Yeah not sure why he'd be on the footy show. I mean surely he would know he will get asked about his contract. 

 

Makes me more confident he loves the club and will be with us long term.  I see no other reason to put yourself on national television just three days before the season opener when you just did a presser a week ago that got a lot of attention itself.

how about.. he does what he is told by the club, which is to do media and raise the profile of the club, very simple

They're crossing live to Hogan. 

 

This is is like when LeBron chose Miami.

Just an interview.

live though, Hogan is a strange one in front of the camera so could be worth a look. 

Prepare for it to be over analysed and conclusions to be drawn from the slightest of his twitches by the naysayers on here. 

I wont be watching...but can someone please keep a tally of how many times he uses the word "obviously".

At least once so far ... :lol::)


He looked like a cast member from, 'Pineapple Express'.

Also don't think he was actually in store at the adidas store. 

Aside from that, just said the usual dribble about contracts and set shot kicking.

Every panel member tipped GWS, and now you can turn the show off.

I forgot to count but it was about 7. 

 

Nothing interview really, was at some Addidas reopening, but he was alright, joked about his marking in the NAB and let it known that it was just banter with the Ox. Isn't changing his kicking.

thank christ we didnt rush into signing him up to a Tom Boyd like contract

What a disgraceful performance 

Has kicked 2 goals in a row since you posted this, but i agree

 

Needs to think on his feet. 

Spent 3 quarters being beaten in arm wrestles before starting to move and lead and provide a valid target and suddenly picks up 3 goals. 

 

I was getting sick of yelling at him to lead and provide an option in the first and third quarters

Very disappointing first 3 quarters, but he took it on his own back in the last and wont the game for us. Im so conflicted ...


It was the worst delivery you could imagine in the first 3 quarters, should have brought it to ground a couple of times but it was hardly all his fault. 

In fact I can hardly remember him taking a simple mark on a lead inside 50 in any of his games. It's always hard work to get his goals. 

Worked his way into it, well done to the coaches with getting him up the ground, really needs the forward line to himself though. Frost and Pedersen don't help Jesse at all.

Care to take that back? He won the game for us.

Yes I take it back, was just a post out of frustration.

Hogan is god.

If the Hulk averages three goals a game and plays in all of them, that's 66 goals which would be much better than last year.

Just as a reminder, here are his 2015 goals.

Hogan was given the royal treatment by a very strong opponent and yet the umpires could have been a little kinder to him early in the game. His comeback around the ground after such a disappointing start was nevertheless pretty handy. 

There will be better days.

He didn't offer any leads in the first three quarters, his teammates were forced to sit it on his head because he simply wasn't moving.

very true clint, and i'm sure the coaches will be correcting this. picked the wrong opponent to arm wrestle. he'll learn

No coincidence that the forward line structure improved in the last quarter when Pedo was put into the backline.

And after the coaching team had given him a rocket by sticking him in midfield so he would be forced to break out of a jog. If he led hard today, he could have kicked 6 no troubles.

Yep, that helped too, but having a pack of 6 players in the way wherever you want to go didn't help...

 


 

He needs to get the sookes out of his game.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
