...hogan squibbed many contests saturday night... call it what you will but his form doesnt justify selection. And his attitude is culture sapping.

Mate, this is absolute rubbish. Not one thing in the above quotes is correct. 

It is very rich for an anonymous internet poster to claim Hogan squib contests 

He is 2nd in the Coleman and his team mates are in awe of him.

Pedo in AA form! Now I've heard it all.

 

Anyone know when/If hogan has started talks on an extension yet? Surely we’d like that locked away before next year

Pedo played his best football when Gawn went down without a doubt. AA form well...... some poetic licence there I am sure....

 

I think people tend to forget the importance of Hogan's presence. Even when he's not playing well he still demands the oppositions best key back or even two. This allows Mcdonald the freedom to lead into other open spaces and gives small forwards the opportunity to be proactive knowing Jess is more likely to try to bring the ball to ground when he has two opponents. I don't mind if Jesse is having an off day not marking or finding the football as long as he makes a strong contest in the air and applies pressure around the ball in forward half thats all you can ask of him when he's not at his best.

I know Jess has been down on form the past two weeks but if fit I think its key to keep improving our forward structures and keep the team playing together with that predictability and trust as well as continuity in our game. I think that's really important at this time of the season.

Yep, Down on form, and probably sore.......but - he draws a key defender each week, can have a run in the midfiield, and I thought his sublime hanging over the top handball to Tracc with 30 seconds to go was pretty handy!!

Why Lie ?

He started on fire against Freo and ended up with 19 disposals, 7 marks and 2 goals.  He had 5 scoring shots and should have kicked more.

The next week against Footscray he had 18 disposals, 9 marks, and 4 goals.  He was very good.

He's been poor the last 2 weeks.  But he's structurally important for the team.  If he's injured or sore he should be rested.

He has not been "very poor for at least a month" as you assert.

What about against Port? He plays well against weaker opposition and struggles and against better opposition, it’s been the case for a while.

Hoges did ok in that last contest against the cows which resulted in the last goal for us.

The better teams are often the ones with better structures and ability to stick a plan. If we could deliver it better into the forward line our forwards wouldnt be standing under it getting smashed by 2, 3 or even 4 defenders (geelong games)

I see Hogan as a better mobile forward than full forward playing deep.

He does not jump at the ball when flatfooted and he is not a great 1 grab mark both of which limit his effectiveness as a target man for long kicks inside 50.

Skill set more suited using his endurance as a mobile high half forward.

So we still need a full forward ?

He wasn't great against Port, but he contributed and he has been pretty good in some other big games.  Against Port if our mids had lowered their eyes going inside 50 Hogan could have had a day out.  He's our top 3 quickest according to AFL tracker and we don't hit him up on the lead enough.  Our mids seem more comfortable kicking long to a contest and so he stays back too much.

I recently responded to a claim in another thread that Hogan was a 'flat-track bully' by pointing out that he had already played well against some of the best. So I did some research. Hogan is on track to kick 50 goals this season. The last 23 y.o. Demon to kick more than 50 in a season was David Neitz in 1996 (56), so it has been 22 years. Before that...

Allan Jakovitch 1991 (59)

Gerard Healy 1982 (77)

Mark Jackson 1981 (76)

Fred Fanning 1943 (62)

Fred Fanning 1944 (87)

Which thread was that? 

For me it’s not just how many goals but who they come against and the times in games when they come. 

I'm pleased to report that they came against other AFL teams and they came in all four quarters of games played... you were saying!

No he’s not but he does comes with a big price tag. These final 4 games plus finals should we make it will tell us a lot.

TMac surely fits that bill, we should get someone else to to ruck. He is our most dangerous fwd by a long way.

Agree with this, that’s why the idea of playing him deep against the Suns in a bid to get some cheap goals and get his confidence up is stupid. No he’s not going to get dropped, but he needs to work through this in the position that he is most dangerous to the opposition and valuable to the team.

I think the Poets Association would revoke a licence for a grandiose leap like that.

When gawn was down last year pedo played 7 games at an average of 18 possessions, 5.5 marks, 18.5 hitouts when he was rucking and kicked over a goal a game.

He also polled 4 brownlow votes in 2017.  

 

and Hogan is 6th, not 2nd.

By that reckoning, he’s due to kick 12 this week. I’ll take that!

Not AA stats mate. Wrong.

And you'll see further I acknowledged Hogan is 6th

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
