2015 Player Review - # 1 Jesse Hogan

"Hogan was one of Melbournes great stories to emerge this year and stamped himself as one of the most exciting young players in the competition. He finished the season with 44 goals an outstanding effort from a key forward in his debut year. Hogan also won the NAB AFL Rising Star earlier in the week with 49 votes eight ahead of runner-up Patrick Cripps".

    Tie me to the stake and set me on fire but, at the start of the season, I didn't have the same belief in Jesse as many on here did.

    I thought that his kicking action would be found wanting in both distance and accuracy and he seemed to two grab marks which I thought would be a big liability in the top grade. Jesse was also always going to get the oppositions best or second best defender, was shorter than some of the new age forwards (Daniher, Moore, Boyd) and I thought would naturally struggle against mature bodies. Crucially, he was also a year out of the game. I figured a 10-15 goal season would be a good platform for future years.

    He then goes onto kick 44.19, including a couple from on the 50m line. He makes most of the competitions best defenders look a bit second rate and is far more mobile than some of his taller contemporaries. His work further up the ground was a revelation to me as was his field kicking which is probably in the top half dozen in the team. But easily his hugest accomplishment was his contested marking. For a first year player to get 3rd in the entire comp is extraordinary. A number of times this year he ended up with the ball in his hands when he had absolutely no right to. Whilst he has said he wants to create his own brand there were things he was doing, in his first year mind you, that were reminiscent of Carey who I regard as one of the top two players I have seen

    Apparently Jesse is also the 1,313th player to have pulled on the Melbourne guernsey. For some reason I can't explain I consider this to be a very auspicious number and a clear sign of greatness

    Potentially his career tally of goals.

    I'm not overly surprised by his debut year. Anyone that saw him in the flesh at Etihad Stadium against North in February 2013 knew we had a very special player on our hands. He had an aura about him even then. It's just a shame we had to wait longer than expected to see him in the real stuff.

    Will we ever see another 100 goal season from a forward again? Can Jesse do it??

    Hogan won't do it. His best position is CHF where he can use his superior endurance.

    I would have thought he would potentially be capable of 70 - 80 in a very good season, but with Garlett running around adding 40 - 50, does it really matter?

    i think he's quite possibly the best young player i haver ever seen in my thirty years of supporting the mfc.

    the way he controls the forward 50 is extraordinary for a 20 year old first-year player.

    $15m over the next 10 years. make it happen.

    Hogan on future stars on channel 9 in a minute or so

    Did he say anything noteworthy?

    Put your kicking boots on WWS and get a pre season in and you never know!

    it is funny that we have never had a 100 goal full forward in our history, yet fred fanning holds the record for most in a game with 18.

    i was very pleased dunstall never equalled it.

    i really can't see a 100 goal full forward happening again.

    Love that GWS player. He's like "oh damn, better lie here and contemplate my life. A life devoid of Jesse Hogan like talent".

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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?
