gunston like a rag doll.

    To compare a flanker to key forwards is stupid.

    Everyone put your hand up that thought Watts was going to be a power forward , doesn't matter what size you are dumb ass when you boot 4 goals in a winning grand final side, and by the way he never kicked them from the flank. Just on a side note Hogan's standing behind me with a strap on his knee [censored]

    And he doesn't look in very good spirits .

    Hogan just kicked the ball to Byrnes as he was running off the ground, he's walking around bouncing the ball, seems to be a keepings off training session, they seem to better focused than last year.

    Gunston would have received probably the 5th choice defender not third noting Hale started in a FP and Cyril just lurked around.

    I said third "tall". I doubt a "tall" takes Cyril.

    I assume you get my drift.

    Gunston ain't that great.

    Watts would have done even better if he had been at Hawthorn the last 2 seasons, being manned by the 3rd best defender.

    See how he handles a bit more responsibility with Franklin gone.

    Cameron has been great, but he's also had the opportunity to play AFL and prove himself, which the other 4 haven't to date, bar a handful of games for Daniher & even less for Patton.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. 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.
