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...

And when was the last time you saw a KPF as good as Hogan?

I love watching this kid play footy in a Melbourne jumper.

We had a poor game but last week was a great win.

We'll be a better team than North next year.

Granted that we need to be a much improved team next year to keep the Hulk.

He didn't hesitate extending his contract at the back end of last year, and we were playing much worse footy then. Relax.

He is already pretty close to elite. There is seriously nothing he can't do. Even his set shot routine has improved and I'd back him to convert most of his chances.

I'm sick of hearing this [censored] every day on here.

MFCSS in the extreme.

None of you know the kid, he could be the most loyal bloke going around, but wahhhh he's gunna leave us!

Get over it, worrying about [censored] that hasn't happened and may never happen is is a waste of time.

Just enjoy having a decent player for [censored] sake.

I've lived thru Scully-Trengove-Jurrah-Aussie-Clark.

It's a miracle I haven't had a nervous breakdown yet. MFCSS is to be expected.

Having said that, Hogan keeps me coming to games and I hope that will be the case until I'm 40 and he's 32.

 

Offer him the "buddy" deal tomorrow

Seriously this guy is an absolute beast. He'll be one of the stars of the comp in a few years - and he's ours! He bloody ragdolled that sook Thompson today, one of the premier defenders in the comp.

Will be dominating games Carey style in a year or two. And with Gus and Petracca feeding him the footy it's gonna be bloody formidable for other teams.

None of this guarantees anything of course - look how the Saints went with Plugger - but it gives us a bloody good start.

We all have.

It's no excuse though to be negative about our chances of keeping Hogan around.

Plus, if viney plays like he has we will be the best team in the league. The future is bright!!!

He will stay, you cannot deny we will be a great team. Get rid of the remaining dead wood whilst continuing our good recruiting and we will be set


Hogan is back into second for the contested marks across the league.

Hawkins - 43

Hogan - 41

Lynch - 40

Hooker - 39

Then a gap to Jack Reiwoldt at 33. It's a tight race.

Also up to 36 goals for the year which is nice.

Line up 150-200 women willing to have his children, I want a whole side full of Hogans off spring in 20 years time.

It is evident that this guy is something quite special. As a supporter nothing, nothing, could give us a shot in the arm or more desire to become a new member than by locking this bloke up on a long term deal ( Same for Maxxy). Message to the club,

"How about giving us an early Christmas Present"

Don't dare forget Brayshaw.

Anyone know what the little guesture to the sky was all about right after his first goal today...???

Yes hes good, but the Rising Star means just that, a rising star...... Hogan will be a star, without a shadow of a doubt.

I think he was the only player with the 'mark of respect arm band' on so I'm imagining it was personal and not club related.

Now favourite for the Rising Star with the bookies.

He needed a huge game after Cripps' blinder yesterday... boy did he deliver!

 

If this kid leaves the club I it will just about be curtains for half the supporter base

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
