David King was just on SEN talking about the best set shots at goal this year (minimum 20). Hogan is the fourth most accurate at 68%. In comparison Jack Riewoldt at 52%.

Posters have commented on his stagnated run up. If he keeps nailing them, he could kick on his head for all I care.

    He's kicked a few from the boundary but I think part of the reason he is so accurate is because he doesn't lead to the pocket too much so a lot of shots on goal are from not too difficult angles which is crucial.

    He's obviously done a lot of work to correct his action. When he first arrived at the club his run up for a set shot looked like me walking home from the local pub after 20 beers.

    You live in a hospital?

    Yep, and this was a big part of last week's win and our accurate 18.5 scoreline - our inside50's were deep and central, which meant most of our set shots were relatively easy.

    Except for Garlett, where the more difficult the kick the more accurate he is!

    That's funny given Hogan didn't play... :rolleyes:

    Yeah, that's it. I cannot stand it when big forwards lead to a pocket in lieu of the Most Dangerous Spot on the ground.

    "There's people there!" they cry. Yeah, there are. There is a reason why they're there...

    He's been deadly accurate.

    Whilst this isn't a knock on him, the only thing I can say I've seen that he doesn't possess is distance in his set shot kicking.

    He doesn't seem to have a huge amount of penetration from 45 + when kicking for goal.

    As for everything else. He's almost perfect.

    Yep I am happy to accept Jesse as he is. There is no perfect model and everyone has their individual differences. What works for one does not work for another. Jesse has definitely worked on his kicking yet it still has some kinks but it seems to work. Peter Hudson had an unconventional action but was deadly accurate.

    He doesn't try to overkick them. That's his secret. That last goal against Richmond in the pocket was a perfect example. Not an easy angle, but made it look easy.

    Would love to see Jesse dish out a super game by out-marking Hurley and kicking a bag.

    6 goals today??

  • Quote

    I predicted he'd kick 8. Going to downgrade that due to poor weather. It's going to bucket down and make for a messy game of poor skills and low scores. He'll kick 7.

    Probably not the weather conditions for a big forward to kick a bag

    But it is Jesse Hogan so anythings possible

    If he can monster one of the best CHB in the game in Alex Rance in the wet then surely he can do the same to Hurley??

    I can't remember who it was but one of the commentators on tele did a mid-year AA team and it had Hurley in it. Might've been Alistair Lynch..

    Personally I think Hurley is overrated and has escaped criticism over the years.

    Jonathon Brown was pumping up Hogan again saying that the only player to give Rance a hiding was Jesse :wub:

    Something tells me Browny likes him.. Feel free to come down and work with him Browndog!

    I put $5 @ $16 for Dawes to kick our first today!

    I'd be wanting those odds for him to kick one for the game.

    I'm sure I recall hearing Jon Brown had been in touch with Jesse and offered his help whenever it is needed.

    He would want to get a few goals sooner or later mate or it might be back to Casey for him!

    Roos will not send him to Casey.

    Not if the bad weather is as predicted. 6 goals in that case would be remarkable.

    Getting paid a lot of money for not much return.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
