I also like the way he doesnt overly celebrate his goals and run around like an idiot, jumper over his head type stuff......just a few low 5s and back pats and gets right on with it.....cool Jesse.

    It's amazing that in his biggest haul game I felt he could've done better! Opposition defenders are already starting to realise how good he is and they're trying to stop his run at it and blocking him at contests. I hope the umpires are reviewing this as it's happening a lot in games.

    But jeez we've gone a gem here. 22 goals in 11 games in his first playing year.

    Wonder if Jono Brown and Hogan could get together for a chat and a few training sessions.

    Love Brown but much rather Wayne Carey.

    Jono brown and jesse are already in contact and have had conversations similar to petracca and gray,

    Would assume that the lack of kicking penetration is due to his lower back. As he gets stronger through his core and bulks up around it over the next couple of years it will improve dramatically.

    Ive noticed he nearly always gets a goal early, often in the first few minutes....when the ball comes in hard and fast, perhaps they get caught off guard a bit early on...

    Hogans only flaw is his kicking distance, which is something that can improve with time and strength, but at the end of the day I am not worried about him taking shots from 50 as he is incredibly reliable from inside 40m.

    He has a presence and that is something rare from a 20 year old, I loved seeing him crash the pack in the last quarter and as he was jogging down the field keep looking back to make sure the St Kilda player was slow to get up.

    Taylor isn't overrated at all, he's a gun.

    He is. He cheats too much.

    He's been very lucky over his journey.

    Anyway, he's not a stopper.

    Lonergan will take Hogan.

    It's his competitiveness.

    He's all about going again and getting the win.

    he's also got quite skinny legs for such a big guy

    i also reckon he is a little bow-legged which might explain his slightly odd running gait

    a bit of weights work on his legs could make a big difference

    body wise still a work in progress

    Apologies if already mentioned elsewhere, but this reminded me of a couple of other things I saw at the game...

    1. St Kilda defender spoils over the sideline and gives Jesse a little shove as he is running off. Jesse stopped dead, and gives the guy a "please tell me you did not just touch me?!" death stare!

    2. Jesse crashes a pack after which a St Kilda guy stayed down hurt. As he is lying prone on the ground, the Hulkster runs over and gives him a good shove in the back, just to let him know about it!

    Love him!

    Hogan was again in the votes in the AFLCA player awards for round 11.


    It's the third time in his first 10 games that both coaches have awarded him votes. Has any other player done this in their first 10 games ?

    Cheats how? Taylor isn't always third man up, he has shut down a lot of key forwards. He can also go forward but what I like about him most is his ability to read the play and back himself to mark the ball which he does quite often rather than punch which can leave the ball in despute. We must be watching different games. Also reasonable disposal and a good decision maker.

    Harry Taylor

    2 x premiership player

    2 x AA

    Terrorised opposition forward lines for 170 games

    Was chased hard by other clubs when last out of contract.

    Has kicked 40 goals

    I'd say he's very lucky....you idiot.

    Jeez mate did he bang your missus?

    I rate Taylor as one of the gun backman of the game. Hks ability to not only stop his opponent but also go forward and kick goals.

    One of the weirdest post i have seen..

    Keep it going Hogan...!! Lazy 5 goals mate.

    It was good to see him get a couple of goals from guys hitting him on the chest...he didn't have to work as hard as other weeks.

    On AFL 360 tonight Gerard and Slobbo asked each other "if you had the chance to pick any marquee player to build a team around who would it be?"

    Slobbo went with Fyfe.

    Gerard went with the Hulk.

    Jesse will be one of the highest paid youngsters on his next contract and I hope it's the MFC paying it. If we're still serving up paltry efforts in two years time I'd be very concerned.

    Great to focus on the positives like Hogan instead of the damn 40sec which the media have done to death!

    One can only imagine players like Brayshaw, Viney, petracca, Salem,Tyson, toumpas kicking the ball to Hogan!

    the media? What about Demonland? Maybe 500 posts each commenting with their original thoughts that they reckon we should have had players behind the ball, and that our leaders are bad and we suck etc

    Meanwhile the biggest asset in the competition put on his first genuine display, Watts with one of his best games ever and a player we have been waiting 2.5 years for in the Toump finally arrived

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
