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

Posted

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

Posted

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.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
