Now, if Jesse could just learn to kick straight, he WILL be a weapon!

 

Ah, annoyed someone else posted it before me! An exciting figure. Also, going at two goals a game is a pretty good start!

For a bonus -

Who leads the AFL for one-percenters, as well as being 5th for marks?

I absolutely love Hogan and really believe he is going to be a star and elite key forward. However, gone are the days where you would recruit a young player and think to yourself 'gee this guy is going to be our marque player, we found one here'

The way the game is now, the thought that dampens the future of our stars is whether or not they will just demand to go home when their contract is up and be forced to accept a trade because of that.. I'm not saying Hogan will do this. I just miss the days where players had less of a say with where they would end up and you could appreciate landing and holding onto a star player and building a team around him rather than the thought of losing him.

Who is Tom McDonald.

For $200 who currently sits 13th for tackles?

You won't give me $200. But for the record, the answer is Cale Morton, he is having a great year.

That doesn't dampen it at all for me. I have no reason to suspect Hogan is going anywhere - plenty of marquee players haven't, in the face of some amazing interest elsewhere. Live in the now and don't spend your whole life crapping yourself over what might but probably won't happen in 5 years time.

I think as the season gets deeper and deeper into the year. The competition will be in awe and realise what melbourne have on their hands here! An absolute competitve beast who isn't even able to drink in the US yet! Wait until he is 23/4 I can see him becoming a locket like figue!!

Did anyone else see him out body two adelaide defenders with his sheer core strength yeaterday?

He is already te general in the fwd line!! Did I say lockett like figure? I meamt Carey!!

Hogan has already had the chance to go home and he extended his contract. By all reports he loves being in Melbourne.

Gee he looks good. My query is on the penetration of his kicking. For those who watched him at Casey and I did can he kick it 50+ metres? I can't remember thinking there was an issue 2 years ago.

"I miss the days when players didn't have as much say in where they play."

Inorite? Who would want employees to choose where they work!

Adapt or die. The club has to find a way to keep (and develop) talent.

Just curious,

What pick did your employer take you at?

Interestingly he's equal 18th for Marks, and equal 17th for marks inside 50M - highlights his lack of experience in finding space on lead near goals (and perhaps on the quality of the ball coming in...

Early days but good signs, when his experience and confidence grows, he should be a gem.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
