Cancel the current contract and offer him 7 on big $ from next year and take him through to 2022 by which time he'll have multiple premiership medals.

That's more like it

 

We average 40 inside 50's a game compare to the good teams who are getting around 60 inside 50's.

Not to mention the QUALITY of those entries and the fact that Hogan only has Dawes as a senior big man helping him out/taking away defenders. Imagine Hogan playing 3rd fiddle to Buddy and Tippet! Makes him seem outrageously good when you factor all this in. Sorry, lid on.

I was waiting for you to bring up the inside 50 count, maybe you have in another thread.
 

The most impressive thing is that he has rarely if ever had a clear, direct pass to him on the chest on the lead. He often cracks it and teammates who bomb it in long or too short. Most of his marks have been contested which says a lot because once we get the decent delivery we at least know he will still make an effort to make a contest when there isn't an opportunity for a clear mark.

“He’s [Frawley's] missed about a month of footy, so he’s going to be vulnerable, in terms [of his match fitness],” Dawes said “I imagine he’ll go to Jesse Hogan, [with] him being the No.1 forward, but if he comes to me, that’s certainly what I’ll be trying and do – work him around and try to exploit his lack of match fitness.”

This thread wasn't on the front page and I thought that was disrespectful to Jesse Hogan.

I love how he has 21 touches, 9 marks and 3 goals, which may well be as good a game as a key forward has had for us in a decade (and probably the most complete forward performance in the AFL this round), yet supporters are neither shocked nor surprised. I think we supporters may be getting 'superlative fatigue' with Jesse.

He's a 20 year old playing his 7th game. He's just just phenomenal.

Will finish with 40 goals and maybe a spot in our B&F top 5. He's played an important role in all of our wins so far. Kick it to Hogan more often and we'll win more times than not.

Bob that is so funny you should say that. I was thinking whilst at the game (after his brilliant effort to get around a player on the outer wing - no ground game Leigh, really?) that i can't wait for his 'break out game'. He just looks so rock solid.

3 lazy goals and 20 touches. His break out game will be a monster.

By the by i loved after we got a goal in the second (i think Newtons free kick goal) that came after jessie either dropped a Lumumba drilled pass or didn't quite get to it he went to HL and apologized. Also dirty on himself for dropping a couple. Love it.

I want him to kick 10 against Carlton.

Otherwise he's dead to me.

Just kidding. I love you Jesse. Don't ever leave me.

Made my night Jaded.

Thanks for the laugh.

When he kicked his 3rd and the lead was out to 33 with 1.5 qtrs left.. i was rubbing my hands thinking here we go.. but alas, not to be.. but that bag of 6 is only a matter of weeks away, no doubt about it

That handball to Pedersen.... holy [censored].

Holy [censored]. I dont think this kid has a weakness in his game.

Is it possible to love Hogan too much?

His work rate is phenomenal. The handballing, ground level work. It's hard to keep track of him as he can lead anywhere and be a target within a few seconds.


*than.

Funny though, well done :)

To be fair, right or wrong, it's what most kids would say these days.

Leigh Matthews at one stage during the game was trying to tell listeners it was when the ball was on the ground.

Pre-amazing handball.

His hair is terrible.

Does that help reduce the love?

Get a haircut Jesse, sick of your shenanigans

I'm sorry Jesse, I don't mean it, I love you so much. Your hair is fine.

I was expecting Matthews to retract after that......waited......waited......nada.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
