The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen

Featured Replies

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
