People need to stop worrying about what he isn't and focus on what he is. You want to see a world where Hogan isn't in the red and blue, look at our game against Freo. All at sea with no focal point. He is the anchor of our forward line and is going through a rough patch but he's only played 2 seasons and 3 games. His best is match winner material. 

Supporyets really need to stop looking at him and wishing he was Jonathon Brown or Wayne Carey and support the fact that he's still a developing KPF finding his way in the game.

Stupid comment.  So the fact he went home means he can't also socialise with his mates.  

He is a 22 year old kid,  who seems to have a lot going on and having a day out and getting on the beers is not the end of the world. 

How the f..k do you know what happened within the club.  Should they have publicly ridiculed him???

It's probably just the way I was brought up I guess. But if my old man was gravely ill and I was given the time to visit him over the other side of the country, the last thing I would want to do is be anywhere other than with him for that short period of time.

And I don't know what has happened at the club, I never alluded to anything like it.

It's just an opinion that you can either take or leave. No need to get nasty.

Lethals view was that Hogan is a stay at home full forward and cant play up the ground.

Which is total nonsense as Hogan is fantastic up the ground and very mobile.

My growing concern is that Lethal had it back-to-front.

I see no problem of his having some personal time with his mates.  I imagine his father supported him having a day out with his friends.

His development is coming long nicely and will be  a valuable part of our finals campaigns.

I want to think Jesse is the real deal. I do.

As alluded.... Something nqr.

Time will tell.

For some reason it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it all turned on its head.

We aren't privvy obviously ( to what we arent told )

Hope he settles down and fires....hope ;)

TGR is talking dribble. That's not what Leigh Matthews said. 

He said he's only going to be a forward that jumps and marks the ball, he'll be no good at ground level. Which is absolute garbage. Probably a quarter of his goals are from ground balls and he's set up numerous others via (often sublime) hands. 

 

TGR also said Naitanui would be the greatest player the game has ever seen and Cotchin will be the best midfielder in the game. LOL

I don't think anybody is writing Jesse off and I hope he stays a Demon for life and kicks a million goals.  However, as a student of human behaviour, I too sense that something is not quite right and my gut tells me he won't be in the red and blue after 2018. I pray to God that I am wrong.

Jesse is a great talent but concern is his development trend seems to have wained and in some cases his traits appear to have regressed. Not unusual for a kid in what is really his third year and with a bit going on. No need for concern yet but he will possibly be the biggest key to how we develop players as to whether he ends up a superstar, a trade and forget or a good player who could have been great.

Our forward line looks so much better with Jesse than without him: on that basis alone I dunno how anyone can doubt his importance to the side

Did someone copy and paste one of the many Jack Watts threads and do a gloabal replace substituting "Jesse Hogan" for "Jack Watts"?

Its called maturity.... Jack Reivoldt had body language issues also!

Expectations are too high for a 21yo playing his 3rd season!

 

 

It is not his body or age H2014 the problem is above the shoulders.

Hogan may seem to work hard when he is playing up the ground but his attack on the ball when playing deep forward is soft. Makes few leads inside 50, poor attempts in contested marking by playing for frees, marginal second efforts and almost certain to miss shots from 30+ metres out. Like he does not want to be in a situation where has to take a medium to long shot at goal. His goal kicking confidence has not improved. He does get scragged a lot in marking situations but if he made more genuine attempts to attack the ball  he may get more frees and umpire respect and defenders will drop that tactic.

I agree.

 

All I am saying is that most of us have overrated him.

RIP to Jesse's Dad

Let's hope the media leave him alone

Good luck with that SWYL.

Time to give the kid the weekend off so he can go to WA to be with his family.

The MFC means nil in this situation.

Agree with the sentiment, and the club has said he won't play this weekend. But a small correction ... his dad died in Melbourne yesterday after watching the Anzac eve game, and the Age reports that the funeral will be held in Adelaide (where he was originally from).

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
