We'll get less return if we send him to Casey...

 

Needs a run at Casey and an attitude adjustment.

Stop believing your own hype.

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

if delivery was AFL standard the rest if your post would be legit

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.

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

well he's got to lead for it, doesn't he

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.

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.

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

This.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
