This guy is unbelievable.... going to be a top 3 key forward of the AFL in the coming years for sure. Top 1 wouldn't suprise me! He seems to win every one on one contest with ease. Have we finally found a superstar?

Just watching the WA after footy program with the usual muppets which includes Adrian Barrett (such a girls name) talk about Hogan. Asked if someone like Lachie Neal would be sufficient compensation to get Hogan back to Freo, they said no - no chance.

I'm sorry but neal............HA. There is no-one on Freo's list that would be deemed as sufficient compensation. But that's not having a go at Freo or their list, because i believe that no player from any team's list would be deemed as sufficient compensation.

Not even a fully fit Gary Ablett would be enough to tempt me................far from it.

To trade for Hogan the minimum I would want is 2 top 5 picks or a very good player, If we are talking about Freo it's Fyfe. I have an unusual feeling as a Melbourne supporter but I think Jesse is going to stay with us!

Would anyone here trade Hogan for Fyfe?

Put 50 on the dees at 4$ hulk hogan is a gun and will be for a long time, he has some special traits to him, I put Brayshaw in the same bracket as him.

Hogan & Brayshaw our future

Totally and absolutely disagree ...

... because from tonight's performance you've got to include VandenBerg, Salem, Michie & Newton as our future too. And Kent and Viney. And we haven't even seen Petracca yet.

I wouldn't trade Hogan for anyone, he is the guy we've been missing since Neitz left.

Yes I would. But I still love him!

He's different to Neita, and one of the differences is excitement level.

How many members, people through the turnstiles, is this guy going to bring? Who's going to go next week now?

Hogan is not that big, Matthew Richardson was towering over him during an on field interview, the commentators mentioned it as well, 195cm is way overstated.

Hit the post on half-time siren.

Heart's not in it. Confirmed going to Freo.

But he plays much taller, takes marks at full stretch, he has the complete package. Attacks the ball like Jonathon Brown and strut, has the agility of Nick Riewoldt,

Richo is 198cm so of course he looks like he has that bit of extra height..

Thanks Neeldy. You did something right.

I for one would be absolutely devastated if Hogan is around in 10 years at our club. Freo WC stay away.

The good thing is the media are finally talking about an exciting player from our club.

Hogan was hardly modelling good posture during that interview.

Was slouching and swaying all over the place.

Richo, like all former player/commentators was standing bolt-upright and sucking it in.

That has a lot to do with wide lens distortion and camera angles. Those interviews always position the camera closer and to the right of the interviewer. They use a wide angle lens which makes the closer subject look far bigger than the one slightly further away. If the camera was positioned in front of Hogan's left side the percepted size diferential will be reversed making Hogan look bigger.

I don't think any of us actually thought he would come in and be this good, my phone has been going crazy from mates all talking about Hogan.

have a look at bigfooty. They're all going crazy over him (except Western Bulldogs supporters...cause they have Tom Boyd, who will be better apparently).\

Also, no clubs supporters hate us more than Western Bulldogs. Why is that?

Seeing that Garlett goal makes me think we could almost implement a Hogans paddock. The way he booted it forward and gave Garlett a free run at goal

Hogan's aura was lifting Richo off the ground by a good 6 inches... Just like he does for my aura.

Hogan at one end, McDonald at the other. Fingers crossed the bookends are sorted for the next 8 years. Both could be in the best few key forwards/defenders in the comp. So happy to know they will continue to be developed properly with Roos, Goodwin, McCartney.

Bruce's "Hogan launches himself and takes a beauuuuuty" was just perfect.

He is 195, I met him last season and he was much taller than my 186 (9cm taller in fact).

Richo is 197 but he looks taller because he wears high heels.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
