Pendlebury said What? about Jesse

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.

The only 'traditional club" that has not.

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

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

 

IF Hogan kicks a ton, well win the flag!!

 


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.

talking of coleman medals

has anyone won the coleman medal where someone kicked more goals for the season?

i'm talking about where someone kicked enough goals in the finals to surpass the coleman medallist's tally at end of home and away

  • 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 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?
