Over the next couple of weeks we're obviously going to hear about how goalkicking is the big flaw in Jesse's game and that he is the next Travis Cloke. In case this notion is put to you by any of your

The difference is Hogan was filthy with himself. Kyrgios' ego tells him it is everybody else that is at fault so he lashes out like a spoil brat.

Jesse's kicking is a concern, but I am more concerned about how few times he leads to space.. Seems to always just point to put the ball on his head.. If he gets more of it and has more set shots, then his kicking will improve.. 2 set shots is not enough, considering that we were a lot better bringing the ball in this week.

I suspect over his career these are the 3 stats that will really matter. Yes he will kick ~40 goals a year but I think he will be played up the ground as a powerful link up forward. His tank is huge of a man of his size.

There was one piece of play where he tried the little tap on to Petracca on the forward flank and it didn't come off. I think he's trying too hard at the moment and is struggling mentally with it. I still have no doubt he'll come good and is still a key player for us now and moving forward. His best is still as a roaming CHF and I'd love to see him get a game with Weideman and Watts all playing together too.

Too be honest I'm more concerned with Garlett's form at the moment, he's been off the boil for a month now. Hogan is still a developing KPP who has managed to kick 40 goals in both seasons. He's going through a drop in form at the moment but I'm not worried about him. There's things he needs to work on (his set shot technique and focusing on the fundamentals) but that doesn't mean he's not earning his spot.

Can't he afford the $50/$100 tables? 

That's why he is waiting on these contract talks, if we secure him he may graduate to the $10 tables along with Tom Boyd, Scully and Ablett

In his favour are his youth, his huge natural ability and his respect for the coaching group at MFC. This should see him improve his set shot action and reap the benefits. Leave it another couple of years and it will become very hard to change.

The reason he probably doesn't lead is that by leading you are running away from goal and will usually lead in a set shot from 40+ out. His not confident kicking these so he tries to get it on his head 25 out.

Last year's stats may comfort us, but the eyes of good judges are worried about Hogan.  He clearly over-thinks his set shot kicking.  Interesting that Dermott puts Jack Watts up as the league's best set shot right now.

 

 

Hogan over-thinks it terribly.  40+ out he goes on Buddy's arc x 3.

 

As a poster I have never ever salivated over Hogan...I don't know why.  His body-language at 3/4 time, pushing away VDB was pathetic.  His goal-kicking action needs stripping back to ground zero.  He is probably 1 year away from having a reliable set shot under pressure 40-50m out, if all goes well.

 

 

Give me Fyfe and a first rounder for this sulker.

I love humour in posts

And a drovers dog would put Jack Watts as the best set shot at the moment, just looking at this numbers

Me I want to see Fyfe come back as the player he was before the injury, before I start salivating, happened too often that they are never the same

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
