    Hogan is out of form and his confidence is low. Thanks for letting us know Dermot 'Captain Obvious' Brereton.

    After a cracking first 9 or so rounds, the guy has had a few low weeks. I'm sure it's not lost on the FD, they'll be working on it.

    Lol to the posters on other threads suggesting we should drop or even trade him!

    Get Dermott down to the club NOW to forward coach Hogan. 

    Pay him a good wage, he knows exactly what Hogan should be doing, as he was the same player 30 years ago

    GET Dermott MFC

    4-6 goals a game we should be getting with our i50 count

    68 last week and Hogan was unsighted!!!!

    MADNESS..

    Spot on, Moonie.  It's nothing more than this.

    Jonathon Brown said he playing like a 'Fish' but should be the 'Shark'.  https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/why-demons-need-star-forward-jesse-hogan-to-return-to-being-a-great-white-shark/news-story/1117606af1d368416a21f9cc0decbaac

    Brown suggests, his role as a mid/forward has him chasing possessions and scouting packs(fish) rather than going for pack marks or crashing packs and bring the ball to ground (shark).  It certainly seems that way of late.

    For mine, Jesse is another example of the 'flexible players' game plan getting to the point where we have a forward group comprised of uniform players without clearly identified roles.  This is the antithesis of cohesion and predictability in the forward half.

    Hes had a couple of quiet games...  three games ago he had 19 possessions, 10 marks and kicked 5 goals.   The game before that he had 20-11-5.

    Give me a break.

    concern is that like so many of our players he has been 'down' in big games

    He can’t take big pack marks. So why is anyone suprised when we constantly bomb the footy in he’s not influencing the game. If he’s playing deep kick it accordingly, play to his strengths. Having said that it doesn’t mean he still can’t crash the occasional pack.

    It's not like the last few weeks define his career.

    It's been atypical.  

    He'll sort it out.

    Hogan will be fine.  Last week no-one actually kicked him the bloody ball so that wasn't his fault.  Against Port he was poor.

    He is an absolute gun and would be third in our BnF imo (behind Gawn and Oliver)

    and he LOVES the sainters.  6.0 comin up.

    Jesse's best role is as a moving tall target with licence to roam to positions where he can present and distribute.

    For him to be a "front and square" crumber is a waste of a huge talent and punishes the team who lose his exquisite skills up the ground.

    The only time he should be near the goal square is when he is running.

    It will take a combined effort SW.  This is a great test for the club and player to adjust the sails from starboard (crumbing fish role as mentioned) to Port (KPF - shark).  If the FD weren't aware of it they certainly will now ?

    Next 3 weeks is a great opportunity to fix.

    I think they missed the fact that our delivery was horrid at times.  But at other times it was in his area (as per fox video) and on a couple of occasions on the chest also which he missed.

    My understanding is forwards gain confidence with much that they do by scoring goals.  Get him back to doing that and the rest should follow.

    P.S. Minor point but might have helped his confidence a little if T-Mac handballed to him in the square on Friday night for the goal.  Bit risky though.

    All fugazi 

    Hogan at his best is everything, covering more kms faster than opponents, being stronger than them, crashing packs, marking and kicking goals.  He is not one ‘type’ he is his own beast.

    he is still young, and his form will fluctuate.  He will be back in form and all of those who want him traded or dropped can rejizz on the oldjizz.  Because there was plenty’o’that when he was dominating.

    Brereton is a stain, Jesse is an easy target. I would not let Brereton anywhere near him.

    Real stars of the game live for the big moments, whereas most of ours seem to overawed in every big game we play.

    If only the entire side were as consistent as Oliver, regardless of opposition,  we would be world beaters.

    Yeah, you're right, everything's fine and it is unreasonable of us to expect him to get a kick in big games against Collingwood and Port.  FFS.

    It was interesting to hear Roos talk about us before the port game  last week.

    He said one big area for concern was that our forward structure has not settled properly yet.

    The bombing wouldn't have helped.

    I think Dermott is commenting on the symptoms and Roos knows the cause.

    Hope it gets sorted quickly.

    How many games did Richmond's "stars" have under their belt before they started to perform in the big moments ?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
