He's a pretty reliable kick from 35m or less and without much of an angle to work with. 

It's once he gets further out or starts hugging the boundary line that he's fairly useless.

We have some pretty reliable shots for goal, Watts (elite), TMac, Jones, Pedersen, Lewis, Salem. JH is a long way behind these guys.

 

Add Christian Petracca to that list. He is a beautiful kick.

What a mare of a season Hogan had.

Anyone Know how many games he played this season?

Could be the making of the kid.  Hopefully he can put this year behind him and it makes him a stronger, tougher and more resilient player for the future.

For me this is why there doesn't seem to be any point playing him again this year. At best we make finals and he's available for selection, without match/fitness conditioning what will his value be on the field? Moral for teammates?

If we end up in the finals we need everyone cherry ripe and in form, we don't need someone out on the field finding his feet again. The only scenario I'd be happy with is if he returned with Casey playing finals and he has AT LEAST one week there and dominates before playing for us.

Pre-finals bye forces VFL into new eligibility rule

So going by that he would be eligible during the bye week but not the rest of the VFL finals.

That he's played 8 games is imo testament to his character. Suspension, father's death, cancer. That trifecta may have knocked anyone else out for the season.  He is a great kid with a great head on his shoulders. He'll bounce back.

The rumours are flying thick and fast since King threw his little bait out - I for one refuse to believe it

What rumours? 


on the latest real footy (aka the age) podcast, they alluded to difficulties btw hogan and goodwin again, and that we are shopping him for trade despite him being under contract

i really hope it's all just white noise; you don't give up on a talent as special as jesse

What possible  issues could  there be between Hoges and  Goodwin

Are you referring to the spot around the 21 min mark where they said a club is shopping their star forward around because of issues with the head coach? No mention was made of names.  Was the discussion you allude to about Hogan somewhere else in the recording?

If its a rumour it probably started in the DL Jake Lever thread when someone suggested him as a trade.  The last thing Jesse needs is to be the talk of the town again!  I cannot imagine the club trading Hogan under any circumstances let alone being seen to 'dump' him after his horrendous year. 

Edit:  If the podcast did not mention Jesse, then his name should not be mentioned as it only feeds the 'fake story'.  It could be any number of clubs.  Bulldogs-Boyd.  Pies-Moore.  StK-McCartin.

  • 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.

  • 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.
