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??

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!

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
