The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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!!

    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

    The kid is in his first year

    Lets give him a chance.

    He was not the reason we lost.

    That joy belongs to players who have been a round for way longer and make his job very hard at times.

    This clearly isn't factual information.

    75k range is a big gap for a "fact" ash. care to expand on that?

    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 think there are enough reasons already. Probably won't happen though.

    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.

  • Quote

    Another match-winning performance!

    I was watching on the TV, but his second goal looked he was kicking from 50m and it cleared the fence. So while LONG kicking is not his strength, he does have it in him.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
