The do we need Jesse? (Semi serious thread)


Redjacket

Recommended Posts

Not sure if you guys have noticed, but Jesse Hogan has been getting a lot of his ball on the wings these past few weeks. Jack Watts has actually been out full forward a lot of the time. Now with Weiderman in the side, fitting all these forwards together will be a nice problem for Goodwin to solve over the next year or so.

Up there with Olisik's thread on Nathan Jones as the worst thread on here this year.

Some just can't enjoy winning.  What a shame that is.

Keep your opinions about other posters to yourself mate. No one cares.

Yeah, nah.

How is that Nathan Jones thread going, by the way?  Embarrassing.

No issues with that thread mate, also it has nothing to do with Jesse. Only thing embarrasing is you clutching at straws to have a go at people. As I said, keep it to yourself as no one cares.

No?

That says it all, really.

Absolutely we need Jesse Hogan. Lets not forget the kid is 21 years old! To put that in perspective Josh J Kennedy is 28, Buddy 29 and even 'the best player in the comp' Tom Lynch is 23. 

Sure he can mope around times etc. but he is still a baby in relative terms...  so give him a break, and watch him continue to grow and dominate! Wouldn't trade him for the world....

Yeh, best young forward in memory is superfluous.  Silly...when we win premierships we can start thinking about this rubbish. Keep it in perspective - the win should be a stepping stone, and hogan is essential for the future.

And can we get over the up the ground stuff, he's a CHF, he'll be a multiple time AA because doing that stuff while kicking 70 goals a year

Weideman F.F

Hogan C.H.F

Watts - swingman

Gawn - resting bomb-ball pack buster.

 

It's all coming together. Our coach in waiting must be pinching himself after today. The players can feel it now.

On the balance of probabilities, at the end of the day, when considering all future contingencies and likelihoods, and upon scrutinising the range of potential results vis-a-vis whole-team performance, seasonal fluctuations and eventualities of numerous match-ups in diverse circumstances, one is led to the conclusion that, barring unforseeable and extraordinary eventualities our relative position is improved, both now and into the future, by the continuing presence of Jesse Hogan in or around our forward line.

Would be a top 3 back man right now if played there. Is a promising forward. Has shown enough to even suggest he is worth 1 million a year. Given he can play at both ends, I see no problem with offering the kid a stack. Buddy is on a stack, Rance is on a stack, and this kid can do it at either end. Not just forward, and not just back. Could probably even be a rover. I've seen him ruck our forward line effectively as well (at times). There is nothing Hogan cannot do. You don't go getting rid of those type of players. Not for Fyfe, or for anyone.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
