Can confirm that Jesse is NOT the R8 Rising Star.

Who cares... we know how good he is!

Can confirm that selectors are idiots

This always amazes me.

I watched one full game this weekend I have little idea who played well in other games.

One assumes the selectors watched all games.

It is possible someone played better than Hogan.

I watched most games this weekend

Hogan may not have been the absolute standout, but he has been consistently excellent in one of the toughest roles in one of the poorest midfield teams.

How he hasn't earnt a nomination thus far is beyond a joke. He's in better form than some veterans going around.

It's a bit of a nonce award, really. Jesse is clearly one of the most promising talents in the game. We know it, everyone in the footy world knows it, but because on any given week someone else plays a slightly better game, he doesn't get nominated.

The way the system works makes me not feel too sad about him missing out. I don't need a RS nomination to know how good he is, and I don't reckon he does either.

He's my rising star. That's all that matters.

as I said a few weeks ago, (insert absurd hypothetical) if every list was suddenly cleared and all players went up in a mega-draft, our lad would be a chance to go #1 - hard to argue he'd slip past #5 anyway

The irony in Jesse not being nominated yet is that he is going to easily win the entire thing, nothing is surer

It still does not alter the fact he may not have been the best this weekend..

You also have to take into account that he is a forward.

Midfielders always get more votes that deep forwards or backs

Just look at the Brownlow results.

By the way the result is not out yet is it?

and here i was thinking we were keeping a lid on the Hogan Hype.......

PS i love you Jesse, in a man crush kinda way......nah [censored] it in any kind way...

Don't get me wrong, I think Hogan will be our best player since Robbie. But he has one minor weakness....can't kick further than 45-50 meters (accurately that is)!

He did kick a good goal from 50m against Sydney. But I agree, it does lack a bit of penetration.

He'll probably dob one from 55m on his left foot next week now we've said it.

He loaded up twice yesterday and miss kicked both.

He obviously thinks he is a good chance from long distance.

I would not give up on him just yet.

Jesse can roost a ball, don't worry about that!

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

Hopefully only a fortnight away!

I noticed that Jay Schultz may be looking for a new home. Is there a Klink in the draft?

Someone showed me this, taken from Big Footy

Got the radio to listen to the umps mic. Bob Murphy was having a go at Hogan, saying "next big thing".

Hogan: "Where's the bloke you signed?" And pointed at the Dogs bench

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
