Can confirm that Jesse is NOT the R8 Rising Star.

Who cares... we know how good he is!

[old dee 23,787]

Rising star is the kiss of death for MFC players

Hogan is very good rising star or not

You have had some good inside word from the club lately..

Keep it up.

Can confirm that Jesse is NOT the R8 Rising Star.

Can confirm that selectors are idiots

Can confirm that selectors are idiots

This always amazes me.

I watched one full game this weekend I have little idea who played well in other games.

One assumes the selectors watched all games.

It is possible someone played better than Hogan.

I watched most games this weekend

Hogan may not have been the absolute standout, but he has been consistently excellent in one of the toughest roles in one of the poorest midfield teams.

How he hasn't earnt a nomination thus far is beyond a joke. He's in better form than some veterans going around.

[Nasher 33,613]

It's a bit of a nonce award, really. Jesse is clearly one of the most promising talents in the game. We know it, everyone in the footy world knows it, but because on any given week someone else plays a slightly better game, he doesn't get nominated.

The way the system works makes me not feel too sad about him missing out. I don't need a RS nomination to know how good he is, and I don't reckon he does either.

He's my rising star. That's all that matters.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

as I said a few weeks ago, (insert absurd hypothetical) if every list was suddenly cleared and all players went up in a mega-draft, our lad would be a chance to go #1 - hard to argue he'd slip past #5 anyway

The irony in Jesse not being nominated yet is that he is going to easily win the entire thing, nothing is surer

It still does not alter the fact he may not have been the best this weekend..

You also have to take into account that he is a forward.

Midfielders always get more votes that deep forwards or backs

Just look at the Brownlow results.

By the way the result is not out yet is it?

and here i was thinking we were keeping a lid on the Hogan Hype.......

PS i love you Jesse, in a man crush kinda way......nah [censored] it in any kind way...

[Deestroy All 14,264]

Alright I'm starting to see it.

[Buffalo 203]

Don't get me wrong, I think Hogan will be our best player since Robbie. But he has one minor weakness....can't kick further than 45-50 meters (accurately that is)!

it does appear hes not a very long kick of the footy. Its about the only thing he cant do

He did kick a good goal from 50m against Sydney. But I agree, it does lack a bit of penetration.

He'll probably dob one from 55m on his left foot next week now we've said it.

[old dee 23,787]

He loaded up twice yesterday and miss kicked both.

He obviously thinks he is a good chance from long distance.

I would not give up on him just yet.

Jesse can roost a ball, don't worry about that!

[Dr. Gonzo 24,207]

When he kicked his 3rd and the lead was out to 33 with 1.5 qtrs left.. i was rubbing my hands thinking here we go.. but alas, not to be.. but that bag of 6 is only a matter of weeks away, no doubt about it

Hopefully only a fortnight away!

[Dr. Gonzo 24,207]

He's my rising star. That's all that matters.

He certainly makes my star rise...wait, what?

[ManDee 7,134]

I noticed that Jay Schultz may be looking for a new home. Is there a Klink in the draft?

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

Rising Star... pfft

I'll take that handball off the pack over any awards and accolades.

[Deestroy All 14,264]

Someone showed me this, taken from Big Footy

Got the radio to listen to the umps mic. Bob Murphy was having a go at Hogan, saying "next big thing".

Hogan: "Where's the bloke you signed?" And pointed at the Dogs bench
