Some are concerned his tackles are going from 1.4 to 1.2 (which is approx. 3 tackles over 13 rounds).  That's the level of debate provided by some.  Ever checked the numbers of nearly all the great key forwards ?

But let's get the facts straight.  In the first 13 games Hogan played last year he made 13 tackles.  In the first 13 games this year he's made 18.  So even the point that was being made is factually incorrect.  He's made 5 more tackles this year from the same amount of games.

Hogan is the best young talent to come the club in 40 years, but naturally enough there are those who would rather concern themselves about his perceived lack of pressure in the forward 50.  Of all the things to dwell on they think a hulking 195cm forward could apply more defensive pressure.

It's about 77 on the list of things you could highlight or be concerned about.  Jeff Garlett being down an average of one tackle per game is of more concern, because that's a strong part of the role of a small forward.

It's unfathomable, this guy is the greatest talent I've seen at the club with the exception of pre-knees Schwarz. Are people just trying to pre-emptively talk themselves down from a ledge in case he does the unthinkable and decides to leave?

And in the post above you question his "work rate".  His work rate is superb.  The ground he covers for a key forward is superb and acknowledged by all paid to analyse the game.

He's constantly providing opportunities for others and I repeat has an exceptional work rate.

Great post - how anyone can question his workrate with the amount of ground he covers is beyond me. Sometimes I wonder whether I'm watching the same games as others.

Hi

Graphic Interface Format.

Avail as static or animated.

There's a wonderful invention Red called Google. It can be your friend :P

He can easily end that.  And only he can

Hahahaha contract should be reduced... that's hilarious.

Jesse Hogan is the wet dream of 17 other coaches, the most talented young forward in the comp by a mile and doing things no other forward in the history of the game has done at his age. 

we will pay him whatever we have to if it means keeping him because he's just that good. 

this is our Wayne Carey 2.0

Invest further, heavily, in this rare investment and get Ox, Neita, or even Dunstall or (God forbid) the Dive Bomber to spend a lot of time with him learning then perfecting how to kick set shots. Any sum would be worth it.  As much time as he needs. Just do it. 

I dgaf about stats, gifs, memes (but the discussion is excellent and I like the gifs) 

I just want his signature! Now! Tomorrow! Get it done!

If we can offer Danger the sort of money we apparently did then surely we can pay Jesse whatever he's asking for. 

I understand the importance of not selling out our future for one player but surely the club has been expecting Jesse to demand a huge contract for a long time and has been planning accordingly to allow us to keep him.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
