He needs to settle on one action and stay with it.

Unless he can sort this out he is not worth more than 800k a year.

Eat - left handed (correct ) & mouth of course ( good to hear  :) )

 

On a more sour note I'm thinking that there is a lot more water to go under the bridge with Hogan, and his overall value to MFC, and it is all about joining the dots.

I have no inside information other than just the way things are proceeding. 

 

MFC will not pay overs for Hogan. He is only one player. His upside is huge but his goalkicking yips are a concern. His accuracy is sub 50% once you include out of bounds kicks.

 I think a 4 year deal out to 2021 is sufficient at $700k a year. $2.8million for a 21 year old to digest.

Wow.

And he gets the play a game that we all love on the best sporting arena in the world.

The way he is kicking he would be lucky to get $500k a year as a FF

He would deserve the $700 as a CHF

Arent we all just a happy mixed up lot. I am predominantly right side dominant. However I do eat left handed ( because its the RIGHT way logically !! lol )   I write right handed . I can use most tools either hand. I started my Bball life as a right handed shooter and would do layups still mainly as a right hander but distant shots left handed, foul shooting right handed unless I had the yips , then Id change ...just to change..lol.  I kick righ footed but gradually learnt to kick ( the shorter game ) left foot also.

Im not sure what any  of this means other than Im completely screwed up...hehehe .   What I have found is you can learn things , you can adapt, but there also may be inbuilt limitations per person.

Jesse's run in is as cack handed as any Ive seen and it CANT help him. It reintroduces everytime too many variable before the dropping of the ball and the strike. When he cant think about it it all just flows.  He need REAL mental coaching here.

He was  hired to kick goals. Good goal kickers have a constant rhythmic action. He needs to learn one

Interesting. I am a bit of a basket case as well.

anything single handed I am right (dominant side) so writing, bowling in crickey, kicking etc.

but anything double handed such as batting, hand balling etc I am left.

dancing to the beat of a different drum I like to call it!

Haha, I'm similar although I'm a left footer - I write right-handed and play tennis, bowl right handed but bat in cricket/baseball and play golf left handed.

Playing basketball I shoot left-handed with two hands but shoot right-handed with one hand (like a lay up). Don't know what's going on there I just tell everyone it's because I use both hemispheres of my brain ;)

So that depends on the coaching staff, and where they'll decide to play him.

Jesse was spotted ripping in to some red rooster in Geelong yesterday.

Obviously after a big session at Winkipop.

We can bank the 4 points now.

Nick Reiwoldt-esque the way he covered ground and snagged goals today.

Fair comparison?

Could have been out at boobs or steps

Anyone have the feeling he is a better CHF that FF?  Will the Weid and Hoges swap thier intended roles?  Based off yesterday I think so.

You'd think so.

I think it's clear Hogan's attributes and strengths suggest he is a traditional CHF.

Weideman is a goal square FF.

Watts to play third tall.

Yep. Garlett, Kent, Petracca at the feet and that is hard to match up on.

Weed is listed at around 197 cms and hes still just 18, so hopefully after adding some more strength/muscle he can become a really nice pinch hitter in the ruck.  Would make him a very dangerous player and make the team balance perfect.

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.

    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.
