Things I like about Hogan


Curry & Beer

Recommended Posts

1. He racks up goals without even seeming to need to do anything special to get them, which suggests he will have a long career of racking up plenty

2. He pretty much never loses a 1-on-1, just brings it to ground at worst

3. He missed a year with injury then just waltzed in and started performing like it ain't no thang

The remainder of this post has been contributed to by Demonland's finest

4. Hes the only key forward to rag doll Alex Rance this year
5. Hes got mongrel and is built like a brick [censored] house
6. He has the arrogance that all the greats of the game possess
7. The way he swoops his fringe to the side.
8. When he points to the spot he marked the ball and makes the man on the mark walk back to it.
9. He plays for Melbourne Demons.
10. That we don't have to wait for him to bulk up
11. He is stubborn in his approach to goal
12. The ball only has to be kicked NEAR him for him to make an impact
13. Slick hair, not your skinhead "I'll punch you if you look at me" thug, thus broadening his appeal
14. Hasn't gone goalless yet
15. Works well with Garlett
16. Not afraid to bark at others, has a sense of authority and maturity.
17. Shows no sign of back pain
18. One of few players to deservedly wear number 1
19. Wears a baggy jumper
20. ACTUALLY LIVES UP TO EXPECTATIONS
21. Deceptively athletic
22. Hasn't gone back to Casey yet.
23. Hasn't gone back to Perth yet.
24. I like that after seven years of watching Melbourne teams being bullied here is a bloke who won't take a backward step in a red and blue jumper. He combines this with a once in a generation talent
25. Contested marking
26. Brilliant decision maker
27. Fantastic handballer, which goes unnoticed
28. Has shown he can slot goals on both his left and right feet on the run with rare class for a power forward
Pace
29. Will get nastier
30. He's a winner.
31. I love the way he has little wrestles with his opponents.
32. He ain't nobodies [censored].
33. He'll become the league's no. 1 forward.
34. His strut

I am trying to work out where Jack Watts fits in?

His hair is pretty marvellous.

I love the way he has little wrestles with his opponents.

Let's chip in $2 each to support him

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
