The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

McQueen
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
