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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
