He has played what, like 11 games? He's not Neitz for christ sake.

At least not yet.

    There are actually people who want Hogan dropped to the twos? Like, seriously?

    You'd be cracking the shits as well with constant, moronic bombs into your forward line.

    Here it is folks! Congratulations! After being lauded as the greatest thing in a generation to come to the MFC, 11 games in Jesse Hogan has offcially received 'whipping boy' status. Following the trend of Sylvia, McLean, Morton, Watts, Trengove, Scully, Toumpas and more, Hogan is now apparently worthy of becoming the punching bag for supporters upset after a loss. Well done lads! Can't wait to see who is next, must be Brayshaw, followed by Petracca.

    Extreme hyperbole is a sport now?

    Atleast he keeps his record of a goal in every game this year.

    Sorry but who here is punching on the kid?

    Nobody here said anything about him having a bad game and being a bad player

    His attitude today was worrying, didn't chase, dropped his head, poor second efforts.

    Sometimes delivery to him will be poor, that's how it goes. He needs to learn to deal with it.

    As much as Dawes is pretty ordinary, at least his attitude is first grade. He always holds his head up and tries to lead.

    Hogan needs to follow his lead in that respect

    All of your previous post is over exaggerated. If you need more explaination than that, no one can help you.

    I'm all for calling a spade a spade

    Its just horrendous how quickly the knives come out around here

    Maybe I am just more shattered by the fact that situation has been created in order for you backstabbers to come out so quickly

    Maybe it is the case that we as a club are completely and utterly incapable of taking the brightest talent and developing them

    History certainly shapes us that way

    I think we all know he can play, but today was a learning curve for him. Delivery was so bad, that at times it seemed to me that he was confused as to what he was supposed to do to rectify things and make a contribution. Maybe this led into a drop in confidence and I addition Max falling all over him must have made it a fairly ordinary day for him. Coaches will work through it with him.

    Hope that at some time during the week he says stuff it, that's not going to happen again. I think he's got the talent and constitution to deal with today and drag a few positives out of it.

    A lot of his game today was influenced by his team mates IMO and not in a positive way.

    God help us if this boy leaves our club, because nothing will save the MFC if that happens.

    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.

    I think people are referring to Hogan's attitude, more than his ability to impact the contest. But to an extent I agree. He's still gonna be a beauty, but this prima dona stuff has to be looked at. Particularly, if it's going to impact on his ability to chase and work like say Jeff Garlett (9 tackles and most on the ground today).

    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.

    Not sure about that. I think he was worse last week. But there's always a caveat. As above, he's a first year key forward.

  • Quote

    The ball is just being bombed in like a bag of [censored]. Delivery has been poor the last 4-5 weeks if not longer.

    The delivery to him against St Kilda was very good. He had two from Jones on a plate, very early. He did kick 5 goals, so obviously, when we clean up our delivery to him, he will really start to impact games. He still needs to bring that forward pressure though.

    Consistent attitude and effort is all part of the learning process.

    He'll learn from today.

    I agree, although I'd say it's his 3rd bad game in the last month (Pies, WCE and Bombers).

    Hogan shouldn't be immune from criticism.

    However, it should be put in perspective.

    If you're going to have a go at Hogan, you should also be having a go at the senior players yet again not playing well (how many of Dawes, Cross, Vince, Jones, Dunn, Garland, Lumumba and Howe played good games today?).

    FWIW Hogan acted 'sulkily' far too much for my liking today. He is going to get beaten every now and again in his career; Hurley's in AA form, Hogan's not the first forward he's had the better of. But I didn't like how Hogan didn't really look to put in second efforts today, which is something he's done this year quite well.

    Bad game, but not even close to a concern, let alone one of the more serious concerns.

    Criticism should be directed at the blokes who just bombed the ball in, hacked it on their boot and hoped for the best.

    Poor Jesse Hogan. I'd direct anger towards the midfield, and to a lesser extent the coaches box for letting it happen for 4 quarters.

    4 quarters ....?

    Happens every game.

    And the captain's one of the worst offenders.

    They just don't lower their eyes, Jones never really has. Vince certainly doesn't.

    I understand it was a slippery day, but too often when they had space they just bombed it in.

    The midfield might've had reasonably good stats, but it is a day they'd rather forget IMO.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
