Jesse Hogan and his kicking for goal (merged thread)

Featured Replies

I know that stats aren't every thing but Jessie's stats for his first game back after bruising his knee

9 poss    (4 contested 5 uncontested)

6 marks

2 pressure acts

2 behinds

1 goal assist

5 score involvements

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.

No you don't. 

Do you? 

Haha yeh... just trying to be funny and failing 

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

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
