the GWS bloke #35 was so overcome simply by being near Hogan in full flight that he seems to just pass out on the deck without anyone touching him

love the way jeffy just casually steps over his prone body and stares at hoges in admiration

    Think this is what Roosy was referring to on 360 tonight. No other player has achieved what Jesse Hogan has in their first year.

    How can you debut in your second year ?

    When you are injured for your entire first year on an AFL list as an eligible player.

    You don't exactly gain a year of playing experience when you spend the entire year sidelined though.

    I hate hearing this argument from foaming Carlton fans. And 2015 is Cripps' second playing year, ironically.

    He would've kicked 70 if he played for a top 8 team this year.

    44 in a mostly rubbish team with minimal inside 50's and while probably closely managing his body/injury prevention.

    It's nothing short of incredible.

    I'm not tearing up, there's just something in my eye.

    I reckon this bit of play is the highlight of Jesse's wonderful first year.

    Agreed. That and Salem's tackle on Cameron were the two load blowing moments of the day

    It is a very Ox-like play. Used to love the Ox running into open goal against Essendon trying to damage their cheer squad with his kick

    The 2015 leading goal kickers is a good read. Roughead, Cloke, N.Reiwoldt, Petrie & Pavlich all kicked less goals than Jesse. Hawkins kicked only 2 more than him, Franklin only 3

    In his first year of AFL. The more you analyse it the more stunning it gets

    That's frightening if true. Imagine if Hogan was getting the kind of delivery Roughead gets at the Hawks, Pavlich at Freo or Cloke at the Pies.

    Granted all three players sat a few games out, but the point stands.

    Yep. We must use Hogan’s games/marks/goals tally from his first year in order to be fair.

    G / M / G

    0 / 0 / 0

    What a dud.

    Seriously, how else can we compare Hogan with those players.

    I think it gets missed in the hype about Hogan but his quick hands and brain are a delight to behold. Some of the handpasses were fantastic. There was one rocket to newton that he fired off after he took the ball out of the air AND before he hit the ground. He has done things like that quite a few times this year.

    For a big bloke to have skills and a quick mind like that is quite incredible.

    And for that goose Leigh Mathews to say he is not a ground player is freaking ridiculous.

    Leigh Matthews had his skill set ( which included punching people who weren't actually facing him , and trying to kill Peter Giles ) Un biased, common sense analysis isn't part of it.

    Leigh says a lot of things with limited knowledge. He's no longer a student of the game, but gets asked his opinion on most things.

    He kept on asking about Fitzpatrick down back earlier in the year when he'd been playing this role for weeks down at Casey. I don't blame him for not being across things, but I also don't value his opinion as much as I used to.

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-09-24/im-rapt-the-supporters-want-me-hogan Extracts: The Western Australian-born Hogan, who is contracted until at least the end of 2017, says he is rapt that the Melbourne faithful have taken to him and want to see him in red and blue colours for the rest of his playing days. :wub:...Looking ahead to 2016, Hogan said he was excited about gaining some teammates back from injury to create a revamped forward line, including Sam Frost and Dean Kent...“I can’t wait to develop myself to another level and not get complacent and just really strive to be part of the collective.”

    Yep, a forward line of Frost, Kent, Hogan and Garlett sounds pretty good.

    He doesn't give anything away re a contract but he sounds very happy with life over here, his footy and his teammates.

    Have to love his honesty in saying how hard it has been to settle on the other side of the country.

    I hope his enthusiasm infects some of his more laid back teammates that have been around a while if they survive the trade season.

    Pretty tough asking Jesse in this interview about fears of losing him out West.

    I think a lot of players would say things like "I would like to be a one club player" or "I want to be a part of the team when we're finals bound".

    But Jesse was honest. He loves his home back out West. He's going to keep his options open and take it "year by year" at this stage. Of course its a bit worrying for Dees supporter but I would rather he be honest.

    That's not the real reason though. His manager has pointed out what he already knows: that his next contract will be gigantic and he will have many options. Could just as easily end up at another vic club for the $$$$

    This team will ( hopefully ) grow and the camaraderie will bite deep ( I think) These young lads will see a window and sense the history and will want to hold that cup up.

    I honestly cant see Jesse going anywhere if we do indeed start to climb the ladder. It will become infectious

    You've made my day Bub.

    Heard from the axiomatic 'reliable source' that Roosy is currently walking around with a smile he just can't wipe of his face. Apparently he is pretty chuffed at landing another 'big fish', which will be announced when the time is right.

    I just hope my 'reliable source' is correct.

    Aside from the cash it's wins that will keep him at the Dees. He will want to be at a rising successful club, next year we get enough wins to be in finals contention and keep on that upward trend I believe he will want to stay as he will (hopefully) feel he's building something with the likes of Viney, Gus, Tracca, TMac, Salem etc. Hopefully Harmes can build on his last game as well as they're good mates.

    The consensus amongst commentators (apart from that stroker Duh-Wayne) is that the MFC have the most promising set of youngsters.

    I reckon Jesse knows this too.

    Oh and Jeremy Cameron in his first year= 29

    Are you sure that number isn't the amount of contested marks Cameron has taken over the course of his career? :P

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
