The Rising Star Thread - Congratulations Jesse Hogan!

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

I'd happily pay him $7mill over that time.

So would I, but my first offer would be 6

Haha, fair enough.

I just wouldn't play around with him. I wouldn't try to low ball him, I'd just offer him the bigger deal. Each to their own, I guess.

You offer 7 and one of those helpful managers we all love would ask 8....

[CBDees 3,167]

Just imagine the player Hogan will be with a competent midfielder feeding him. Could be the next 80+ goalkicker.

Correction: competent midfield (plural)

They just reported on sunrise that Jesse Hogan has declared he wants to be a one club player.

Did you see Cartlon Twitter handler message the AFL when Hogan won saying "You got your wish".... Whoever runs the social media team down their at Carlton are arrogant twats... Not only do their marketing department come up with ridiculous and self-indulging campaigns like "Can you smell what the blues are cooking" and "They know we're coming" But I also remember a few years ago when one of their players didn't get a rising star nomination, and they took it to Twitter to vent their frustration as well..

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Really? I got to check this out. Bad form if that is the case.

[Gorgoroth 12,950]

Can some one link then, I couldn't see them on carltons Twitter.

Was it the official Carlton Twitter?

Had a look at their Twitter handle and couldn't find anything other than congrats to him and Jesse, although they might've deleted the tweet.

I think most people agreed that whoever won, Cripps or Hogan, they both had amazing years. Cripps will be a star, Hogan will be a star.

EDIT: Gibbs you are a [censored], but I agree it's a joke. It was a joke the it took until round 9 before Jesse finally got nominated. But the other joke is that Cripps and Hogan will both be better than anything you could hope for. Idiot.

Hilarious coming from the softest player in the AFL. [censored] off Gibbs, show some class.

Didn't he kick up a stink when a former player tweeted about him laying a tackle (for the sling tackle on Gray)?

Lol yeah I remember that.

I think Titus O'Reilly had some great tweets on it as well.

Good times.

what does any of that have to do with the rising star?

he is allowed say whatever he wants

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,754]

Simply sensational. Congratulations to him and all at the club who busted their butts to try and improve over the year and get plenty of ball to our Rising Star. We may not be consistently good at delivery i50 compared to the higher ranked clubs...yet.

But we must have done something right! Most likely our conversion rate as we ranked a lowly 16th in both i50s and marks i50. Oh hang on....the Hulk! Ranked 6th of all current day players (and 13th vs all players past and present day from 1965 till now!) in goal kicking conversion with a whopping 69.84%! That's just above the greatest FF of all time, plugger, who finished on an amazing 69.74% in 16th place (rankings based on players who had, or have had, a minimum 50 scoring shots at goal throughout their career. Courtesy: afltables.com)

Lets hope we can build some momentum out of this positive news and finally start stringing a few wins in a row together next year. Watching the Hulks progress is gonna be interesting. 2nd year is usually the toughest for most new blokes. Fingers crossed.

This was his second year...which means next year he's going to be truly awesome.

There's arguments for both players to have won the award, but it was all but unanimous - Hogan 49 votes from a possible 50.

Highest ever polling in the award, I think?

Correct. Although they haven't always had ten judges awarding votes.

[daisycutter 29,613]

Correct. Although they haven't always had ten judges awarding votes.

so, anyone before get 98% of maximum vote

the more judges the harder it would be to 98 or higher

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Where can I find all his post winning interviews, missed most of them.

From what I read here, Jesse admires the ability of his team mates to go when it's their turn and to put their head over the ball- congratulating Brayshaw and Viney for these traits. It's clear that Jesse wants to play in a team of competitive hard-arses. If you don't put in, and give it 100, you are at risk of being dropped from Jesse's team.

Culture changer. Most important recruit in my life time, thanks god we got our house in order just in time for the arrival of Christ.

Lastly thanks Neeldy- who would have thought it would be one of your moves that would bring this club back into relevancy? (And thanks Scully)

[pitmaster 3,549]

Sign Hogen for 10 years at 1mill per year now!!!

And learn to spell his name so the contract is legit!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Correct. Although they haven't always had ten judges awarding votes.

I'm pretty sure Rivers got full votes when he won it as did Selwood.

[Gator 17,332]

Hogan's main aim for the season was to not be dropped. I'm a "very competitive man" and I was determined to "not be dropped".

Jack Watts drops himself.
