"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.

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?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
