David King was just on SEN talking about the best set shots at goal this year (minimum 20). Hogan is the fourth most accurate at 68%. In comparison Jack Riewoldt at 52%.

Posters have commented on his stagnated run up. If he keeps nailing them, he could kick on his head for all I care.

He's kicked a few from the boundary but I think part of the reason he is so accurate is because he doesn't lead to the pocket too much so a lot of shots on goal are from not too difficult angles which is crucial.

He's obviously done a lot of work to correct his action. When he first arrived at the club his run up for a set shot looked like me walking home from the local pub after 20 beers.

Yep, and this was a big part of last week's win and our accurate 18.5 scoreline - our inside50's were deep and central, which meant most of our set shots were relatively easy.

Except for Garlett, where the more difficult the kick the more accurate he is!

That's funny given Hogan didn't play... :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's it. I cannot stand it when big forwards lead to a pocket in lieu of the Most Dangerous Spot on the ground.

"There's people there!" they cry. Yeah, there are. There is a reason why they're there...

He's been deadly accurate.

Whilst this isn't a knock on him, the only thing I can say I've seen that he doesn't possess is distance in his set shot kicking.

He doesn't seem to have a huge amount of penetration from 45 + when kicking for goal.

As for everything else. He's almost perfect.

Yep I am happy to accept Jesse as he is. There is no perfect model and everyone has their individual differences. What works for one does not work for another. Jesse has definitely worked on his kicking yet it still has some kinks but it seems to work. Peter Hudson had an unconventional action but was deadly accurate.

He doesn't try to overkick them. That's his secret. That last goal against Richmond in the pocket was a perfect example. Not an easy angle, but made it look easy.

Would love to see Jesse dish out a super game by out-marking Hurley and kicking a bag.

6 goals today??

I predicted he'd kick 8. Going to downgrade that due to poor weather. It's going to bucket down and make for a messy game of poor skills and low scores. He'll kick 7.

Probably not the weather conditions for a big forward to kick a bag

But it is Jesse Hogan so anythings possible

If he can monster one of the best CHB in the game in Alex Rance in the wet then surely he can do the same to Hurley??

I can't remember who it was but one of the commentators on tele did a mid-year AA team and it had Hurley in it. Might've been Alistair Lynch..

Personally I think Hurley is overrated and has escaped criticism over the years.

Jonathon Brown was pumping up Hogan again saying that the only player to give Rance a hiding was Jesse :wub:

Something tells me Browny likes him.. Feel free to come down and work with him Browndog!

I put $5 @ $16 for Dawes to kick our first today!

I'd be wanting those odds for him to kick one for the game.

I'm sure I recall hearing Jon Brown had been in touch with Jesse and offered his help whenever it is needed.

He would want to get a few goals sooner or later mate or it might be back to Casey for him!

Roos will not send him to Casey.

Not if the bad weather is as predicted. 6 goals in that case would be remarkable.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
