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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
