This young fella is a gun. I've never seen a (2nd year) but effectively a first year player show so much, so much love for the contest with the skill to match.

How do we keep this bloke?

 

I think its safe to say he was worth the wait

Best 4 game, 20 year old key forward I have ever seen

 

"I don't think we've seen a better start to a career from a key forward than Jesse Hogan."

—Jonathan Brown, 24 April, 2015


13 possessions, 10 score involvements.

O.M.G.

He's just desperate to lead as well, which is fantastic for such a young bloke. Loves responsibility.

He copped Tahlia in game 3 and rance in game 4 haha hasn't taken long

 

Generational player. God.

Looking like he'll kick 40+ goals in his first season. Missing 2014 may've been a blessing in disguise. He's monstering the best key backs in the AFL at the moment.

Rising star nomination chance maybe? Nah probably go to a young mid who piles up 20 odd possessions in a big win.

Simple - we keep playing like that

He has arrived....confidence growing each game...Carey like.


Does anyone know the record for most goals kicked by first/second year player? - Cameron?

2 goals a game is ok, but the really good forwards, like Carey, averaged 2.67 goals a game. :cool:

It's because he's no good.

*KEEP A LID ON IT*

Love him, love him, love him

Just watching the WA after footy program with the usual muppets which includes Adrian Barrett talk about Hogan. Asked if someone like Lachie Neal would be sufficient compensation to get Hogan back to Freo, they said no - no chance.

Anyone that went and saw him play in the NAB Cup at Etihad, in February 2013, would have known we had a serious player on our hands.

But for him to be monstering the best key defender in the game after four games is something else.

Who would win? Hogan vs Tommy Mac. Let's hope we never have to find out. :)

Coleman kicked 100 in his first season

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
