He kicked a goal from just outside the 50. Therefore the kick was at least 55m.

I think he's sorted it out.

He had tight hamstrings a few weeks ago hence the reason he struggled kicking long.

As he was lining up for that kick i said to my uncle that his only downside was he wouldn't be able to make that 50+ distance... Well he proved me wrong (and i was happy about it)

It does not matter that he cant kick goals from 40+ meters, he will take heaps of contested marks close to goal, and he will improves his kicking from 40 +

I was sitting next to my old man at the game and said the exact same thing. Haha

I also think that his kicking penetration drops late in games as he gets tired

He had another shot from around 50m later in the game and it wasn't quite as good

He obviously is still working on his fitness, and with this improving so will his kicking. We often see skills drop in young players as the game and the season wears on.

Been a lot of industry chatter this week after that damning non-effort vision from Cripps last week.

One more blinder from Hogan and it's his.

Might come down to dees v carlton

Viney to Cripps will be the showdown of the century.

And by showdown, I mean Viney burying Cripps' head into the turf for 120 minutes.

Jesse simply has to win the rising star.

Going to finish with 40 goals and number 1 in the comp in contested marks! Cripps should not even be in the conversation

Cripps should be in the conversation, but only to say: “Cripps would win any other year, but Jesse Hogan is a once in a generation forward, so…."

Why not? I havent seen a first year midfielder as good as him for a while, and it's not like he can feed off a Gary Ablett like O Meara did in his first ,Cripps had 35 disposals yesterday... Edited by Henrietta Lumbago

How Cripps slipped so far down the draft I will never know.

Didn't he get taken higher than expected? Everyone was saying too slow.

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
