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.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
