The Incredible Hulk - Jesse Hogan

Generally a really smart and good field kick for a KP player, is Jesse. Which is a handy attribute for a CHF to have.

As soon as the Weed is ready, I'm sure we'll see the move made.

    The most complete game I have seen him play. Played well to his opponents weaknesses.

    A well deserved rap for Hogan http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/jesse-hogan-on-track-to-better-2015-output-after-another-starring-display-for-melbourne/news-story/861c3e28baf69de23a86bf700107eb86

    "In 2016, he ranks inside the top six in the entire competition for marks, contested marks, marks inside 50 and goals. They’re statistical indicators for the quintessential key forward, let alone for one that has proved he can also roam higher up the field".

    Also 9 games in he has 23 goals; 50% of his 2015 total of 44.  Will easily beat that and on track for a 60 to 70 goal season.  Good enough to win the Coleman in past years.

    He has silenced his critics!  Big time!

    He had 24 goals after 10 games last season. Keep in mind he only played the 20 games in 2015. He is doing a little bit more so far this season, but his goal kicking is stopping him from showing huge improvement. It would be a great result if he could get 60 goals. From memory I think he would have been 1st or 2nd in the league for contested marks at this point of the season in 2015.

    His body language going for marks this season has stepped up in confidence and intensity..

    And to think some on here wanted him dropped this week.....

    His run up for goal was better.  Lesser stutters and no arc to the right.

    Hogan at CHF and Weideman at FF with Watts as a smart third tall who can kick goals too... that's a scary proposition for opposition defences. Especially, when we'll have the likes of Viney, Oliver, Petracca, Tyson etc winning the ball out of the middle more times than not.

    Our list balance is almost becoming a little Hawthornesque. We're building a really strong midfield with depth, a powerful forwardline, but a weaker backline. Hawthorn's structures, team work at the back and good ball users is what enabled them to be so dominant. We don't have that yet, but that's the direction we're going in. Of course, down the track we'll look to add KPDs to our list just as Hawthorn did with Gibson (despite playing undersized), Lake and now Frawley.

    Let's keep adding to the midfield, sign a KPD in FA or Hurley :P and continue developing our young KPFs in Weideman and Hulett to support Jesse.

    I love that we're still flying under the radar and rightfully so, we're still horribly inconsistent, but if we can sign Hogan long term this year, heads might start to turn our way.

    He's been carrying a right calf. Looked like he was over it on Sunday. 

    Then my sphincter nearly exploded when he landed on his back.

    They should sit Hogan down and watch On the Couch's analysis of the Freo list and where it may be in two years time. It is fairly unimpressive. Can't see them enticing too many players their way 

    (Im ignoring the fact that Gerard said Cam McCarthy was a potential A grader and thus devaluing their argument)

    Need a Gibson and a Hodge for the backline - Hurley would be that guy.... dreams... 

    Could Melksham become a Hodge, I doubt it -  But Trengove could! Trengove marshalling the back 6 in Hodge style quarterback role. Yep that'll work. 

    Still need a Hurley though. Might get one might not. The big frame of Hulett -any Casey watchers think he could be a CHB type instead of a raw KPF?

    I think what Hawthorn did though was bring in the Gibson's and the Lake's once they'd built a bit of momentum in the competition. Let's see who we can attract at the end of 2016 and at the end of 2017. I think you'll find (if we continue our upward trajectory as a club) that we'll be able to entice some A graders for the first time in years. And these won't be A graders on the back of merely money. These will be A graders that want to jump on board, because they see what we're building. Make finals or go close this year and follow it up again next year with a finals campaign and this will be a reality.

    I keep saying it, but we are building a scary midfield. Midfields win premierships.

    A forward line of:

    HF: Watts Hogan Petracca

    F: Garlett Weideman Kent

    Looks ridiculously good considering their average age is 21.

    Get them all coming through at the same time. It's the Geelong model.

    He's been better this year than people give him credit for, especially since being allowed to roam up the ground and use his strengths instead of plonking him in the goalsquare and trying to turn him into Plugger 2.0

    ...... or alternately, the GWS model without having it gifted to us by the AFL

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
