The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

Its also why the Saints went for McCartin over Petracca. The price of a key/power forward has skyrocketed since the Buddy deal......

And again with the ludicrous Boyd deal.

    Not just Dees fans. Went with Hawks fans to that game and they were genuinely disappointed he was not going to play.

    I've got a feeling Jesse's gonna get mad, turn green and kick his first 5 goal bag this weekend.

    Set your recorders boys and girls.

    It's definitely imminent. I can feel it too.

    Won't be too disappointed if it happens on the QB weekend when I'll be present. First time at the MCG since 2008. Can't wait.

    I live in Tasmania, not New Zealand. :P

    I've had three kids in that time, moved house three times, changed jobs three times including one complete career change. Haven't had the cash or the time to be gallivanting back and forth across Bass Strait. Tried to go last year (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/36432-mcg-to-tullamarine-airport-travel-time/) but circumstances didn't go in my favour. Going to try and make it happen at least once a year from now on.

    And all it took was Jesse Hogan.

    You don't ask for much do you!

    I understand your situation only too well but when you live in WA, Tassie seems like a 9 iron to the MCG.

    Indeed. Mostly the issue has been guilt - didn't want to go on these junkets while the Mrs was stuck at home with the constant baby churn. Kids are a bit older now though so we have a bit more freedom.

    Anyhoo. Jesse Hogan eh?

    This from Wayne Carey this morning:


    When Hogan was lining up for one of his three goals against the Doggies last week, rival skipper Robert Murphy was apparently doing his best to put him off by screaming "You can't miss this, you're Melbourne's great white hope".


    Indeed, in his 16th season, Murphy probably had every reason to believe that sledging a first-year player might work. Which is why Hogan's response, after kicking the goal, is truly priceless. "And there's your great white hope," he retorted, pointing to Tom Boyd, who was sitting on the Dogs' bench at the time.

    So good to have players that the wider competition are noticing. Has been a while (see, eg, Jones being left out of top 50s his whole life despite being a beast).

    Can't wait to have Petracca back with Hogan, Brayshaw, Salem etc next year. I reckon we're really building and people will sit up and take proper notice soon.

    Loved that sledge when I read it over coffee this morning. I had only just logged on to post it but pleased to see that BBP had beaten me to the punch.

    I get the buddy deal - again...exposed form. Whether we like Buddy or not we have to agree that on his day ( and he has quite a few of them) he is a game winner.

    Boyd has no exposed form to justify the tag.

    I was gobsmacked at the price GWS paid for Scully but even he had shown during his two seasons with us he could run all day. Did not think he was ever worth the money paid but at least you had some idea of what you were getting.

    The Boyd play is the riskiest investment in AFL history that I can recall.

    He's going to get hold of a defence at some point this year and kick a bag, imo he's been building each week

    Boyd was bought and paid for on future expectations - both of his form and also that the salary cap will soar post-2017 and his salary will be more the norm than the exception.

    Hogan is going to be earning a large fortune - justifiably - in his next contract.

    I think Hogan could get his bag of goals at any time... he's not building towards it, but rather he's waiting to get consistent quality delivery from the mids.

    I don't think there's anything about Hogan that could be described as waiting. He's here.

    To state the obvious, the bag is most likely to come on a day when we get right on top of somebody and smash them, I'm thinking R11 vs the Saints or R16 vs the Lions

    I'm actually quietly confident that he will boot 5 this weekend against Port.

    He'll kick 6 next Monday on the big stage.

    I am not writing Boyd off as he is 19 but are you confident his form will soar ?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
