    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
