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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
