If jesse doesn't win rising star its a joke.

Cripps is a talent no doubt but jesse has made a far bigger impact, scalps this year include a couple of all australian full backs.

It's also much harder for a key position player to make an impact early on, alot of mids are able too.

 

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.

Close but I will go with Jakovitch myself. Yes he did do his back but I think some hard work would have got him back on deck. He was a goal kicking freak with a poor work ethic.

From today's set shots it appeared he's comfortable kicking from 45 - 50m. Outside of 50m his effort affects accuracy.

Still pretty bloody good for a 13 gamer.

 

Was interesting to see him lead up to Stretch (?) just before the 3 quarter time siren, and get angry when he didn't get the ball, but good to see him go and give him a high-five after he missed the shot after the siren. I think he's just a really competitive kid who wants to kick goals and win

This, I believe, is all related to the confidence he has in his back and hamstrings. It's all linked. I have no concerns about Jesse's ability to lengthen his set shot kicking once his body is right. Until then, he's a beautiful set shot from 40-45m, on most angles.

ANB. I was surprised he missed it. He's been shown to be a lovely set shot.

 

How old was Jackovitch in his first 13 games?

Not sure if rhetorical but he was 23.

He kicked 11 goals in his 9th game.

I think the Hulk will need a few more games where he clearly dominates and kicks more than 2 or 3 goals. There's no doubting he's a rising star but I reckon the criteria will be heavily biased toward consistency. A few real eye-catching performances will help Jesse a lot.

And let's not forget about Gus, either.

He consistently kicks 2 goals a game. That's as consistent as a key forward can be, let alone at his age!

He's now kicked 1 bag of 5 and 1 of 4, so he is definitely a chance.

If he has another 1 or 2 games where he kicks 4 or more, he will win the thing hands down, if the selectors know anything about footy!

Agree with all of that however, my point was that if he remains consistent, as does Cripps, it will be the eye-catching games that get Jesse over the line.

Not sure if rhetorical but he was 23.

Edit: stats look like shyt - removed

Jakovitch was as lazy as!

This kid in contrast works his arse off and even took a saving mark down back yesterday.

This kid's part of a team, Jacko wasn't.

The rising star award is a joke.

First look at the judges:

Gillon McLachlan

Mark Evans

Danny Frawley

Warren Tredrea

Glen Jakovich

Cameron Ling

Luke Darcy

Matthew Richardson

Kevin Bartlett

Kevin Sheehan

Second, how on earth did they vote Lewis Taylor over Marcus Bontempeli?

Third, a lot of past winners careers have only been serviceable, Chris Scott (I know he won premierships, but a rising star and best player of his crop?), Michael Wilson, Justin Koschitzke, Rhys Plamer, Paul Halesby & Jared Rivers.

Fourth, there are a lot of misses over the years. Not many Brownlow medalists or Coleman medalists in the honour roll; only three have won a Brownlow so far (Buckley, Goodes, and Cousins)

Fifth, the eligibility criteria is all over the shop. Some guys have been nominated twice (Jordan Gysberts and Sam Blease stand up please). Although the list of dual nominees looks almost as good as the winners list.

So in my opinion, it will be OK if Jesse does not win the award.

Heres the number of AFL clubs that if given the choice would prefer Patrick Cripps in their side rather than Jesse Hogan

0

Hogan has received votes in the AFL Coaches Association award for the 4th time, which is almost a third of the games he's played. Extraordinary for a first year key forward. And each time he's received votes from the opposition coach, not just his own.

Against Brisbane it was the first time he's received the full 10 votes to be judged BOG.

Yes sure but when on song he was incredibly exciting and entertaining

Hopefully he starts to get more penetration on his kicks as he develops. It's pretty much the only thing lacking from his game.

That mark in the last quarter was simply a thing of beauty.


Does everything think the not being able to kick 50+ metres will sort itself out? Like he even looks uncomfortable at times from 40-45m. I am not trying to put him down etc he is awesome but is this something that can be fixed easily?

He kicked a goal from just outside the 50. Therefore the kick was at least 55m.

I think he's sorted it out.

He had tight hamstrings a few weeks ago hence the reason he struggled kicking long.

Decipher mode engaged.

Disengaged, couldn't be bothered.

I think it can be developed, get the right people around him doing a technique that will work for longer distance. Perhaps Neita could give him a few tips, or get Jonno Brown or Carey (both who seem to have man crushes on him) down to help him develop. I don't know that he can necessarily sort it out himself, but that's why you employ coaches isn't it?

It's most likely due to confidence in his body, especially after the injury concerns with his back, etc. He'd be rightly concerned about penetrating kicks and the risk it poses to his back.

As long as he stays healthy the confidence will sort itself out.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
