Who leads the AFL in contesed marks?


What

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

Who is Tom McDonald.

For $200 who currently sits 13th for tackles?

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.

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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
