Pendlebury said What? about Jesse

Scott Pendlebury has made an extraordinary prediction about young gun Jesse Hogan.

Scott Pendlebury wouldn’t be surprised if Jesse Hogan kicks 100 goals in 2016

Quote

COLLINGWOOD captain Scott Pendlebury says he wouldn’t be surprised if Melbourne young gun Jesse Hogan kicked 100 goals next season.

As one of the league’s brightest young talents, Hogan enjoyed one of the best ever debut seasons by a young tall forward, which had many comparing his stats to those of champion forwards including triple Brisbane premiership player Jonathan Brown, St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt and Geelong premiership star Tom Hawkins.

Hogan’s brilliant season, where he booted 44 goals from 20 games, was capped off by winning the rising star award — the first forward to do so since Riewoldt in 2002.

But Pendlebury expects Hogan, 20, to soar to even greater heights in the future, starting next season after naming him as one of his 10 players to watch in 2016.

From your lips Pendles to Jesse's ears.

 

Wish pendles would come to Melbourne to help him kick 100.

 

I personally don't think Jesse will kick 100 in a H&A season. Any season.

That's a decent Mozz if I ever heard one. Those sorts of things can become a lead weight and expectation. Forget that crap Jessie.

 

 Will any player in the modern game as it is now kick 100 ? Unlikely 

with the afl's agenda to bring back contested marking 1 on 1 contests and lowering the interchange cap maybe 100 is possible again , umpires also blew the whistle more against defenders this season gone and I think this will increase allowing superstar forwards to be just that . 

and last of all insert poaching paranoia below . 

 

If Hogan kicks a ton, we're on our way to September...! 

 


Only a 100 :(

Ah well

He supported the Dee's growing up, did he not?

That he did. Then he pledged his soul to filth.

It adds some validity to his call on Hogan in that he must still want the Dee's to be successful.

We'll need to significantly improve the delivery is he's going to get near 100.

Having Salem on the park will go a long way towards that.

Oh no, hogan is going to leave us and play with the scum.......

 

Argh!!!!!!

He's going to cop 2-3 opponents per game until either Dawes starts taking marks or Weiderman comes on.

To kick a 100 goals a Forward needs to be fed the ball constantly.

We have a midfield who struggle to get the ball enough forward in half our games to even kick 10 goals.I know our Forwards haven't exactly helped by marking or converting when it comes in but he's kidding himself with that prediction.Hopefully he kicks 50 + but if he kicks in the 60 range I think that's a huge effort & id predict between him & Garlett they might kick 100


Is this the start of another Collingwood ploy to recruit Hogan in a couple years time whilst throwing his missus, family, and friends jobs at the 9 network alongside Eddy?

SCUM!

Petracca will attract a fair amount of attention up forward. Hopefully having a few extra goal kickers further up the ground as well now should give Jesse more freedom.

That said, having 2 or more opponents doesn't affect his contested marking ability too greatly as evidenced past season.

Wouldnt be surprised if he kicks 70+ but 100 for the season is a stretch. Whether the abolition of the Sub has any effect on total scoring opportunities remains to be seen.

... and if he gets anywhere near 100, it will indicate that we've significantly improved our delivery to him.

But you're right, that's the only way it's going to happen. He did fantastically well last season to get 44 goals from the crep way we got the ball down to him. We should be able to give him heaps more uncontested marks, so that he doesn't have to just rely on his amazing ability with contested marks.

Our other forwards will take goals off Hogan when we improve. 

As it stands, to kick 100 goals in a season (these days) would be an astonishing performance. 

He might get 80 though ... they'll need to bring the rotations down to about 40 in order to see the dominant "stay at home" forwards again. 

Hogan spent a lot of his time a long way from the goals last year ... such is the nature of the modern game

His creative skills are excellent so he may not always play deep forward anyway. 

I remember another PIE telling us we had the best young list and would be the next "lions".

Hmm that sort of fell apart.

Beware Pies bearing gifts!


It's not about Hogan kicking 100 goals.

From what  have seen at preseason. The young group are so full of confidence and they are the ones who are driving the training quality.

The intensity and game plan they now understand. The change in a few months is unbelievable. There is a real buzz around the boys at the moment.

They all believe they can do anything, and will do what is required to make it happen.

 

Whilst it would be great for a Demon to kick 100 in a season - we are the only club other than the newbies who haven't ever had a centurion goal kicker - I would be happier if he got 70-80 and several others e.g. Garlett, Petracca, Vince got 40-50.

Like WJ, I am trying to keep the lid on:o

 

100 goals would be amazing but I just think it's too much to ask at this stage and the way the game is played these days.  I'd be pumped if he bagged a couple of 10s. That would be enough for me this year.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
