Really hard to see him getting a game considering Roos has to fit Dawes back into the team.

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.

Jesse has been absent in our two best wins over the last two seasons. No longer an elephant in the room and not sacrilegious to discuss. But the kid has talent. Let's work out what it is that enhances our attack when he is away and incorporate his attributes into that mix.

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.

Agree. I'd give him a run at CHB and see how he went. I reckon he'd dominate.

Serious? You're joking right? He's still a kid.

Added to that side and playing well , we could kick some scary numbers.

Ofcourse we need Hogan. He's got amazing potential and is already performing well. The interesting thing is how we won without him today and last year. Not having him inside 50 meant our players couldn't bomb it long to him and had to lower their eyes and hit a leading target instead. It made us a lot more unpredictable and gave us more opportunity. When he returns we need to keep that mentality going and not just bomb it to him as it hasn't worked well this year. Hogan also needs to get on his bike and lead more instead of just calling for it and winding up double-teamed. He does it well when he's up the ground but for some reason inside 50 he just hasn't learnt to lead properly yet. If he does that and learns to kick set shits from over 40 meters he will be unstoppable and so will the whole team!

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.

Except that from now on, bomb balls into Melbourne's f50 will be much less frequent.

(unless Max is there, of course!)

"Do we need Jesse"

Strictly speaking - no.

If he holds us to ransom I'm comfortable we can kick goals sans him, and the sum of the loot we'd get for him would be our Cyril/Selwood/Parker cherry on the cake.

Do I want to lose him? Not in a million years.

What a remarkably sensible comment.

Hogan and Weed: the future.

Dawes is Gawn.

 

No, Max is Gawn. Dawes are things that need closing.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
