The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

[Bitter but optimistic 22,249]

6 set shots 6 different approaches but decent result

I reckon his approach is consistent. Ugly and stuttering but consistent.

Bit like a Lee Trevino golf swing.

I read the negative comments last week and didn't comment, because he's not above scrutiny and everyone is entitled to their view.

However, some of the reactions towards one of the best key forwards to enter the game in the past 20 years was astonishing.

Apparently, some of you didn't like his "attitude". FMD. That's what makes him the player he is and will be.

Of all the things to moan about some chose Hogan. It beggars belief.

[What 18,810]

He has kicked 28 goals in 13 games. He will likely kick over 40.

He should win the Rising star without question.

Great get rickyt. Ugly starting position, great contact.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

I thought his kicking at goal today was good but he missed some targets further up the ground. Did some very silly things that lead to turnovers. Trying to do a bit too much. The kid will learn

Is that the old geezer from Happy Gilmore?

I agree that he is the least of our problems, and he could absolutely be the best key forward in the game. However as you said, he isn't above criticism and his body language today was miles ahead of last week and he also played much better, which I don't think is a coincidence.

Yeah, the difference between Jonathan Brown and Matthew Richardson. Who would you choose? I want to see him educated right. He is our biggest player hopeful for decades. Edited July 19, 2015 by america de cali

Like any young player Jesse is going to have down patches, he has had that in the previous couple of weeks but he was back to some good form today. Strangely enough though his form fluctuates with when the midfielders decided whether or not they will look to hit a leading target of just bomb it in in hope.

His first year has already exceeded my expectations and he continues to grow. Next week against the saints is a real opportunity for both Jesse and Melbourne. He's already shown an ability to tear them apart, nothing like building an early liking to playing a certain team, and we can really use it to springboard the season.

Jurrah

Liam Jurrah is by far the biggest wasted talent I’ve seen in my time following footy. Such a sporting tragedy and an indictment on both him and Australia’s failure to support indigenous culture in a positive way.

Dunno if Jurrahs body woulda held up anyhoo.

Even with a kick from the goal square he did a long and stuttering run up. I don't think Hogan's kicking is much of an issue, it's not the best, for it's far from ordinary

[dazzledavey36 55,360]

And to think some idiots last week wanted him dropped.

Classic Demonland..

28.11 for the year. His approach doesn't inspire confidence but it seems to work. He's no Ben Holland, that's for sure!
