On the AFL site's article Mahoney says something about jesse commiting with an asterix. Whats that about?

 

"It is one of the earlier questions that a potential player asks is, 'What does your list look like in the next few years?'" Mahoney said.

"We've been able to put Jesse Hogan's name there – maybe with an asterisk – but now we can put it there and put it alongside Jack Viney, Clayton Oliver, Angus Brayshaw, Dom Tyson, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca

    He jut meant that prior to today when telling potential players who was on our list, he listed Hogan but had to indicate it was possible he wouldn't be, ie. the fine print

    Asterisk was because he was only signed on for 1 more year, and there was speculation he was looking to leave.

    Not a problem now.

    Right now the next important move is to get him a personal kicking coach / mentor and get rid of that stttutttterrring run up.

    Excellent news to wake up to

    Thanks Jesse

    Take a holiday then practise your kicking so you become deadly in front of goal...

    If the Bulldog's had their handball club, we should start a goal kicking club.

    Can be lead by Jack Watts, with Christian Salem as VC.  If all of our players could kick for goal like those two boys, then our conversion will smell like pure roses.

    I agree, goalkicking seems to be an afterthought these day, it makes no sense, when scoring is the ultimate purpose of the game!

    Compulsory: every player takes 100 shots at goal before and after training, some sort of internal penalty if they miss too many of those, it's a skill that doesn't get nearly enough attention in my opinion.

    Asterix would be sensational as a crumbing forward or running off half back

    Don't think there are any doubts about wanting to be in Melbourne the city and Melbourne the club!

    2) And here is a gif from the club website announcing his contract extension via twitter this morning:

    I really liked his honesty in that interview.  Happily admitted that, at one stage, he was 50/50 about where he wanted to play his footy which is totally understandable.  He came over to Melbourne at 17 and I'm sure the lure to be home with family and friends would be strong.  However, it seems he has a great relationship with Goody and McCartney and we've created a great environment to play football in.  In the end it seems that the club has put all the right things in place and that made his decision much, much easier.

    Well done to the club and it's bloody super to have Jesse on board for at least another 3 years!

    You have an internal comp. The goal kicking ladder. Every week, every player takes X shots on goal. Highest score wins. Lowest score suffers a penalty, to be decided by rest of team. Shout the others a meal, or some such.

    You can do it in groups too. Groups of 4. Highest/lowest within the group, same deal. Groups can challenge other groups to see which is king of the mountain. Winners get a prize, losers a penalty.

    Put something on the line, that means something to the players, but also helps with the cameraderie.

    Footy clubs should ask pro golfers for ideas on how to practise goal kicking. Eg you take 10 shots from various set angles/distances. You can't leave training until you have dobbed all 10 in a row. If you miss one, you start again.

    Sorry, I'm not sure how Lobby staying with GWS can be regarded as a good thing, or am I missing something?

    It's pretty funny that people think footy clubs don't already do stuff like this.

    Precisely. I want to watch Ross Lyon crash and burn. Also my housemate goes for Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
