Im not rewriting history. That's laughable. So is introducing strawman arguments. 

No bigger stage than a GF. 

Be interesting to compare , should Hogan get to play finals, irrespective for whom.

A different tempo and pressure than h & a 

 

 

You make your name in Grand Finals.

To everyone except MFC supporters Boyd in a $million player who was instrumental in helping his side win a GF the first for 60+ years.

It matters not what Hogan has done Boyd is the top dog.

At this point it would appear Boyd has many more finals games to go.

Jessie has yet to play in one and probably won't till at least 2018 let alone be instrumental in winning a GF.

Boyd has the Chocolates at this point IMO.

By my reckoning, Redleg, it's been a string of finals culminating in a great Grand Final performance.

Pity the stats don't support you.

He is a 200cm forward/ruckman on $1m plus a year.

No goals in first 3 finals.

3.5 kicks ave in first 3 finals. 3 marks ave in first 3 finals. 15 disposals in first 3 finals ( not bad )

Hitouts 12 ave in first 3 finals.

Anyway he has a medallion in his best game.

Can we go back to the days of having two Hogan threads? One for his contract and another for all other Hogan (or should that be Boyd) stuff. The other thread was called "The Incredible Hulk: Jesse Hogan" but has disappeared into oblivion.

Would make things easier for those that come into this thread with no interest in reading through inane debates and are just anxious about Hogan re-signing or being traded soon. I can't be the only one in that boat.

Mathew Pavlich hasn't made his name in a winning grand final, is Boyd better than him also? 

what about Nick Rewoldt?

he played a great game but surely common sense says that you judge a player on a body of work, not just 1 or 2 games

Actually, there's a Hogan thread on the main board as part of our 2016 Season Review series. Hogan was first up because of his jumper number.

 

Here are the stats of Boyd and Jesse for this year for those who like to compare. Have fun analyzing.

Interesting stat and typical of the Bulldogs, about 13.5% of Boyd's possessions come from the umpires while about 5.5% of Jesse's do. Put even simpler, 1 in 7 of Boyd's possessions is a free kick while 1 in 19 of Jesse's is. Maybe if Jesse was a Bulldog he would have a lot more goals and possessions.

Sadly the general football public grade you according to the winning games you play in and your contribution.

Nothing that Jessie has played in comes close to the Game yesterday.As I said he has the chocolates and Jessie has a lot of "if"

On that basis, Cowan of Geelong is one of the greatest players to have ever played the game.

OD, personally I find this comparison nonsense boring and doesn't belong on here, but I think you will find the 'general public' regards great players as players who perform at a very high standard consistently, agreed some of them may win more games than other players including finals, but a lot don't, eg Harvey and Riewoldt from Saints

Boyd has now set his bar, let's see if he can  replicate it on a consistent basis

Same with Jesse

I raised Boyd because he can kick from 50, which is something Hogan struggles with.

as people are talking about contract size and his importance to the team, it was a point of difference that Boyd has over Hogan. We know what Boyd is paid.  Hogans value for mine would double if he could finish off from outside the arc.

I see them as very different players.

looking forward to JH's situation being resolved, and everyone getting on.  

Who gives a stuff?  Seriously.  Boyd plays one decent game and we resort to analysing stats and debating who is better.  What in God's name is the point?

Someone wake me up when a decision is made.  This thread is becoming a joke, if it hadn't become one already.

Redleg, I don't need to read his H & A stats to know that he was an absolute gun in the finals. I watched every final he played. This is not to say that Hogan can't do the same (I truly believe he can) but Boyd's been a revelation come finals time. The GF was not a one off. And I don't particularly like him.

Interesting stat and typical of the Bulldogs, about 13.5% of Boyd's possessions come from the umpires while about 5.5% of Jesse's do. Put even simpler, 1 in 7 of Boyd's possessions is a free kick while 1 in 19 of Jesse's is. Maybe if Jesse was a Bulldog he would have a lot more goals and possessions.

And that is all Hogan's fault and all Boyd's credit.

Do you think if Jesse was a Bulldog, he might have a medallion today?

Superb posting, Captain Obvious.

Keep on trolling.

Redleg, I don't need to read his H & A stats to know that he was an absolute gun in the finals. I watched every final he played. This is not to say that Hogan can't do the same (I truly believe he can) but Boyd's been a revelation come finals time. The GF was not a one off. And I don't particularly like him.

Actually they included his finals stats as well.

Well we can agree to disagree on whether Boyd was an absolute gun in the finals.

I don't think he was.

I think he played a great game in the GF.

You make your name in Grand Finals.

To everyone except MFC supporters Boyd in a $million player who was instrumental in helping his side win a GF the first for 60+ years.

It matters not what Hogan has done Boyd is the top dog.

At this point it would appear Boyd has many more finals games to go.

Jessie has yet to play in one and probably won't till at least 2018 let alone be instrumental in winning a GF.

Boyd has the Chocolates at this point IMO. 

Couldn't disagree more.

I thought Boyd was great yesterday and he did it on the biggest day of the football calendar. 

If you want to argue who has accomplished more - no brainer - footy is a team game and there is no higher prize than a premiership.

If you want to argue who has been the better player over the course of their short careers - it is also a no brainer in my opinion - Hogan. 

I congratulate Boyd on a fantastic game but up until the final series he had been very ordinary with many pundits questioning him and one even suggesting he renegotiate his contract for less money as it was affecting him. He played a serviceable final series up unto the GF and played an absolute pearler in the big one This might be Tom Hawkins revisited - a break out game leading to a prosperous career - however i am not going to revise what has been, on balance, a fairly poor return up until yesterday.

I've never seen someone actively campaign against a player like this before.  You should be ashamed of yourself.

And if we're going by 'stats', then it's clear Hogan is on top.  130 more touches, 100 more marks, 27 more goals... the list goes on.  

I do like how we forget that Boyd stunk it up all year because he played one good game in the finals.  He was poor, at best, all year up until 24 hours ago.

 

Boyd at $1mil, versus Griffen (or equivalent trade value) and pick 6.

I wouldn't say it was 'no Boyd no premiership'. Especially given the Dogs recent recruiting performance. And indeed, just on the value of pick 6, the story is they were looking at either Peter Wright or Jake Lever, both of whom have outperformed Boyd by a respectable margin. Reference

Would we be happy enough with Hogan = equivalent of Ryan Griffen + Pick 6? Would we probably work out with a better list position on paper in that event?

Probably.

And yet, I'd rather Hogan choose to stay and I'd rather the team hold together to build something special.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
