In the last 2 weeks from sets shots he's kicked 2.5 and 4 that failed to score. 2 shots out of 11 is a horrible ratio. He needs to fix his kicking or he becomes nothing more than an average player sucking up to much salary cap. 

 

Value has dropped further today, starting to look as if trading a first rounder would be out of the question,  for someone who can't kick the ball over a jam tin, and appears to be suffering from illusions of grandeur.

It's delusions.  If you're going to troll you could at least look like you know what you're talking about.

I think the speculation is affecting him. 

can be easily fixed :rolleyes:


The guys a footy monster....but honestly, set kicks like godzilla

3 behinds from 4 shots when we were still in the game is not good enough.  Today another opposition spud(Redpath) out scored him again.

2.6 over two weeks isn't good enough from any forward. Kicking needs work, or something is off. He kicked 7.1 only a couple of weeks ago.

He kicked seven goals under the roof of Etihad.

His kicking lacks penetration and is therefore far more likely to be impacted by even the slightest breeze.

A million dollar forward wouldn't miss the ones that Jesse does.

He does need to work on his run up. "It's the ball drop!!!" I hear you scream.

The run up is different every single time. His ball drop is variable because of it. He needs to come in off 5 or 7 paces instead of a Wes Hall pushing off the sightscreen run up.

He can't reliably kick more than 40 metres, another thing a million dollar forward should be able to do.


and yet strangely  like  his footy cousin Cloke  :rolleyes: has a good action and penetration when in play...its set shots that are rubbish

makes you wonder iin a sense ( perhaps not ) why our post Neeld  recruiting team have targeted some decent forwards who CAN kick

Maybe Hogans future isnt as we think

That miss from 30 in front in the 3rd was simply inexcusable and there were plenty of supporters today that gave him an absolute serve for it.

I am Gob smacked by the number of times the Dogs throw the ball in close and get a free's for wriggle down once the tackle has been applied. disgraceful. 

And thats got to do with Hogan because....?


This critcism is rubbish. 

It seems Jesse went homethis week for personal  family reasons.  In that case he did damn well today.

Judge him at the end of the year not week by week!

Compare his horrid run up today to his debut against Gold Coast last year. 

 

Still had a slight stutter but the big difference for me is he wasn't holding the ball over his left foot like he does now.

He is not a FF.  He is a CHF

Sam Weideman should be our FF

No  Ill bloody well judge him on what hes supposed to be doing kick goals...and in the open hes not that marvelous at it and had no consistency.  Hes really good at involving himself in the game . His subtle pays are gold but his goal kicking  meh . 

All of his "points " were unachievable as goals ....I offer evidence in one JW. He can kick

Feel free to cut and paste 

 

A bit of overreaction going on here. Yes his shots at goal were very poor, but he actually played a decent game of footy otherwise. 10 of his 17 possies were contested, took 9 marks, 5 contsted (team high) and led our score assists with 4.

Remind me how many games he has played again? Give him a spell FFS

The Hogan's hero's segment at one of the breaks is a absolute disgrace.

We were right in the game. There was just crucial umpiring decisions that killed us. Usually I dont lay blame with the umps, this week I lay it all there.

  • 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.
