    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.

    • 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.
