    Worked his backside off all night and finished with 20 disposals 12 marks 5 tackles 4 goals 1 behind - couldn't ask for a more well-rounded game from a CHF. 

    And their was no sulking and he made more 'second efforts'.  Showing growth and maturity as a 'team' player.

    Loved the 'Shirley Bassey' type move where a gentle flick of his hips nudged his op (Dawson?) out of the contest to take an easy mark!

    He needs 22 goals in 7 games to hit 60 for the season.What hes already done is amazing, but to hit 60 would be something else for a 21 year old key forward,  who is already the main man and is sent the oppositions #1 key defender each week. 

    We have a superstar on our hands.

    That bump on Dawson was hilarious. It was like playing on a cardboard cut out.

    What made it so easy though, was that Jesse had worked Dawson so bloody hard he could hardly breathe, so had nothing left to give. Our boy is getting smarter about how to play the game all the time

    LOL, bb

    My high school end of year bash was at the Espy with Shirley Bassey the star performer.  She called for a volunteer to sit on the stool next to her while she sang 'Big Spender'.  One of my class mates obliged. When she did her hip flick, he and the stool went flying.  It was hysterical and to this day gives me a great laugh.

    Dawson went flying last night, just as easily as my inebriated class mate.  Dawson was equally hysterical!!

    Thought I'd bump this thread now that Jesse is committed and we're beginning to see positive articles in the media like this one.

    These comments in particular warmed the cockles of my heart;

    "Being away from family and friends was something I was going to have to sacrifice, but in the end it's worth it," he said.

    "We're building something special at this club and if I was to potentially leave and to miss that and watch these boys achieve whatever they achieve ... it would be pretty hard for me to watch."

    Losers become winners

    Really great signs. I'm generally not one to remind posters who make what i consider to be completely wrong player assessments but geez i'll be tempted to do so to those posters who made comments before he re-signed along the lines of him being over rated, we can cover him, he is too one dimensional (really?), he's good but not great  etc etc.

    I say again the last player to come tor Melbourne with comparable talent and impact was David Schwarz pre knee injuries.  If he can avoid injury i have no doubt whatsoever he will be our first superstar since Flower. 

    And what is exciting is that i don't think the Trac is far behind.

    Poised to have a massive year. I've heard he has done so much work to develop his tank. This will not only allow him to lead for longer, but also improve his set shots being less fatigued.

    I have been watching some of the highlights from this season on utube- one thing I noticed was the affinity between Hoges and Jack Watts. They feed each other and seem to know where the other is going. It's also obvious they are great mates. Lip-smackingly good.

    There was one short comment somewhere that his run up stutter has changed a bit.

    Have you had a chance to watch his set shot routine? Can you or anyone else comment on the efficiency of any change?

    I loved watching that last year. It happened in the first game of the year against GC where Watts brought Hogan into the game in the last quarter and they both got us the win.

    Watts is as good as kick to a leading forward as there is in a game. I rewatched the final 10 minutes vs Hawthorn last week, Watts' kicking to a leading forward is near on perfect. Low, fast and cuts the angles beautifully. He also allows the forward to come meet the ball which a lot of AFL players haven't mastered and makes it much harder for defenders to intercept the ball.

    Hogan can also drag a defender out of the space when they both find themselves deep to allow Watts a mismatch as he often finds himself on smaller opponents for minutes at a time. Great dynamic between the 2.

    Beep test/shuttle run

    =9 14-2 Jesse Hogan WA

    3km time trial result (mins:secs)

    =10 10:20 Jesse Hogan WA

     

    He was damn good before being drafted. Running was seen as one of his great strengths. It it has improved by any stretch, he will harder to match up on than Riewoldt.

    Bump!

    For the reason, that watching Roughy tonight, reminds me of Jesse as a player. Not a dominant lead up forward but certainly has that capability, mobile and cat like at marking contest, can roam long and wide up the ground and can definitely go through the gutz when needed.

    Looking forward to Hoges hitting the scoreboard again this weekend.

    Nice comparison, reads the ball as well in the air as Rough, that's for sure, if he has four premierships by the time he's 28 I'll be a super happy little Demon

    The chase and tackle his highlight of the night, last week he didn't look like even thinking about laying a tackle.

    He still can't kick for goal further than about 35 metres out which a big concern. His kicking action just has no power to it.

    If we give him some consistent  service he coul give 100 goals a crack. But Goody wont like that

    20 goals in 4 career games vs the Lions.  Thats good for 5 goals per game.

    Melbourne 4-0 in those games.

    Damn it feels good to have a superstar key forward again.  Will kick 60+ goals this season, injury permitting.  He has serious competition for an AA guernsey but he can get there.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
