The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

All year he's been caught under the ball but has done a good job of making a contest and in many cases still taking the mark. Yesterday Frost read him very well and simply didn't let Hogan get a sniff in a marking contest. He needs to learn how to break off from an opponent into space because he's struggled with that all year. But his effort up until mid-way through the third was good. At that point he dropped off. Soundly beaten but still a competitor. All we can ask, really.

Frost worked really hard in that regard. Gotta hand it to him. He out muscled Hogan from the start.

Thought he was pushed under the ball on at least 3 occasions that I can recall....

    Yep, agree. The arm-chopping rule went missing too.

    Well, the young stud snagged 5 goals tonight. Now has 22 goals in 10 games. First Demon to kick 5 in a game for a fair while.

    The only weakness I can see in his game is that he cant kick more than 45-50 metres.... really struggles to get height and distance on the ball. Looks like he tries to use his body for power rather than using his leg and kicking through the ball.

    Aside from lacking penetration in his kicking(which is hopefully fixable), he is perfect.

    He did also play on from that free and miss a goal from 5 metres out.. and he dropped an uncontested chestmark inside 50 late in the game

    just sayin

    MFC leading goalkicker in 2014: Chris Dawes (20 goals)

    Hogan has already surpassed that and hasn't even played half a season. And it's his FIRST season!

    Very special talent.

    Yep, big test with Taylor, Lonergan and Rivs to content with.

    Hope we can kick if to him a bit better than the last two weeks.

    Has a big task next week against Harry Taylor.

    Wouldn't think Harry will pick him up, more likely to be Lonergan.

    Still a big task though.

    He would've kicked 10 yesterday if we were able to get it down to him with some kind of efficiency without handballing in circles a million times and turning it over consistently. He had to roam up to half back to get the ball on a few occasions because our inept defence/mids couldn't clear the bloody thing.

    Much of the delivery was landing right on top of the forwards heads, just like last week. If it was a bit better I think you're right, he would have kicked a few more.

    How does the rising star work?

    Can he get another nomination this week?

    Deserved it more this week, but players can only receive one nomination.

    I saw someone post elsewhere (most likely here) that Jonathan Brown was exactly the same early on, struggling with the 45+ metre kicks.

    Sure as it was with Brown that Jesse will be slamming them through from 50+ in no time.

    He'd be disappointed about the 2 missed goals, and that easy dropped mark in the last.

    He was also struggling a bit with tightness, getting lots of work done in the breaks and testing himself with fast short runs.

    Thought he had a great game in terms of output, but scarily I've seen him play better.

    One day he will rip a game open and kick 10. I just hope it's against Carlton this year.

    I'd prefer it to be against Essendon. ;) Jeffy can kick his 10 against Carlton. :D

    The kid played his eleventh game yesterday thats 11.

    He is a beauty imagine him with a decent mid field and a decent CHF.

    22 goals is a very good return from a 11 game junior.

    Wonder if Jono Brown and Hogan could get together for a chat and a few training sessions.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
