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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
