This kid has all the attributes to be a jet. Drafted pick 53 in 2011 by the Hawks but didn't manage a full year of football until last year.

Absolutely terrible luck with injury... two knee recos (I know)... but his upside seems to be huge.

Limited opportunities at Hawthorn (only 2 games) but won the Liston trophy in the VFL last year and just won the Gibbs-Lines medal for best on ground in the Box-Hill vs Coburg game.

His stats:

36 possession (23 contested)

Seven inside 50s

Eight Clearances

A risk with injuries but this guy looks like he has a bright future ahead of him if he can stay on the park. Tough as nails and polished... I would love for the dees to make a play in the off-season.

What do you guys reckon?

(also it's my first post... hello demonland!)

    I was talking to a guy at work who is a Hawks supporter and he rates him very highly.

    They view him as a replacement for Mitchell.

    Got me... I just wanna play with Jesse Hogan so badly.

  • Quote

    probably the biggest thing going against him is that he's quite small and is not overly quick.

    he's a contested ball winning beast tho. ultimately he'd be in competition with the likes of jones, tyson, viney, newton, michie, riley for an 'inside' role.

    in terms of fringe hawthorn players, i'd rather look at james sicily, who has great pace.

    So do a lot of posters on here after Friday night...

    A replacement for Sam Mitchell and the kid has only played two games? I knew Hawthorn supporters liked the crack pipe but jeez...

    If he is on the Dorks list I am sure he is a gun. Won a Liston medal I think. He seems to have the attributes required. In any normal circumstance he would leave the Dorks for better opportunities elsewhere but it rarely happens to them. They are all playing for peanuts over there it seems but are happy to stick around even if they can't get a game.

    Yes, but I think 93dee is saying he would like to play football with Jesse.

    Nothing says AFL star of the future like winning the Gibbs-Lines medal.

    But in reality:

    Established members of our inside midfield brigade - Jones, Tyson and Viney

    Flexible options - Vince (could be moved to wing/half back/half forward in the future), Salem

    Likely future members - vandenBerg, Bayshaw and Petracca

    Possibles - Neal-Bullen, Harmes

    Still sorting - Newton, Michie, Riley, McKenzie

    Woodward would (excuse the tongue twister) be a strong addition to the list as at minimum a good depth player, but in terms of inside mids I think we should work with what we have.

    I presume Hawthorn or another club would still have interest in his services and therefore we'd have to pay up either a draft pick or salary for him if not both.

    I'd rather use resources on talls (rucks or either end) and some more outside run and skill.

    Bloke is a jet! I was hoping we'd draft him but we took Tynan 1 pick before.

    He's a ball magnet, hard as a cats head and has decent skills. There's too many similar types at Hawthorn and would be a walk up start with us IMO.

    Two knee reco's is admittedly a worry

  • Quote

    Serious..

    Won a Liston while the cats were going well.

    Where is he now?

    Woodward has won a Liston while the Hawks are going well.

    Where is he headed?

    It's not that fu****g hard.

  • Quote

    At this stage we should be looking for a good mobile ruckman and a couple of quick mid/hb types with good disposal.

    I don't think Woodward is either.

    Never worked out how to post links but on the AFL they have a story about the international draft combine. Standing at 201cm Jalen Carethers has almost broken the 20 metre sprint at 2.79 seconds. Looks quite athletic and ready to play. A year at Casy.....

    A super fast ruck with Frost running around as well would scare a few teams I would reckon 'Al'. If he could play or learn the caper like Mike Pike it might he might be interesting to look at.

    So does Frosty....but he doesn't want to play football with him..

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
