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

I believe that meme is meant to be accompanied by this gif.

We really need a Jesse meme.

Football players aren't known for being very smart.

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.

Almost expecting Jesse and Jeffy to kick a hundred between them.

A KPF kicking 100 in his second season? Not so much.

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.

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, 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.

i'm thinking some figure in the 60's would be achievable and a massive effort

Add a few extra games in September............... 

Well at least we all know who'll win next years Coleman Medal. Best look for a price now, money for jam.

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
