Jesse's on $500k next year. Not bad for 21. Bet Dawes was nowhere near that at his age & if Jesse really plays his cards right he could very well see $1.5m+ish in a few years given the way contracts for key forwards is going.

Man I hope he reaches his full potential at MFC!!

He was interviewed at the Heartland Training session at Toorak Park, no idea what he said  BUT highlight of the day for my 2 little boys... Jesse walked passed us on the way home and said by

The club is very confident that: Hogan will re-sign to a long term contract this calendar year. Despite reports to the contrary discussions with his manager are on-going and positive.  We got c

No, you do the leg work and tell me why he would not.

Cause we have been [censored] for 7 years, and have rebuilt 3 or 4 time snow with similar results: nothing. We are sitting on 4 wins but i'm not sure where the next ones will come from. Looking at Brisbane they were impressive against Sydney, Saints weren't bad either. We have some good young kids coming along to support him but they wont develop if we don't develop them properly, which has been a weakness of ours for a long while.

He lives in Perth, loves Perth as we have to send him home every so often so he doesn't get homesick. The two sides in WA are successful in the sense they are able to build/re-build without too much fuss and consistently push for finals. You get (roughly) a 10 year period of AFL footy and that's it, why waste it sticking around at a club like us?

There, i had my go, now tell me why he would stay as opposed to joining Freo or West Coast?

A bit of perspective on Hogans game.

Same number of disposals as Daniher who was BOG

2nd most marks on ground

2nd most contested marks on ground

3rd most inside 50 on ground.

What I love about him is that he works his way up the ground in an effort to genuinely help the team. It's what Dawes should be doing, not Hogan. Pedersen is a big loss because he normally filled that role. Hogan carries on like a kid and has for the past two weeks, but the delivery forward has been nothing short of deplorable. He seriously looks like he hates playing for us right now. His teammates don't give him a chance. At least he tries to work his way into the game. Something Howe doesn't do, and something Dawes tries to do but is very, very limited as a player.

What was needed was for three forwards to lead in three directions to draw the opposition and give the mids and backs some options to kick to. This is basic footy used very effectively by Norm Smith all those years ago!

I couldn't agree more.. Dawes did the same thing saturday too..

Howe gave us peanuts on the lead front and what annoyed me more was as soom as any kick dropped short to Howe he gave a no contest..

500k is not what Jesse is on next year. It is around the 375k -450 max. Fact

HOGAN DAWES PEDERSEN combo

all 3 have played together once for a loss & our equal lowest score.

2 of 3 have combined for 2 wins 9 losses.

Hogan & Dawes have played solo once each, both resulted in wins & our 2 highest scores for the year.

Definitely food for thought isn't it.

If we played about 500 games a year these stats, in the absence of other information, might really mean something rather than just provide entertaining conjectures.

Riewoldts roughhead et al the new model super forward can work up the ground to be an extra in defence and then on the turnover through hard running be an option in the forward line

This is the next challenge for the young man

I'd try Dawes in the ruck more often. He clogs up the forward line. Hogan, Howe and Garlett would be enough firepower for any team. I think we keep waiting for Dawes to provide that spark but he just isn't that type of player.

He's like a Jamar-Watts-Dunn hybrid lol

Id like Howe in the square. Dawes running from the square and making space on the 50 metre line, Hogan running the other angle from Dawes. Garlett behind DAwes Hogan in front of Howe. Mids Watts Brayshaw etc runing in front of and through Hogan and Dawes pack.

Rotation around the forward line by those three keys to keep churning the opposition and providing constant alternative options

The three must know where each is going and not clog up but rather separate to create space.

The mids flankers and wings must also churn with two in deep two in mid and two covering back

Its a new tactic THE CHURN

IMO until Hogan consistently kicks goals from 45m to 50m out, he should play out of the square (FF) and lead to the ball carrier.

That's not a criticism just a development thing.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
