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

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
