The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan


McQueen

Recommended Posts

Love the cheer when the guns go up.

Love the fact the Club arranged the Hulk drop by and love that the players are enjoying themselves so much. I would imagine it is a way better place to be an AFL footballer than a couple of years ago

Onwards and upwards

Chris Connolly carrying on about Freo making a play for Hogan stuck in my craw - fuelled by massive sour grapes I would think.

You seem surprised? I would be more surprised if the number of other clubs chasing his signature is less than 17. Whilst it's still early days, he is something special alright.

Doesn't come out of contract until the end of 2017, and you can bet like hell that we'd ensure that he sticks around for the entirety of that contract (unlike GWS). When the appropriate time comes, we'll give him a massive offer in both $ and years.

Fear not chook, this one's a stayer!

I'm not surprised or particularly worried but galled by Connolly's seeming delight in stirring up trouble.

This combined with his behaviour when he was with us makes me think he was a white ant in a past life.

i don't agree, he is still a Melbourne man, but of course free will go hard at hogan, it will be a constant struggle to keep him.

Chris Connolly is a chubby cretin whose unprofessionalism nearly brought us to our knees. It's no coincidence we started improving once his incompetent arse was shown the door. He is a suburban level jokester with no AFL level traits, substance, or relevance

Connolly and Schwab - what a comedy duo

As soon as Freo gave them the chop they became an ultra professional club and a perennial top 4 team.

We will follow the same path

I said in all seriousness a while back that he is the no.1 most valuable asset in the comp

We will have to endure a hellofalot more 'noise' from many clubs until he is signed again

then again for his 3rd contract

Fremantle will make a play for Jesse every year, he's just that good.

I'm very confident he's a demon at heart now through. And freo are going to be left in tatters by 2017

Both absolute campaigners.

Should not be allowed within 5km near the footy club. It does seem we are going down the same path as Freo.

Oh please He was part of the reason for the Debt Demolition ie saving this club........Spent a huge amount of time organising fund raisers at the Dee's and casey.

He played his football for Melbourne and Coached Freo into the finals for the first time in their history

So please enlighten me that he has no AFL level traits, substance or relevance. Yes he may have made some mistakes(Who hasn't) but he put his heart and soul into the Melbourne Footy Club.

It's so easy to sit behind a keyboard and knock people who have contributed to the club in ways you can only dream of.

You only show your ignorance.

This will be deleted soon, as well as my response, but what a ridiculous thing to say.

You don't know him, and the situation we faced as a club a few years ago cannot simply be laid at the feet of Schwab and CC. They love the club as much as you do.

And that little aside about the 'jokester' tells me you don't have much against him other than a bad joke that was jumped on by some bitter individuals to grind their axes on, that began the investigation into 2009.

like most things in life the truth probably lies between the two extremes expressed here re Connolly.

He obviously did some good work for the club but I suspect he carries a chip on his shoulder about not being given the coaching gig and I doubt ever fully supported the coaches who were there during his time.

I can't understand him buying in to the Hogan/ Freo thing without there being some angst behind it. He was only stating the obvious after all

If Jesse scores the first goal he should celebrate something like this.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
