    Rising star is the kiss of death for MFC players

    Hogan is very good rising star or not

    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?

    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)!

    it does appear hes not a very long kick of the footy. Its about the only thing he cant do

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
