The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen

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.

As he was lining up for that kick i said to my uncle that his only downside was he wouldn't be able to make that 50+ distance... Well he proved me wrong (and i was happy about it)

    It does not matter that he cant kick goals from 40+ meters, he will take heaps of contested marks close to goal, and he will improves his kicking from 40 +

    You can watch the goal here http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay

    He kicked it right on the 50 metre line and it cleared the fence Was definitely his best strike so far in his young career.

    I also think that his kicking penetration drops late in games as he gets tired

    He had another shot from around 50m later in the game and it wasn't quite as good

    He obviously is still working on his fitness, and with this improving so will his kicking. We often see skills drop in young players as the game and the season wears on.

    Been a lot of industry chatter this week after that damning non-effort vision from Cripps last week.

    One more blinder from Hogan and it's his.

    Might come down to dees v carlton

    Viney to Cripps will be the showdown of the century.

    And by showdown, I mean Viney burying Cripps' head into the turf for 120 minutes.

    Surely it's the easiest way around to double your money. Couldn't believe he was still paying $2.15 last night.

    Jesse simply has to win the rising star.

    Going to finish with 40 goals and number 1 in the comp in contested marks! Cripps should not even be in the conversation

    Cripps should be in the conversation, but only to say: “Cripps would win any other year, but Jesse Hogan is a once in a generation forward, so…."

    Why not? I havent seen a first year midfielder as good as him for a while, and it's not like he can feed off a Gary Ablett like O Meara did in his first ,Cripps had 35 disposals yesterday...

    How Cripps slipped so far down the draft I will never know.

    Didn't he get taken higher than expected? Everyone was saying too slow.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
