I'd be stoked if between Hogan, Garlett and Dawes we get 100 goals, i see no reason Hogan and Garlett couldn't both get 50 and Dawes 25-30 if he can stay fit

    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.

    Hoges doesn't worry about mozzes. The pressure on the kid just last season was immense. He responded by winning the Rising Star.

    Don't mind the Hogan hype, reckon it will create a lot of opportunities for our other forwards as opposition teams get too Hogan-centric... plus put intense pressure on any defender who finds themselves one out with Jesse... as our mids pump it long. :)

    Dawes will be lucky to get a game.

    Harmes is already above  Dawes.

    Dawes is finito.

    Doesn't matter what Jesse does.  100 for him would be really great, but not if its the main focus of the club or its supporters.

    What matters is what the TEAM does.  As others have alluded to, if we get 3-5 forwards / goal scorers / forward-playing mids including Jesse totalling 150-180 between them, that's a much better result in my book.

    Jesse is a cog, a big one, but still just a cog in the wheel. (No offence Jesse if you see me on the street some time!)

    Seriously though, it's a silly thought this 100 goals business. There's absolutely no guarantee that he's even going to play full forward - he has such a fantastic tank that it's hard not seeing him player further afield in some games. And while he's obviously going to be an important cog in our forward line set up, I think it's more important that he be part of a line up that strives to score 100 points a game on average and to keep opposing sides down to about 85. That would be a very good outcome for us IMO.

    About time someone knocked Fred Fanning off his 18 goal game pedestal. May as well be Jesse

    Allen Jakovich almost did it if I remember correctly.

    And can anyone remind me if the Melbourne Football Club has ever had a 100 goal in a season full forward, I don't think it has.

    I couldn't care less if Hogan never kicked the ton in a season. I want to see a tough and multi pronged forward line with Hogan, Petracca, Kent, Garlett and Weiderman causing trouble to every other AFL side.

    ps: Buddy Franklin was the last AFL player to kick the ton in a season I believe.

    Pretty sure Jako kicked over 100 in a season, it's just that it wasn't all in the seniors.  Kicked 50-odd in the reserves, then got 50-odd in the seniors in the same year.

    From memory, Dunstall kicked 17 in a game.  Might be wrong, but think it was the closest haul to Fanning's record.

    You are probably correct.

    Jako was IMHO more of a freak player than Hogan but, I'd have Hogan any day of the week.

    i don't think Jako had the desire/passion to last too long at a club (apparently very lazy).

    Still at around 187cm he was a freaky full forward.

    This may be controversial but for everything you have outlined above, I always rated Dunstall above Lockett. Dunstall was the most selfless full forward I have watched. Not only did he kick goals but he also brought others into the game and Hawthorn didn't solely rely on him as their only avenue to goal. I always felt that if you held Lockett you held StKilda. 

    I would rather Jesse kick 60 and Weideman kick 50 and Gartlett and Petracca kick 40 ( I would actually prefer Jesse kick 100 and Weideman kick 50 and Gartlett and Petracca kick 40 but I am greedy)

    That wins us the flag I can cope with that nutbean

    my wish is that:

    he stays injury free

    he is allowed to develop and contribute to team performance, but not be relied upon each week

    that he commits to the club long-term

    Just watching the YouTube highlights of his 44 goals and it made me realize that it wouldn't be a massive surprise or step up for him to double his output.

    That puts him at 88 goals.

    its not that many short of 100.

    • 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.

      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?
