How many will Hogan get on Saturday?

[demoniac 1,243]

18 but unlike Fred he will also record some goal assists!

[Dr. Gonzo 22,415]

When was the last time a Demon kicked double figures? Gazza vs the Dogs in the 94 finals? Farmer and Neitz scored 9 each (vs Pies and Tiges respectively) can't remember anyone kicking 10.

Followed the Dees since 1971 and can only recall someone kicking double figures twice, Jakovich and Lyon. Explains why I find this thread absurd.

I've been following the Dees since 1897 and wow, what a day out Fred Fanning had.  I was there.  He should have kicked 25.  I've seen plenty get in double figures, Hogan will do the same tomorrow and bring back memories of Arthur Cox kicking 12 for us in the 1903 semi final.

Yes I remember it well. The umpires crucified us that day and I thought the downpour in the 3rd quarter would ruin the day. 1d halfpenny for a decent serve of chips. Those were the days !!!!!!!!!!

[Adzman 2,085]

Hogan will draw a double team most of the day making me think it will be a good day for crumbers. I think Jeffy has a ripper and kicks 4.

Not sure about hogan. 2-5 sounds realistic.

Wow, great memory for a 118 year old! ☠

I'm a man of many talents.

[Akum 2,660]

As much help from the umpires as Fasolo tonight and he'll get a dozen.

So two.

[Jaded No More 57,827]

He will not kick a bag. They will put every ounce of their energy into smashing him and triple teaming him, and given his previous display of attitude when things aren't going his way, I would say he won't kick more than 3. 

Watts usually plays well against Essendon and given his current form I bet he will kick more goals than Hogan.

[Little Goffy 12,568]

Anyone's guess, really. Essendon might decide to try to double/triple defend against him, in which case he might just kick three. (I've decided that for 2016 his default is 3/game, like it was 2/game in 2015).

A figure I'm more interested in will be the clearances difference. We romp all over them when it comes to genuine inside, solid bodied midfielders, and this figure should just climb and climb as the game goes on and the bruises accumulate on their admirable but lightly built second gamer, their old and underdone tagger, and their misplaced and confused flankers who have had 8 weeks notice that they are starting in the centre square!

It would be a sweet sweet sight to see a string of decisive centre clearances cut through inside 50, goal, back to the centre, repeat.

If this game turns into a true blowout, that'll be how.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

All the attention will go to Hogan so Garlett will kick about 4.7

My son spoke to Gus yesterday and he's as nervous as all of us.

He did say....'if we stick to our structures, we'll get the job done, but it's a tricky game...'

Apparently, a really nice guy.

[Gator 16,892]

Notwithstanding Bob's excellent summation, I'm going to use more of a mathematical equation.  We averaged 44.5 inside 50's last year, but have shown a vast improvement in this area over summer and round 1.  On the back of 56 entries last week I'm expecting 60+ this afternoon.  Jesse averaged a tick over 3 shots at goal last year from 44.5 i50's, so I'm expecting between 5 and 6 shots at goal tomorrow. 

After implementing all relevant data I can tell you that he will kick 4 or 5 goals depending on accuracy.  This all assumes that there aren't any special circumstances that contribute to an abnormal result. 

Jesse will kick either 4.2 or 5.1.

Thank you Sheldon!

[Binmans PA 26,053]

Well, isn't this thread a disgrace?

[Deestroy All 14,261]

More like how much will his contract offer drop. 

Seriously what is going on with him? Looks completely lazy. Didn't even half jog to put pressure on his man waltzing away at times. 

[DeeSpencer 23,129]

No wonder we lost. 

Our fans are as ahead of themselves as our players. Good job guys. 

Hogan got towelled by Gwilt and top ups. 

And the MFC isn't doing him any favours. Bulking him up when he came back out of shape. Playing him deep forward when he's always been a natural CHF. 

Incompetent coaches creating a lazy footballer out of a kid who worked his backside off last year.

[Kumamoto_Ken 1,531]

On a day full of [censored] disappointing moments, one of the worst for me was just after Jones had the shot at goal in the last and Hogan gave the free away. It would have been a point anyway, but instead of standing the mark Hogan threw the arms out and started gesticulating to where (I assume) he thought Jones should have kicked it to his advantage.

The guy didn't run off him while he was having a whinge at the skipper, but it was just a terrible look while the game was still well and truly in the balance. 

[DeeZee 6,732]

And all of a sudden Melbourne isn't a fun place to be.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Some home truths have to be dished out to young Jesse.

I'm not inside the club, and this probably isn't the case, but you get the impression from the media we are walking on egg shells around him trying to keep him happy. He needs a big rocket.

[dazzledavey36 48,746]

Wouldn't hurt to lead once in a blue moon Hoges...

[Moneider96 1,045]

Hogan is overrated. There, I said it.

Yes he is. but still good. hes being played out of position and his attitude absolutely stinks. Should be at CHF taking one on one contested marks on the lead and out in space. his field kicking is exceptional and could be hitting up leads inside 50.

Perhaps a spell at casey to straighten his attitude out. as ive said elsewhere, i believe he will move on next year and if he doesnt have any personal success this year it just makes it more likely.  It will be a "needs a fresh start" kind of thing.  personally i'm not as bothered as some by that thought. time and time again we all get shown that AFL footy doesn't reward teams with an individual gun as much as teams with an even spread of talent. 

im sure the club isn't tip toeing around him out of fear he will leave. his attitude needs to change big time. daniher made him look 2nd rate today. he is on the path to becoming another sook who couldve been more. lets hope the club can turn him around so at least we get some good currency next year
