I'm sick of hearing about Rioli. He is a poor man's Sean Charles in my opinion.....

If Daniher misses out because he "can't kick" I'm afraid Hogan might have to miss for the same reason. Neither Daniher or Hogan are reliable kicks for goal but both get the ball often enough that they can still make this list sooner rather than later. But not yet. 

Granted that Hogan's kicking last year was average. I think history will show that last year was an outlier for Hogan. The whole contract thing seemed to affect him and his confidence.Note that I mentioned him as leading the next crop of forwards (up tp 3 years on the list).

Overall he averages a healthy 62.4% overall which is pretty good compared to Daniher's 55.9%. Daniher's average has barely changed year on year so has little hope of him improving. At least Hogan has shown he can do it and he appears to have significantly fine-tuned his current routine and made a good start on the weekend

I really hope you're speaking with your tongue firmly in your cheek. Otherwise, I suggest you seek help to adjust your rose-coloured glasses.

Yep I reckon the less media attention that Jesse gets the more he will like it. No more $15m dollar man and being touted the best forward in a generation. I'm guessing the lower his profile and the more attention some equally talented team mates get the happier he will be plying his trade. He will always attract a certain amount of media being an insanely talented, contested marking  prodigal freak but think he is content to fly under the radar as much as possible

Not even Sean Charles himself would agree with that statement! Certainly not a serious statement.


Daniher is a far worse kick for goal than Hogan. Hogan will miss a few shots that should be kicked but Daniher is a 60-40 from 15 out directly in front. I'm under no illusions that hogan is a great kick but let's not get to carried away here. Besides that Hogan is a far better player anyway.. he covers the ground far better and is a better reader of the play. He has a better footy brain.

Lynch (GCS)

Franklin

Walker

Betts

Kennedy

Greene

Hogan

Rioli

N. Riewoldt

in no particular order.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
