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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
