Yep this thread is everything I'm still excited about. He was my one reason for going this week. If he wasn't there my motivation would be shot! Loved his second half, felt ted Richards gave him a lesson in the first half (it was almost like we were trying to kick it to ted not hogan.. Always to teds advantage). But hogans marks and goals made me happy (especially that one handed one :)!

Also it seemed that not once did we kick it out from a point to him even when open.. Seemed a little weird considering that he is the best contested mark in the league at this stage.. My guess is they either don't see him, lack confidence or purposely ignore him as they want him to be the next link in the chain?

Bring on the Hawks next week :)!!

    That Hogan one-hander got me out of my chair. Sensational grab. He also did some great work with hands, very fast to pick up at ground level and move it to a target.

    There weren't many highlights but this young man gives us hope.

    His 2nd goal was an interesting kick, it traveled 55 metres and was a low bullet kick. It was a rocket. He doesn't seem to get much height in his set shots.

    The one handed contested mark was epic.

    He looked on in the first 10 minutes, unfortunately the ball didn't get down his end for the next half an hour.

    He will rip a game apart at some point this year and I want to be there when it happens.

    He also doesn't try to kick the cover off it, which is nice to see.

    Thought he was going to have his first bad game, but then he got involved on the wing and monstered forward. I'm confident he will kick 5 in the next few weeks.

    TBH, even when he has been quiet I never think he is playing bad or out of the game.

    Like Carey, you know at some point he will impose himself upon the game.

    Real good player to be who needs serious support before the end of this year.

    He already knows how to use his body brilliantly. A number of other players could take lessons from him.

    Will he get "a lot" stronger? He's already over 100kg's and in his third season on the list - I would guess that improvement from hereon in would be incremental. He is already stronger than most of his opponents now as it is.

    Injuries are always a possibility for every player but sometimes you need to take a gamble and if that means a 10 year contract so be it get it done

    Generational player and club changer if the gamble pays off

    Strength doesn't mean weight gain though mate, i was a hell of a lot stronger at 85kg's as a chippy then i have been at 100kg's as a PM. Its scary to think how strong and forceful he'll be, he'll soon be taking 2 defenders and your likes of Garlett, Kent and JKH will have a field day crumbing.

    I know that size doesn't necessarily equal strength, though I don't think Jesse's got his weight by moving from his physically active job to a desk job like you have ;)

    I hope you're right though, and you would think that at his age he wouldn't have finished developing by any stretch. If he continues to get stronger he'll be very difficult to stop, if he's not already.

    Nasher is trying to say you can't improve on perfection. I put it to him that Jesse doesn't abide by our laws of nature and physics.

    he doesnt need to gain any strength, hes already stronger than any other player and hes only 20.

    Having said that, he will get stronger. Scary really.

    Was just thinking that & mentioned it while talking to a hawks supporter mate. And how good would it be if we played on and attacked rather than holding up the play (really missing kents speed here i believe). When we actually tried to do it against sydney hogan had 3 shots on goal as a result in the second half.. Lets attack dees :).

    This is how it will go:

    Salem to ___, handball to salem who kicks to ___, handball to salem who lace out hits Hogan who out muscles Frawley. Repeat * 27 times. Sounds pretty accurate.

    Completely agree, mate. He's one you can build a dynasty around. With the way the salary cap is inflating each year, a mill a season for ten years probably wouldn't be a massive dint in the cap. You could also front load some of that now to ensure we can keep others down the track.

    How good will Hogan be when he has a team that will deliver it to him....

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
