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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
