    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
