Just out of interest wanted to see how other key forwards who went on to kick a few sausage rolls fared in the first seasons in front of goal:

Buddy - 21.13

N Riewoldt - 21.18 (2nd season)

J Reiwoldt - 7.3 (Didn't kick over 30 until 3rd year)

Plugger - 19.7

Dunstall - 36.27

Fevolution - 26.29

Roughead - 6.5

Pavlich - 14.9

This is mint.

    Nick played a fair bit down back and wing in his 2nd season.

    Jesse has been extraordinarily good this year and nobody is saying otherwise, but he turned 20 before the start of the season. The extra two years in the gym makes this a completely different scenario to Franklin or Roughead coming in and playing at 18. Franklin kicked 73.62 in the year he turned 20 by way of comparison.

    Hogan has benefitted from being on an AFL list for two full years.

    One of which he played an entire season at VFL level as a key forward against men.

    I don't want to take anything away from him. I love him. But you're taking away from others by missing something as significant as this.

    Context.

    I really don't understand the point of comparisons like these.

    Settle down not detracting or refuting any of the above assertions.

    Simply getting round the fact he's having an outstanding year.

    Extra two years in the system or not, the way the game is currently played and the delivery of Melbourne's inside 50's this is super impressive!

    Off field issues delayed Jacko's AFL debut. His talent was well known in WA and SA circles. He was a bit of a nomad playing everywhere before he came to Melbourne.

    32.14 our Jesse ... good return, accurate ... still a few games to go as well

    Comparisons should always provide context.

    Plugger was 17 in his debut season.

    I love the fact that we have someone that has kicked over 30 goals for the season, and we still have a handful of games to go.

    What I love more than the above is that we have 2 players that have kicked over 30 goals.

    Been a while since that's happened.

    Well Franklin had 2 full years of experience at AFL level as an 18 and 19 year old

    Goes both ways

    Yep, in 2011 Jurrah and Green combined for 77.. Garlett and Hulk are on 64 now

    Hogan 32.14. Season incomplete. Pretty impressive

    Even more interesting would be, if findable, how many their team scored in those years, ie what proportion of total team goals they scored.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if one of them really got hold of a game before the season is out

    Im talking a bag of 8 or 9

    Plugger never had to face the dreaded Press though. Hogan wins.

    Must agree 'Chook', Robbo & Rohan are pretty hard to deal with for starters then you have Carro & Hutchy...

    Bottom line for me is that Jesse has exceeded my expectations for the year. A goal every game (so far), taking more than a few games by the scruff, and basically showing every bit of his potential.

    His contested marking stats alone are incredible for a player playing his first year against AFL players.

    I agree Pates. While we all love Hogan's goals, his contested marking and and physicality are the standout features for me. So much more to look forward to with Jesse!!

    Absolutely it would. But should probably not sit on AFL stats websites throughout the day while at work.

    Either way Hogan has been the most interesting "complete" player we have had in a long time. Age/years in the system/structures/inside 50s/score %.....aside, he is in some pretty good company with respect to his first proper year playing AFL.

    Great site for checking records, the season summaries are especially clear - http://afltables.com/afl/afl_index.html

    I wonder if Hogan and Garlett are having any friendly competition about end of season tally?

    Right now they are tied on 32 - the last time we had a tie it was Neitz and Farmer on 30 apiece in 1997.

    I am very comfortable with Hogan/Garlett evoking thoughts of Neitz/Farmer!

    Now, who will be our modernised Robbo?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
