Was more concerned about complaining about the entries rather then contesting. Essendon were rebounding way to easy today.

Some pressure and chasing would've made a big difference, good entry or not.

Oh a first year tall forward how a bad day in slippery conditions with team mates bombing the ball to horrible spots all day? What a friggin shock.

He's a first season key forward playing in a pretty average side who has kicked at least one goal every game he has played this season. He was beaten by Hurley today - Hurley has beaten plenty of good AFL players. The body language could improve but we are a much better side with him.

Too many apologies for Hogan.

Hurley had 9 marks and 24 kicks to Hogan's 6 and 13.

It wasn't the delivery today.

But he is a kid, he will learn...I hope :unsure:

Key forwards are all about delivery. Have you watched much football in the last 50 yrs?

We need ones who can also apply pressure and force turnovers if the delivery is bad. Not just sulk

Probably watched more football than you over the last 50 years!

Hogan was thrashed no matter how you look at it: in the air, on the ground, in contests and in hunger!

You don't want to see it well that is up to you.

But as I said he is a kid and he will learn.

Seriously doubt it.

Not denying he was thrashed, but would be a different result had the ball been delivered to him at AFL standard like Daniher received.

Daniher took a number of pack marks. Hogan didn't.

These being from 50/50 contests.

Tough crowd. First bad game of his career. He's a competitive lad, don't reckon anyone will be more filthy than himself.

Nothing to see here.

Better than 50/50 mate. The ball was delivered to his advantage. He and the Bombers made the most of their i50s.

Lol. Yes cos the delivery inside 50 at both ends was exactly the same. I mean, apart from the fact the Bombers used the middle occasionally... And directed their kicks to the leads... And didn't play on from the boundary to kick a blind bomb... But yeah, apart from that, exactly the same.

Disagree. Two in a row. He has some bad habits creeping into his game. Will right himself but he is not above criticism.

I'm as big a fan of his as any, but sometime you need to put your foot down and say that his attitude isn't good enough. Problem is he knows he has us by the balls, because he can leave and we need him to stay. Also, we beat Geelong without him.

No issue with the output. He will have plenty of bad games in his life.

Big issue with his attitude. He needs to cut it out now before it becomes habitual.

What a load of rubbish.

Did Jesse have his own drink bottle today full of his own bath water?

Stop complaining and falling into bad habits and get back to contesting and working hard

No. That was just your sippy cup. Had his delivery been that of Daniher's the result would be different.

He was lazy today and did not want to compete

Needs a huge reality check and hopefully he got it today

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
